"Loveland," but I really like "Deep Sleep" too, which has a bit of the same hypno-mystery as "Dirty Back Road."

Side 1 >>>> Side 2

"Mesopotamia"

Still fiendishly underrated.

Yes! May even be my fave after the debut.

title track 4 EVA.

YES! Even though Side 2 >>>> Side 1 for me. Love love love every track, though. "Throw That Beat In the Garbage Can" proves they did downtown NYC at least as well as any downtown NYCer. There was even a not so good but very pretty German band called Throw That Beat In the Garbage Can (they did, unfortunately).

Great cover too!

Just in case anyone hasn't heard the original David Byrne mixes of Loveland and Cake, figured this would be a great spot to repost the link.

I love how Ricky Wilson and David Byrne's guitars are indistinguishable.
