Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings And Food

So recently I've noticed a fair number of blogs trying to kick up a Talking Heads revival. Most notably An Aquarium Drunkard and You Ain't No Picasso. All I can say is, mad props to you fellas. If ever there was a band that deserved to be saved from any level of obscurity, it's Heads. When you're going through that age of bands that popped up after the punk revolution was starting to die down, those bands that took the spirit of the original punk bands but added a much stronger level of intelligence and musicianship without loosing the humor and desire to really shake things up, you tend to hear Joy Division name checked, maybe The Fall, Suicide and a barrage of other very relevant and very decent bands. But where's Talking Heads, man? That overly anxious set of misfits. Writing songs about their incredible paranoia and fear of everything around them. Giving off that understanding that anxiety is everywhere and as long as you're alive, you're probably feeling it. Byrne's awkward vocals that just scream "don't give this man any more coffee". Just look at the album title "more songs about food and buildings". They even managed to make their album title seem like it was hiding an incredible amount of pent up angst.

Well here it is kids, I'm using whatever little power this blog commands to tell the kids that might not be so familiar with anything before their time to get in to some Talking Heads. Get the back catalogue and feel the anxiety.
