I saw the tune last night on the "Pepsi Chart". An excellent track, to be sure.

Victor - Perhaps you could help me:

The announcer introduced the "legendary David Byrne". Interesting. Could you enlighten me and fill me in on his past musical career? (I am a 70's soul veteran ...)

Favorite Talking Heads song "life during wartime" I love the lyrics " this ain't no party,this ain't no Disco, I ain't got time for that now"......I also like "and she was ", good stuff...

The Staple Singers did a FANTASTIC cover of the Talking Heads track Slippery People back in the 80's. I remember doing the rain dance the day I found the 12"...

hey yo victor,

that X-press2 song LAZY with David Byrne is fantastic! I bought the 12" this week.

but i don't like the remix by norman cook (fatboy slim). He makes great remixes, but this one just sucks. I guess he was kinda LAZY when he made it.

**victor nelson** · April 27th, 2002, 10:14 PM

Yeah!!!

I hate that Norman Cook version.Nowadays i think they stick names on the versions to increase sales.

I know that for fact

The reprise versiion is goos and so is the extended version on the other 12".

Hey I still like JEAN MICHEL JARRE maily.
Collect all the pre 1077 stuff

I forgot to say in my last email there is also a sample on the lazy record that is from another record from the 70`s .It`s hard to remember,but do have a listen and you`ll see what i mean!
