But you can try the first and the most noisy of the bunch "Worst Case Scenario" and the last one, the most poppy and one of the most ambitious album of 1998, a bit between OKComputer from Radiohead and Deserter's Song from Mercury Rev. But the most curious one is "My Sister=My Clock" which is quite experimental but very accessible at the same time; very short too (a bit more than half an hour). 13 little songs with amazing sounds. You may compare it as a small Zappa's "Uncle Meat".

I hate it when we are passed along bad information. I checked out the Letterman link and it had no guest listed for tonight. Oh well, we will have to wait and see I guess....
