Which one to reply to? ;)

Just a clarification to make sure as many people as possible pick up this CD. It was in the Stop Making Sense movie, it wasn't included on the first Stop Making Sense tapes and LPs, and it was included on the reissued Stop Making Sense CDs made in 1999.

It's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to. I'll give it a 9, Dick. ;)

Follishly,
I didn't like this when it first got released.
(Still too much of a punk, back then.)

Now'
Great LP; Great Tune!

Ah yes - the influence of Brian Eno on another great RP track . Given current events, perhaps you could play "Life During Wartime" :(

Remain in Light is definitely a DID - Desert Island Disc. You could hear the Heads building up to it on Fear of Music, another excellent DID (and also produced by Brian Eno).

As a lot of your listeners I too feel this is some of the T Heads best work, what a GREAT GREAT lp.

Heehee. That'd be a sexy album, eh?
By the way, does anybody think of Anthony Perkins in "Psycho" when they think of David Byrne? I know I do, but I've never heard anybody else say it.

Incredible stuff! Remember hanging out in a friends basement and listening to this new underground stuff. Coudn't get tired of the old TH stuff. Anything off of "Remain in Light," "Fear of Flying," etc. is okay by me!

My favorite TH album. David Byrne has developed into a decent guitar player, though Adrian Belew is credited with playing lead on this album

This song is from a great album (Remain In Light) that was sandwiched in between much more popular albums, so it (song + album) never got the exposure it deserved.

Thanks for the laugh.

Love the energy in this tune. However, it could get me in trouble while driving (speedwise that is).
