Byrne said of one of the songs: "The tune is as oddly structured as any of their pieces, but you sort of don�t notice because it is really catchy and it all flows as if nothing untoward is going on whatsoever."

Michelle Williams - Williams Returns To Red-carpet At Cannes
Actress MICHELLE WILLIAMS impressed film fans by making a last minute appearance at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday (22May08) - treading her first red-carpet since the death of former partner HEATH LEDGER.
The star dazzled hordes of photographers as she made her way down the French festival's red-carpet to promote her latest movie Wendy And Lucy.
Williams has kept a low profile since the tragic passing of Ledger - the father of William's two-year-old daughter Matilda - who died from an accidental drugs overdose in his New York apartment earlier this year (Jan08).
The former Dawson's Creek star reached out the world's media in the months after Ledger's death, pleading for privacy for herself and her daughter, saying, "My heart is broken. Please respect our need to grieve privately."
But the star decided it was time to return into the public spotlight, making a last minute long-haul flight from New York to attend the renowned festival.
A representative for Wendy And Lucy explains, ""It was decided on Monday night that she could come to Cannes, and she got on the next plane to arrive just in time to get dressed and come to our premiere."
According the People.com, Williams will stay in Cannes to promote another project, Synecdoche, New York, before returning to the U.S. to continue shooting a Martin Scorcese movie.

John Matthias, Stories From The Watercooler
Although he sounds like neither, it's quite revealing to learn that John Matthias is an associate of both Thom Yorke and Matthew Herbert, the former of whom he met at Exeter University before later contributing violin to Radiohead's The Bends, whilst the latter collaborated on Matthias'debut LP, Smalltown, Shining on Herbert's Lifelike label. For what this singer-songwriter shares with both is a despair with the intellectual debasement of Western society, something Yorke communicated in the The Eraser's dense electronica and Herbert with his creative use of samples on albums like Plat Du Jour.
Yet what Matthias conveys in electronically-tinged folk-rock feels more sad and reflective than seething or abstract. In terms of lyrical themes, Stockwell Road takes a similar approach to Yorke's Harrowdown Hill, focusing upon a real-life news story – in this case the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes – as part of a wider picture questioning the morality of the 'War On Terror'. But it's also a touchingly personal song as well, made more so by the simplicity of the sparse piano over which Matthias sings about walking the innocent man's steps every morning.
It's also more affecting than the other most overtly political song One Sunny Morning In The No-Fly Zone, where some of the imagery about bombs and Britney Spears is a little heavy-handed. Indeed, its Matthias' lightness of touch that makes for the album's most memorable moments, for he's far better at plaintive acoustic ballads like Evermore than he is at rockier tracks such as Blind Lead The Blind. Like Tuung, Matthias might colour his music with slight electronic shades, provided in here by album producers Coldcut, yet his songs are firmly in the folk story-telling tradition even when they're about resolutely contemporary concerns, be it the man determined to drive out a trendy Londoner in King Of A Small Town or the credit crunch in Viper’s Nest. But perhaps the song that says the most about Songs From The Watercooler is Stocktaking, being a beautifully melodic yet understated tune about a busker who, just like this album, doesn’t really fit in anywhere.
