  1. Whew! That was really great!

    If you're a #StopMakingSense fan, that's a must see!

    Excellent high-energy "Life During Wartime" rendition, and "Nothing But Flowers" is from a little later in his repertoire but was really good too.

  2. The new #TalkingHeads tribute album is great, and has the clever conceit of reproducing, in order, the complete playlist from the #StopMakingSense concert film. About half the tracks are wonderful but the real banger is the #LindaLindas’ cover of “Found A Job.”

  3. #music question: Do the original film reels from which #StopMakingSense was edited still exist in a vault somewhere? Could someone re-edit a movie that gives more equal time to the other seven incredibly competent musicians on that stage and isn't just The David Byrne show? How #JerryHarrison, #ChrisFranz, and #TinaWeymouth put up with him for three more albums is beyond me.

  4. 1987 #GuidedByVoices LP "Devil Between my Toes," instantly more challenging than their first EP copying REM. experimental tracks that don't have true endings (everything fades out), several pure instrumentals like post-pistols #music ("Crux") and a 5 minute #DoomGloom goth epic with vocals bordering on spoken poetry / chanting ("A Portrait Destroyed By Fire")

    this is where GbV deliberately #StopMakingSense hopefully refining this creativity later on

  5. 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."
