Talking Heads

The Talking Heads were my first introduction to Alternative/College Radio music. We were living in Laredo, Texas at the time and we had a friend of ours Juan from Detroit come and visit us. He brought all of this cool and strange new music that mis hermanos and I never heard of before. We were living in a Texas border town where Top 40 and Tejano were king. One of bands that I instantly fell for was The Talking Heads. Years, later after we moved up to San Antonio, I finally... MORE

Battery Maritime Building, New York City The "Playing the Building" art installation centers on the organ, which sprouts colorful tubes that lead to metal beams, columns, pipes, elec... MORE

A little note for all you guys and girls who know how to fix things. In my spare time, something I've come upon a lot of recently, I found that I can make a bucket load of money as a small jobs handyman. I went to a local retirement community and tacked up a card saying that I was "...available to fix minor plumbing problems, install ceiling fans, rehang cabinet doors, put in new door knobs. Call me and tell me what you job is and I'll see if I can fix it." Well I've been wor... MORE

Mashup of a bunch of Stop Making Sense clips and some other life stuff as well. Stop Making Sense being up there with the Last Waltz as the best concert docs - also love this version of Naive Melody.

Stephen and I recently agreed that "Little Creatures" is our least favorite Talking Heads album. As a result of this agreement I ended up listening to it again, and I'm developing a sincere affection for its total weirdness. Things I Like About "Little Creatures" 1. The baby theme. I submit that only David Byrne could write lyrics like the ones in "Stay up late." 2. The unexpected and somewhat unsettling country vibe on "Creatures of Love." 3. The lyrics for ... MORE

Why can you no longer find albums with songs like this in the punk section anymore? Listen To The Talking Heads, smile, laugh, and just generally enjoy yourself. I'm in a great mood here lately and I demand you be as well. Prepare for a little pile of happy songs over the next little while, probably. (Unrelated sidenote I'll soon pick up on: The New Tokyo Police Club picks up around track number 4 and is, in fact, quite good)... MORE

ive watched the talking heads dvd 'stop making sense' probablalbalably 5 times in the past week. its just that good. with an ever-growing stage and energetic david byrne, the concert delivers hit after hit like some lunatic tai boxer. however, since it was filmed in 1984, no 'road to nowhere'... insert sad face here. but i cant complain. as by watching this, i realized that live versions of songs can in fact sound better than studio recorded. the show starts with a solo byrne...

Talking Heads. One of the few things in life that still has the ability to help keep my spirits soaring on the loneliest day of the year. I suppose if I were to say I was in love with anybody at the moment, it would be David Byrne...

Lyrics By Talking Heads, "And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory Shes making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbors house Now shes starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was And she was drifting through the backy...

David Byrne's Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists — and Megastars

Once, the Talking Heads made a movie. Not Stop Making Sense, the other one. The film. It was called True Stories, and took place in a very small Texas town rapidly being developed by businesses and commerce. David Byrne and John Goodman play the leading roles; Goodman is a man who wants to find love, and David Byrne is a stranger in town, and also, everyone seems to know him. He tells us about the different kinds of highway drivers, and shares many different importan... MORE
