I thought that the intro section to "Bird Song" was a tape of Yma
Sumac.  I don't know where I heard that, but girl you know it's true.
I'll have to go back to my Amy Camus record and see if I can find it.
That Earthquake song always reminded me of the bit on "Bird Song".

P.S.  I have a Lene Lovich discography available if anyone is interested.
