I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve seen Stop Making Sense. It was the Friday midnight movie for 2 yrs at a local hip theatre in my early college years when I was trying “hip” on for size. It didn’t fit. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories of an amazing documentary concert.

Since it’s just not a Whatever thread without pedantry, it’s _The Name of This Band is Talking Heads_. No definite article.

God Bless America.

I couldn’t tell you my favourite Talking Heads song, although this one is always in the running.
I’m lucky enough to have made it to see David Byrne when he played New Zealand in February. Fantastic show. The man is still an incredible musician.

I still remember exactly where that song cuts off on my first tape of Speaking in Tongues.

My favorite Talking Heads changes with the weather. Sometimes Heaven. Sometimes Take Me to the River (from The Name of This Band is the Talking Heads live album. Much more power than the Stop Making Sense one)

But here’s a really well recorded version of Pulled Up, from ‘77. It’s from their early, raw period, and I like the energy.

Wow, I hadn’t thought about Talking Heads in ages. Thanks for the trip back to a wonderful group. Byrne is still my favorite F/X. Thinking back to the “Big Suit”

how can you have a fav TH song? The one I’m listening to at the time is my fav. Saw David at a SXSW show and got him to sign a pic I tore out of an old Rolling Stone. Nice guy, bad hand writing.

Funny – that’s MY favorite Talking Heads song too :-)

Just saw David Byrne 2 weeks ago when he was here in Charlottesville. Great show!

Yesterday morning, I received two cordial apologies and a fruit basket from people who had insulted me professionally in a meeting the day before. It was at an event planning meeting with the local branch of a national charity. I let them know privately at the end of the meeting how appalled I was at their unprofessional behavior, and how others were displeased, as well.

I still believe in their mission, which is why I’m not trashing them *here*, and they stated it really opened their eyes to how they take volunteers at all levels for granted. If they do it again, they won’t get my time OR money anymore.

I am still partial to the live version of Psycho Killer.
