The "I been in prison, baby!" badass routine doesn't work as well now that Martha Stewart can use it too.

By the way, the first time I heard them (on David Byrne's TV show), my immediate reaction was that they reminded me of Manu Chau's old band Mano Negra, so I'd say fans of either should check out the other.

I've been waiting for a livie oZo album, because their one of the most explosive live bands around, but seem to wimp out a bit it the studio. Should be awesome.

That definitely sounds bad to me, as her vocal performances have generally been the most interesting part of her package. Bjork had other voices on Medulla...and it was astounding.
