Lots of memories associated with this, and indeed, the whole album.

Funny, I recognize the talent.  This band is tight.  Really tight.  The music is original and bold.

 

But I just can't get into it.  waz wrong with me? No matter, am happier than a clam RP plays plenty of TKs.

Was a huge Heads fan back in the day. Loved lyrics like "when I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed" and "why are you so in love with your problems? It's not cool to have so many problems"

But now, I dunno - my energy is different, and what used to move me is more close to the edge of irritating.

Still love the lyrics though.  
 
Their best lyrics are still the best. 

Still waiting . . .

Facts are useful in an emergency . . . .

Facts just twist the truth around . . .

Can't think of anything more relevant in these days of "their" facts vs. "our" facts.

This song is only 40 minutes too short. Why would the Heads peter out like that? The bright side for anyone needing the sheet music for this...they really only need two measures worth of paper. Geeez. By the way...I love the PSD button right now.

This has to be one of the worst songs ever written. I absolutely can't stand David Byrne's voice. BARFO.... I LOVE RP except when the horrid voice comes on. Thank apple for the "skip to the next radio station" button on my keyboard, or I'd go insane.

The Great Curve is another amazing Head's tune.  I'm surprised it's not on the RP list.
 

Yes indeed!

The Adrian Belew breaks at 1:57 and 5:31 in The Great Curve are some of the most inspired guitar noise ever recorded.

I don't understand the connection between the TH song and this pic, but I like both.  I visited Cummings' website, and he's got some really gorgeous (and some really weird) pictures.  Worth a look...
 
I suspect it may be because the points of light in the photo make your eye attempt to go towards both the sun and the highlighted wall graphic — which mine can't do simultaneously — but it WAS painless....
