I have this big (and I mean big) yellow book by Byrne called 'Your Action World: Winners are Losers with a New Attitude'. It's got really big pictures with off the wall quotes and it's hilarious - it's like a parody of many things. I found this quote from it online:
"to stem the tide of images and bullying texts that assault all of us, by building dikes and dams of my own images and texts. To understand the enemy I must become one with the enemy, I must be of one mind with the enemy. I must infect myself in order to be immunized."

Pretty much all of the Talking Heads albums are classic (with the exception of a few latter day ones), but Stop Making Sense is about as close as you can get to a greatest hits.

In general I hate Chris Franz's drumming, but I love his enthusiasm and everything else about the Heads.
If you like this record or the Heads in general, pick up "Remain In Light", it's generally considered to be their greatest album. It's my favorite, anyway, by a rather large margin. |

You guys should also check out the dvd Live at Union Chapel. There's come cool arrangements and he's got a really tight band (of course) with a good mix of old and new stuff - I think he sings one song in Italian.
Didn't Byrne have George Porter, Jr. on a weird 90's album/tour?
I wish I could find video footage of a Sessions @ West 54th Street he did. It was great - he changed costumes like every song and was generally freaking out.

The other musicians are OK for the most part, but Tina Weymouth did nothing to convince me she's anything other than the total waste of space I thought her to be the very first time I saw her (on "Old Grey Whistle Test" on the Beeb in the 1970's). I thought the "Big Suit" was cool…
