You can stream the 22-track double album at NPR and David Byrne's official website, where you can also download Santigold's track for free and learn a thing or two about Imelda Marcos.

I genuinely thought this was an April Fools' gag but it isn't. In fact, this project is awesome on so many levels I can't even begin to count them.
