I love Fear of Music and Stop Making Sense, but I've neglected most of their other work. I may have to join you on this quest.<br /><br />Also, although I haven't seen it in years, I remember getting a kick out of the David Byrne movie, True Stories. Might be worth a look while doing this project.Eric @ The Warning Signhttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-5948229156772548382014-02-15T22:37:52.124-08:002014-02-15T22:37:52.124-08:00@Chip Lary: Feel like you are actually at the conc...@Chip Lary: Feel like you are actually at the concert, that’s pretty high praise. Those college roommates know a thing or two :)<br /><br />@SJHoneywell: I’m blogging about them two albums at a time, 4 posts about 8 albums.<br />I’ll take your advice and give Remain in Light another go, and look out for those tracks, before I post about that album. My initial reaction is I enjoyed it, yet also quite exhausting experience to listen to in its entirety. Perhaps because how fast-paced and danceable the record is. Probably get used to that pace on multiple listens.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-5270940104721108742014-02-15T20:31:39.817-08:002014-02-15T20:31:39.817-08:00Love Talking Heads. Love them. The next two albums...Love Talking Heads. <i>Love them</i>. The next two albums you look at are their best two (my opinion, and assuming you're skipping live albums--no The Name of this Band is Talking Heads or Stop Making Sense). I recommend listening to Remain in Light multiple times, particularly what used to be the first side of the album: Born Under Punches, Crosseyed and Painless, and The Great Curve. It's arguably the best half album of the 1980s.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-59601409696459582142014-02-15T15:47:53.541-08:002014-02-15T15:47:53.541-08:00My college roommate got me into the Talking Heads ...My college roommate got me into the Talking Heads in the mid 80s.<br /><br />And Stop Making Sense is great.
