Speaking In Tongues About LOST

As soon as Under Byen wrapped up their awesome set at Merc last night (post TK), it seemed like everyone we spoke to was off to do the same thing: check in with Sawyer, Kate, and Jack! Yeah, we're pathetic, but you KNOW you wanna talk about LOST. Did you catch the Talking Heads tidbit in the show's mind-blowing opening sequence? Stereogum-reader Moshav writes:

I'm sure somebody out there can send a picture of it, but in LOST last night, girl picks out a CD to play.Although Petula Clark's "Downtown" ends up playing, the CD liner notes and back sleeve are clearly the Talking Heads' Speaking in Tongues.In that split second, I was half hoping and half dreading that a certain naive melody was about to play.

Those are some sharp eyes! We were proud of ourselves for noticing that the book club was reading Stephen King. So what's up with the CD cover bait-and-switch? Is it a clue? And The Others -- are we supposed to hate them? Or sympathize? And how do they know so much?

The suspense was tolerable when we were playing catch-up on Seasons One and Two. Now we're just fucked.
