Holy Crap, I never thought I'd hear this song short of my dragging out the CD and playing it myself. Great 'out of the blue' track, Bill.

This tune rocks, and the album is a concept album of epic proportions. I mean, Cherokee Chief -- about that drug lord in Nicaragua, I believe, who was finally taken out (not long after the record came out) by a blast directed downward from the vulnerable roof of the thing. And Bobby Don't Do It -- I've known a few folks who have flipped the big switch, and it hits home hard. We're Always Talking, wow... Been through a divorce? It all takes years to sink in. As does the import behind the photo. Indeed! I once dated an emerald broker from Columbia who said, "You don't want to know how many people die to get just one of these things into the hands of someone who has no idea nor care in the world." If one didn't conceive of a bigger picture, one might imagine this a world ruled by Casual Gods!

Very interesting. That operation was also depicted in the opening sequence of Powaqqatsi , but I never knew the story behind it.

I loved The Red and the Black, and really appreciated this tape at the time. The Red and the Black sounds pretty dated now, but I still enjoy it. And I replaced my Casual Gods tape with the CD when I found it used. Still a good CD overall. Rev it up, Man with a gun, Let it come down come to mind as good tracks.

...fine song, but the sound quality is pretty dismal -- it is all "swimmy" and coarse sounding...can anybody oblige us with a good 320kbps rip, please?

cool stuff from Ex-talking head. Still IMHO his first solo release "The Red and the Black" is his best...damn hard to find on CD though

Learn something new every day, especially if listening here. Didn't realize from whence this tune came -- it was just in the soundtrack memory cells upstairs as a familiar tune! Thanks RP and RP listeners for the education.

This one sound like it's been re-encoded from 24 kbps to 192 kbps or something. No high frequencies whatsoever!

He's a nice guy. Met him right after he was done producing that first Live record. This record was interesting when it came out. Couple of fun tracks. It ain't quite Talking Heads quality - but fun.

Wow, haven't heard this in...well. A long time. I remember it being a moderate radio "hit" for awhile when the album came out. I always enjoyed hearing it, so bought the album (figured I liked the Tom Tom Club stuff so it was only fair!). Ultimately,didn't feel the rest of the album was up to this cut.

Traded it in, eventually, for something or other. Still. It's nice to hear this nice little pop confection again! :D

I said below it was "very good" but of course I only have it on vinyl... so haven't heard it in years. I recall a few songs with meaty hooks like this one and the rest not so poppy but I liked it back in the day...

Casual Gods has an amazing album cover, showing a massive number of impoverished people in a mining operation.

Jerry Harrison's business card that he made when the Heads started wobbling apart. Proof that it wasn't all Byrne and Eno? Yes. A very good album.
