Sure there are tons of artists doing this type of stuff. I have been on the mailing list for ages but never listened to any of the selections. Gave this most recent one a go.
It is really very good. Plenty of mainstream people splattered throughout it.With anything like this you have to listen to it all the way through and go with some of the slightly odd tracks. If you happen to be a fan of David Byrne you can see where he got so many of his ideas from.
