[mugglemoomoo]

such a great song

[NYGator1991]

Old conversation, but Check Fanfarlo also. Lots of characteristics, but not unoriginal either.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

so how's that book coming along, stweie griffin?

[levertrevel]

what a fuckin' band

[chit599]

[bbop100]

[biolog100]

sadler/byrne.......?!!

[ncbloom]

i've heard alot of recorded live versions of this and i've decided its my favorite talking heads tune. its simply amazing. try and find the berkeley version if you can.

[dutchessofsuffix]

AHHH I Love this!

[rhellman]

I hate to be such an old fogy, but is there anything with this level of creativity being produced in rock or pop today? If so, I'd like to know about it, cause I'm not aware of anything close.

[psirou]

Animal Collective.

[ClueSign]

@rhellman Well, there's lots...don't be an old fogy. Go on Pandora, create a Talking Heads station, and see what they give you.

[bearealman]

@rhellman I agree w ClueSign that there's lots. But they're not T Heads clones (thankfully). A brand new album by new band Local Natives makes me very happy - maybe it IS relevant they cover T Heads' Warning Sign? This month I've also been thrilled by Tune-yards (kinda dissonant), Passion Pit, & Galactic. Highlights of the decade?: 4 Michael Franti albums rocked my world. Bob Mould's "Modulate" and Sleater Kinney's The Woods are underappreciated masterpieces. & I saw T Heads play CBGB in 76.

[bearealman]

@rhellman Write for more. I love connecting w folks musically to help prevent old-fogey-itis.

[TheSpentPenny123]

@rhellman While I haven't visited these guys in a while, people have compared Clap your Hands and Say Yeah! to the Talking Heads, I prefer the Talking Heads, but they're decent. As far as creative, sort of quirky rock I'm also a fan of Menomena,

[misfitfilmz]

TOO GOOD!

[therealsoulproduct]

Well then it's a shame that this sound isn't moving forward then. I guess it's up to younger generations of musicians (like myself) to keep the punk/funk alive.

[dirtbag1713]

the live version on TNOTBITH fucking jaaaaams

[zigCARNIVOROUS]

In my opinion

it's a privelige

to be privy to

whatever is Mr. Byrne's whim--

tell me, handsome, go ahead na na na naaaa

spinning around but I feel alright oh

[BEARSY79]

not being produced anymore because Mr. Byrne doesnt want to...

[darintaylor79]

I think this song and this concert in particular continues the lineage of awesome music. they were so funky

[therealsoulproduct]

Talking Heads were funky as hell, and this is one of the songs that proved it. Why isn't art school-damaged Punk/Funk like this being produced anymore?

[darlantro]

awesome, reminds me of Joy Division's track N4

[foppa123]

the 77 version is hypnotic, with a great chorus.

[ca19al10]

You're the book I read.

The book I read was in your eyes...

Genio Byrne!

[juanmanuelvarela]
