New B-52's - "Hot Corner"

When we wrote about B-52's "Funplex," from the album of the same name, we bemoaned the lack of Fred Schneider in the iTunes sample. Well, fans of catchy non sequiturs need wait no longer because the totally fun "Hot Corner" is Schneider rich: "He's a mess, but he's really pretty," "hey y'all last call, last chance to dance ... whoooo!," "tragically hot, show what you got," etc. Tin roof, not rusty! This might be their first album since 1992, but damn if they haven't lost a dance step. There's also a brief interview with Kate, where she talks about meeting Peaches and digging Björk and Joe Strummer's solo material. Also: "I like Amy Winehouse, Beck, Miss Dynamite and this Canadian band called StinkMitt." (Introducing, StinkMitt and their "Push It" modification.)

No one comments on this!!? Not.. one.. person.. (except for me). Damn, I own all the B-52's comment to my own self.

Too bad.. guess they aren't "hip" enough for comment by the Stereogummers. Song sounds promising.. at least I'm happy we're getting at least one more B's LP in my lifetime.
