    I freaking LOVE these guys. Saw them last night at Star Theater. James Brown, David Byrne, and LSD had a four-headed love child, and it was James Chance and the Contortions.

      @@TrueGroove Yeah, I'm guessing James and the lads are deliberately going for that same strange, hyperreality vibe here. It's not fair of me to compare them to outsider artists like James Quall or David Liebe Hart, who evoke that feeling without meaning too. Obviously James' background is in the No Wave scene so making weird, subversive music has been his MO for a long time.
