This week’s programme has a track recorded in Belgium, possibly the only such we have in the vaults.

Here’s some goodness from Belgium - beer lovers will warm to this…

A collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim?

OK, why not?

With songs about Imelda Marcos, shoe-fetishist deluxe?

Must be a fantasy…

However, David writes: “I have, after many years, finished the Here Lies Love CD project – at least this iteration of it. It will come out in late February on Nonesuch. It’s a collaboration with Fatboy Slim , an upbeat series of songs sung each one by a different singer. The songs are about Imelda Marcos and Estrella Cumpas, the woman who raised her. The package includes 2 CDs (22 songs), a DVD with videos of 6 of those songs, and a 100-page book that explains it all. Singers include Florence Welch (of Florence + The Machine), Sia, Santigold, Nellie McKay, Sharon Jones, St. Vincent, Róisín Murphy and many more (even me on 1 and 1/2)… I am pretty excited about this, but who knows, it might just make people crazy.”
