This song is worth it just for the hollering at the end: "HAH!! HAH!!" Love that.

This came up in response to hitting the PSD button, and seems ideal as I sit at my desk working on this dull grey monday morning.

Doesn't hold up too well these days. Used to kind of like this tune years ago...nowadays I feel as if the ending is still the best part of the song.

However, gave it a 6, since I know I am in the minority and probably should get them....BUT I DON'T!!! Don't be shy! I gave it a 4. I admire the chutzpah of a guy making a success of such a hideous voice, and I really like the group's rhythms, but Talking Heads snapped up fresh new shelf space at a time when the listening public was stampeding in horror away from Barry Manilow. Who could NOT sound good after THAT! |

One of my favorite T Heads songs. Listened to this incessantly while my first marriage was falling apart - I'm not kidding.  Much happier now and I still love this song. |

 Road to nowhere by tiredofkimhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/tiredofkim/Souvenir Foto assignment No. 7: Forced perspective & Faux tilt shift I was out in Folsom briefly on Sunday to take my cats to the vet, and since it's not far from nowhere, I drove around looking for a shot that I could faux tilt shit and this seemed to fit the bill. I had fun with the program, and would like to play around with it a lttle more. I think it'll open my eyes to photo opportunities I may not have noticed otherwise. I haven't been feeling too great this week, so I haven't had a chance to get out to take any other photos. I'm really hoping to be able to capture a forced perspective shot today before the deadline, but even if I don't, my interest in forced perspective has been piqued enough that I'll be doing one very soon, even if it can't be for the group. :)  All rights reserved |

When I was young I had a 90 minute cassette with Talking Heads Litlle Creatures on one side and Ganggajang's self titled first album on the other. I had to make a 3rd copy because I destroyed the first 2 by overplaying in my cheap knock off walkman.

Grab a DVD of the movie Stop Making Sense and watch it on a set equipped with good sound. Then you will know the Talking Heads.

Okay, I admit, I'm a big Talking Heads junkie. Can't get enough. But I can stop whenever I want. I just don't want to.

Maybe this is a tad overplayed. It's still good enough, just not as much of a pleasant surprise as some other RP choices.

I was in Jr. High when my brother brought this album home. It was accepted that it was the Latest Album by a Very Great Band that has done Many Other Things that I hadn't heard of yet but Should. I Did. and I'm Glad. |
