| ArbiterOfGoodTaste (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Jan 18, 2010 - 16:03 This album was defining for my summer of 2001. Great disc end-to-end, regardless of what the folks below say. | |||||||||||||||

Well, at the end of the day, it is his station. If RP just went by listener ratings, software could generate the playlist, we'd be listening to whiny high pitched pop singers 24/7 and Bill would be in a line up somewhere for free soup. I'm good with Bill making up the playlist. In general, I really like what hear on RP and I like the themes he comes up with. | |||||||||||||||

The issue here isn't the lyrics, it's the fact that the tune is just plain unlistenable. "Lighten up Francis" is almost 30 years old and has been beaten into the ground here. You should try something from this millenium. So there. this from ina gada da vida baby?-talk about millennium! | |||||||||||||||

| maxymooner | Posted: Nov 02, 2008 - 18:28 The amazing thing is how well his stuff holds up. It's only a song. Interesting to see the package on the original CD, clearly DB influenced; the stripes move over his face in the strangest way. Did anyone see the installation he made creating an instrument of an entire empty warehouse, controlled by pipe organ? Each key produced random creaks and groans. | |||||||||||||||
| That_SOB (The Dark Side of the Tune) | Posted: Oct 02, 2008 - 03:52 DB wrote a tune on this album by de name oh — "Like Humans Do"— good stuff Louie. DB's music is an island in a sea of Sh*t ... | |||||||||||||||

...which is why a lot of people don't like DB, 'cause they are not smart enough to "get" him. Egg - ZACT -LEE! - - -DB's belong to the church of eclecticism.... pushing per-ception not de-ception ! 1. U.B. Jesus Sunrise, I'm still dancing Girlfriend, she's my champion Swing low, pull me over Hey - be my savior Blood, Skin Show me the book Don't understand the language that they spoke Don't pity me Have pity on yourself You might know Jesus but you'll all join in hell Shine On Sister! Don't need a book to put your hand in the fire Shine On Sister! Come on in cause it's cold outside Kiss Me! Kiss Me! I can tell your name by the markings on your face U. B. Jesus Makin' my way & I'm lovin' my life Kiss Me! Kiss Me! Swing so crazy like the way you ride Maybe I'm gonna fry in hell But I feel good when I burn myself In a smokey place, In my girlfriends car Threw out the map when we drove to far Jesus is big Jesus is strong Jesus'll kill you if you don't get along Jesus can swing Jesus has skills Go on & try it if you don't believe he will Jump Back, Jump Back Givin' me a heart attack Fall down, Fall down Sweeter than a cherry bomb Sweet Thing, Sweet Thing Steppin' on your violin Space Boy, Fly Girl Living in the underworld Shine On Sister! Don't need a book to put your hand in the fire Shine On Sister! Come on in cause it's cold outside Jesus is cool Jesus is scared Baby you are the only car I drive Foolin around Foolin myself Baby you are the only car I drive Easy to touch Easy to find Baby you are the only car I drive Melts in my mouth Melts in the hand Baby you are the only car I drive Outta my skin Outta my life Baby you are the only car I drive They only car I drive | |||||||||||||||

take a gander at the lyrics - i don't believe el byrno is promoting religion  | |||||||||||||||

| InnerNinja | Posted: Feb 24, 2008 - 11:09 this is bad. enough with the jesus songs. let's play music for music's sake. no freaking agendas please. or else you'll have to deal with my ninja octopus. just my opinion of course. maybe we could play some hindu stuff, throw in a little iranian classical music. seriously. | |||||||||||||||
| jpfueler (South o' Ft Worth) | Posted: Dec 23, 2007 - 17:06 via Insty I found this quote from David: ADVICE TO MUSICIANS FROM DAVID BYRNE: "What is called the music business today, however, is not the business of producing music. At some point it became the business of selling CDs in plastic cases, and that business will soon be over. But that's not bad news for music, and it's certainly not bad news for musicians." | |||||||||||||||

| Stultiloquent (Toronto) | Posted: Sep 21, 2005 - 20:31 I really enjoy the sound of this song. Catchy. As for Neil Young references, there may be a *very* slight similarity in voice... but not so much. And as for Neil Young as being 'bad'? Personally I used to dislike him, but he's grown on me as I've grown older. Peace | |||||||||||||||
| Hannio (Austin, TX) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 07:31 This song only reinforces my opinion that Byrne is full of himself. | |||||||||||||||
