Oh, and this David Byrne fellow sounds like he's got a promising career in music ahead of him, as well. Dzama’s basically the best — no one’s got as much artistic command of root beer as he does.

For such a little-big city with the funny name, Winnipeg has a real, honest-to-goodness, vibrant and wild arts scene that rivals more famous centres. All that winter seems to breed the highest sort of weirdness. The water in Winnipeg comes from Ontario, and there /is/ something in it.

Add to this unique vision of the world the films of Guy Maddin, and you can see that YES, there IS something in the water here.

And the list of collaborators is awesome - Tom Waits, MIA, Byrne, Karen O. This is the most worthwhile project from Squeak E Clean since he did the music for the Adidas comercial a few years back (i've not been a fan since he borked the production on YYY's "Show Your Bones" - in my opinion, anyway.)
