downtownTV-ites encountered Corey Dargel performing in an art museum but refuse to hold that against him. his original song ‘Don’t Let Me Lose Control of My Heart’, performed with our puppet host Edgar (who’s outed in this week’s episode of Look Who’s Talking), is a wrencher and their cover of Stephin Merritt’s (The Magnetic Fields) ‘I’m Tongue-Tied’ will hopefully amuse Stephin, Claudia and unnamed others.]]>
