Haven't read it yet, but I'm hoping I get to see Jarmusch in a younger, gawkier mode before he became impenetrably cool.
The Del-Byzanteens are pretty wicked, actually. I got first turned onto them by hearing them in a Wim Wenders film, The State of Things. Wonder if he featured them on account of the director-connection, or because they were just a great New Wave band? You should definitely soulseek out the whole album.
I think there's footage of them performing on youtube somewhere. Let me dig it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBw9WBHz0cc Lol@Jarmusch's one-finger keyboarding.
