Thanks for the mini history, Mark. I've only recently purchased the full length but there's quite a few songs on there even better (and poppier) than "Cobrastyle." So yes, serious I was, though part of what I dug about that Letterman appearance was the humor of it, as well as the unusual instrumentation. Normally I'd think two drummers wasn't necessary -- though Pere Ubu toured that way at one point and the shows were kick ass -- but they really push the rhythmic punch here.
