One of the most progressive tunes I've heard from David Byrne. Reminds me of a cross between Peter Gabriel and King Crimson. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Hey cool, I like this. Haven't followed David Byrne after his last album with Eno, which I found rather underwhelming. |

| The song is from the T Heads album "Fear of Music". Fripp played on the original version. |

I think that tune actually inspired King Crimson & Gabriel’s 80s direction. Fear of Music came out in 1979. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Not bad at all. Quite entertaining.

Inspired by some (purportedly meaningless) Dadaist poetry apparently -------------

I don't know what it is, but I just don't like David Byrne/Talking Heads very much. It just radiates smugness or something like that - and I'm not feeling it. I enjoy tons of stuff that he is obviously inspired by and even bands and artists that he has inspired. -------------

Always appreciated Byrne for including Fripp and Eno on Fear of Music's I Zimbra, a precursor to Discipline. And there were a couple of really good singles he came up with while still with the 'Heads (can't recall their names) that I don't think ever made it onto CD. A true deep thinker, and thanks for bringing him up. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
