Just got my copy and haven't even listened yet, although I've heard some of it already and know I'll really like it. Also just got in the mail last night the debut from the big buzz band of the moment, Vampire Weekend. Just started to listen, but a very fun record for those that still love that English Beat sound (and yeah, I'm very guilty on that score, one of the best bands of that era). Unfortunately, mastered way too loud, so nowhere as good sounding as those records by the Talking Heads and the Beat and Paul Simon and Oingo Boingo and all the rest, and of course musicheads of my generation have heard it all before, and probably heard it done better, but still loads of monkey fun, so no apologies from me, and don't be peeing in my pool

A friend of mine saw them locally a week or so ago and was raving about the show too.
