On St Arkansas, sticking somewhat to the geographical theme of '98's ''Pennsylvania,'' David Thomas applies his solemn bleat to ''a car full of dreams'' -- a journey across a blasted landscape of arid loneliness, interrupted by moments of surreal humor. The best of the batch is ''Slow Walking Daddy,'' a better Talking Heads song than anything Talking Heads did after their debut, yet an utterly typical piece of witty Ubu absurdity.
