Shred XLIX: And then the North Koreans attacked

Neil would be one of the coolest guys to hangout with. He's such a nice guy from what I've seen - really humble. I'd really like to talk about his musical influences and what inspires him to keep doing what he's doing. Hope I'm fortunate enough meet one of the guy's someday.

My dad actually use to work with Neil's first cousin at a local Botanical Garden. The whole family resides, well use to at least, around my area. My dad said they all look very similar to one another, that you could almost mistake Neil's cousin for him. 

Andrew, how's that St.Vincent/ David Bryne album? Any good? Should I give it a go?

Yeah, I will for sure. I was completely oblivious there was a collaboration going on until you brought up that avatar. What are some elements of the album you enjoy the most though? They're both brilliant songwriters, from what I've heard from their past work.

Well, each song features a prominent brass section, one of the few instances in which I enjoy brass. The songs are really catchy, the lyrics have that inventive and quirky brilliance that the two share, and their vocals are great.

Not really Heads style, but defiantly got some funky songs
