Talking Heads - Burning Down The House

Band: Talking Heads
Song: Burning Down The House
Album: Speaking In Tongues (1983)
Genre: New Wave

I feel like I told this story before, but it's a really good one, so I'll tell it again.

I once had a dream that I was helping David Byrne of Talking Heads make an art film.  We were in a gigantic warehouse that was painted flat gray.  There were large geometric shapes (pyramids, cubes, spheres, etc.) everywhere, but there were minimal shadows.  I don't know anything about what the movie was suppose to be, outside of the fact that my job was to get Eminem to recite free verse poetry in the middle of the room.

Eminem either didn't want to do this or wasn't doing it right, so for the rest of the dream I had to try and convince him to do what David wanted him to.  It was honestly really stressful, I wasn't a fan.

So yeah, hope you like this song and the fun story about my dream.

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

Band:  Talking Heads
Genre:  Rock

A hella long time back (like a month or so) I was planning on posting this song.  Ended up not cause I posted Psycho Killer instead, so here's this one.  I don't listen to these guys for the most part because they're an older band and, not that I have anything against older music, but generally I listen to newer things to try and keep up with what's happening.  It's not the best thing, but it's something I'll work on.

Among many other reveals you'll learn that there is water at the bottom of the ocean.  It's basically the biggest revelation since ever.

Gonna mention it again (and probably for at least a week), got a totally nifty Patreon for you to check out, it's gonna be great.

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

Band:  Talking Heads
Genre:  New Wave

Originally I was going to post this because I was watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia for the last 3 weeks straight and this song turned up somewhere in the middle on me, but then I had an even better reason to.

So I've been really sick for the last week.  Not sure what it was, I just know it wasn't the flu.  But I had a fever to go with it and that's the important part of this story.  Fever dreams.

I had this dream that David Byrne (Talking Heads frontman, 2nd from the left in the picture) was making an art film with Eminem (not pictured).  Eminem was reciting free verse poetry in a gigantic warehouse that was painted flat gray, and David was having none of it.  No matter what Eminem did it was never quite what he was looking for.  Long story short they argued for a while and I got crushed under 4 gigantic stone spheres.  Fever dreams, amirite?

But yeah, good song, good band.  I'll link to a live show next time, you'll love the stage show these guys put on.
