Talking Heads - I Zimbra

kiks

This is very strange. It doesn't look as if the music is synchronised with the visuals. I don't mean it's slightly out of synch. I mean it looks like they're playing a completely different song. None of the movement or dancing is in time with the music, the hand movements of the guitarists don't correspond with the music and most of all the close of the vocalists don't correspond at all the lyrics we hear. Maybe it's just me, but this looks really wrong.

Yeah, that happens sometimes when uploading clips.

there's so many people i want on that stage. B\

tina looks different for some reason.

Great live vid~!

Thermonuclear cool song. Even better in 'stop making sense'. This is really the best combo of punk/pop/world music. So cool. Precursor to bhangra which followed 20 years later.
But try getting folks in rural wisconsin in the 70's and 80's to listen to this.
Probably gave them a mental hernia.

It will always kill me that I never got to see this line-up live. I doubt there was a better live band in the world at this point.

And I agree that new 'indie' bands could learn from these guys.

The only band I've seen of late that even has the potential of getting this funky is the Dirty Projectors. Those kids can PLAY. And Byrne has already given them his blessing. See them live. Seriously.

i like how belew's mic is off, but he's so intensely into singing the nonsense lyrics... haha.

hugo ball had made his dada mark with these talking heads.
