Brighton Port Authority

THE BPA 'TOE JAM' FEAT. DAVID BYRNE & DIZZEE RASCAL

Here's a little video treat for today. I was poking around and reading about The Brighton Port Authority, the latest incarnation of my long time faves Simon Thornton and Norman Cook. Fun sounds...and I'm excited they are collaborating with two of my other favorites: David Byrne and Iggy Pop.
The video is intriguing on a couple of different levels. Not only is it a playful, kitschy visual to accompany the song, but it is a well-done comment on censorship. Were you remembering "The June Taylor Dancers" like I was? And those '70s haircuts are pretty snazzy, eh?
Check out BPA's MySpace for two other great songs. I can't wait for a whole album.
