"To me, everything about the Talking Heads that isn't vocal or lyrical is a little nondescript, only reaching the recognizable status because of their success. All of them are irreplaceable, of course, because of the expertly executed grooves they could stick with for minutes on end. The innovation, then, rests on the vocalist, so what are we left with? David Byrne: professional art-weirdo. Apart from his distinguished singing voice, Byrne riddles his songs with excellent emotion. What emotion that is, I have no idea.

Fear of Music shows quite the opposite. Each track is bravely approached as an impregnable vessel for whatever Byrne's weird messages are, all the while compelling the head to nod to the standard 4/4 drum beats. The most affable songs are mainly on the first side, songs during which you can allow yourself to sit back and relax: the weirdness of Byrne has not yet begun. "I Zimbra" is a great opening track, with a great percussive engine about it. Another one of their big ones, "Cities," adds a dark shell to the concept of surrounding yourself in a city, and expecting its atmosphere to affect you.

Perhaps the title Fear of Music pertains to how the average listener would react to more than half these tunes. Things like "Mind," and everything after "Memories Can't Wait," with the exception of the straightforward, almost boring "Heaven." Byrne all but screams his head off in "Animals," and all but scares my pants off with "Drugs." It is produced by Eno, after all. Another professional art-weirdo. What you get in the end is an album that is, in its own way, experimental, when you take away what the non-singing members of the band do.

My faves: "I Zimbra," "Life During Wartime," "Memories Can't Wait," "Drugs" ('cause it's creepy and sonically diaphanous)" - Strawhenge

white house commission september attacks
only a minority of the commission can see a limited amount of the classified documents and then they have to clear it with the white house before hand. absurd.
there should be 100% transparency.

I got into Talking Heads at the age of 12 when i heard "once in a lifetime" but didn't listen to "remain in light" until a year later because i couldn't afford it, but there was Talking Heads 1st album '77 for sale at half price. So I bought that one instead. Initially I was dissapointed because I wanted to hear "remain in light", but it grew on me and I was hooked on Talking Heads. David byrne is a bit of a genius and he writes some of the best bridges in music.


The extra music you hear at the start and end is Frank Zappa.
I was hooked when i heard "them or us" and "sheik yerbouti" and ended up buying everything he released.

"Roland's Big Event/Strat Vindaloo" is the 1st track at the start and "Amnerika Goes Home" is the last piece.



"Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love."
