I love Stans solo stuff, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to claim himself and non-WOV musicians as WOV. There are at least 2 original members still living, and a few others from the post Stan era - I think it would be a bit more honest to call this "Stan Ridgway performs the songs of WOV"... I did not know that and just assumed it was a reunion. I must admit I'm disappointed. According to the WOV myspace page the surviving members were asked to participate but I'm skeptical and wonder why none of them agreed to it. In any case, I'm still looking forward to hearing a Wall of Voodoo set by his current band, but it's not going to be like a real reunion, like the amazing recent shows by the Weirdos, Mission of Burma, and DEVO.
