  1. Talking Heads, A Bar Called Heaven, 2024 on Dear Boss.

    Another in a series of Dear Boss. releases (the period is part of their name) which claim to be FM broadcasts and therefore out of copyright in the EU. This one is Talking Heads from December 7th, 1979, at the Electric Ballroom in London (Camden Town). Excellent recording either way - I've become a big fan of what Dear Boss is putting out. My copy via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA.

  3. Talking Heads, Speaking in Tongues, 1983 on Sire

    This was the fifth Talking Heads LP, produced by Talking Heads themselves rather than Brian Eno. It was the tour for this album which became Stop Making Sense, including their only US top 10 hit “Burning Down The House.”

    What a killer album. In addition to “Burning Down The House” you’ve got “Making Flippy Floppy,” “Girlfriend is Better,” “Slipper People,” and “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody).” The band is joined by Steve Scales, Bernie Worrell, Nona Hendry and Dolette McDonald, Alex Weir, Wally Badarou, Raphael Dejeesus and others.

    My copy is a 2013 Rhino reissue – it is difficult to find original pressings of Talking Heads LPs in the wild that are reasonable and in good shape. But I think this reissue series is great in terms of consistency and quality – not necessarily advertised as “audiophile” but sounds great to me.

    Via Slipped Disc at a Mill No. 5 record fair.

  4. Talking Heads on the unifying pull of 'Stop Making Sense'

    "Why has it been a long time?"
    "-Lives diverge."

    "[T]here was something so special about the way we made music together; I've never found the same exact thing."

    "[W]e really do appreciate how special our relationship musically was. I mean, you're trying to talk about conflicts, but conflicts are just human."
