This is what I came in to say. And now I feel like dancing on top of my desk.

FTFA: ...making the building function as an instrument

How do I work this?

And you may ask yourself, what is that music coming from the Great Hall of the Battery Maritime Building?

And you may tell yourself, why it's a bunch of drunken swabbies and fair young maidens singing "Barnacle Bill the sailor".

He did this in England a few years back.

I'd like to see him collaborate with Gordon Lightfoot on this one.

That's the building where I took my Third Mate exam from the Coast Guard.
/Back when the Talking Heads were still making record albums.

Glad I wasn't the only person that though "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on first glance of the headline.

how did i get here?

they say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time

This is why first impressions are often correct.

David Byrne is a douche.

I've got a big-ass poster for that album up on a wall in my house -- one of the benefits from working in record stores in the late 70's.

Can't say I can disagree with some of the comments re: Byrne. I recently watched Stopped Making Sense again for the first time in years, and it was notable even then how things had taken a turn towards "David Byrne and musicians" and away from Talking Heads, the band. Most of the solo stuff I've heard by him has seemed a bit precious to me.

Saying that, I will admit that I am very interested to hear that he's working with Brian Eno again, and the prospect of them touring together (as has been rumored) has me quite whipped up indeed.

Go away David

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Byrne for Luaka Bop.

Happy early birthday, Mr. Byrne!
May 14--like me!

DAD ... GO TAKE YOUR MEDS ... NOW !

"More Songs about Buildings and Food" is 5x better than "77".

/discuss
/that is all.

The blame for '77's semi-sucktitude lays ENTIRELY on the production. Toni Bongiovi totally didn't understand the minimalism that was the Heads' sound. Eno got it.

Track down the CBS demos. It's Talking Heads as a trio, no bullshiat production, and doing the songs from "77". It's amazing.
