I like this idea. The idea that EVERYONE can sit down and make the same sounds out of this instrument and no matter how much musical wherewithal you have you are no better or worse than a toddler. It is like a musical interpretation of the ideology of socialism... also it looks like a lot of fun.

The people responsible for American Idol and X-Factor and all that saccharine, manufactured bollocks need to go and look at what David Byrne does, and has done for the best part of four decades, and then hang their heads in shame. Five giddy boys/tarts stood in a row singing someone else's song is NOT music. David Byrne, on the other hand, is a bottomless well of creativity and originality, AND a musical maestro, and I salute him for it. The man is a living legend.

Can someone say "Reunite the Talking Heads".
Maybe call the new album: "Twice in a Lifetime".
