Bent popmeister Stephin Merritt composes music to be performed live to a highly typical if little-known silent movie of Tod Browning (a sideshow ventriloquist, midget, and strongman band together for . . . crime!).  This seems like so much fun that I won't quibble that what's best about Merritt is his lyrics.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Los Tacos No. 1 is really good.
