[net.music] Any information on a new Talking Heads album?

Has anybody heard any information about a new Talking Heads album?  I
read in Billboard two months ago that they had finished recording a new
album at the Record Plant in New York, but I have heard nothing since.

There is a new album out by David Byrne called `Music for The Knee
Plays', but the Billboard article specifically mentioned the whole
group and not just Byrne.

The May 5th issue of the "New York Times Magazine" had a long article on
David Byrne.  It mentioned not only that the new Talking Heads album will be
released in early summer, but also that David Byrne is writing the
screenplay for a feature film.  He intends to direct it later this year in
Texas.  Yee-haw!

The rest of the article was kind of silly -- they got Byrne to talk about
his work, which made him sound like just a trendy idiot.  Good thing that
the work stands for itself and doesn't need explanation.
