Can't get THE BOOK I READ off my head all month. Posted by Dave Teves on Thursday, 10/31/2019 @ 08:19am |
Just noticed a typo on the list of songs performed by The Heads at their induction. The song name is 'Life During Wartime', not 'Live' Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 10/31/2019 @ 08:39am |
I would like to extend my best wishes to Tina Weymouth on the 69th anniversary of her birth. Tina, Thank you for all of the great songs you have co-written over the years and your exemplary work with Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club. I hope that you had a fantastic birthday!

Talking Heads just entered social media by making an Instagram account and fans are speculating of a potential reunion. Posted by John R.C. on Wednesday, 12/11/2019 @ 17:42pm |
I'll believe it when I see it. Would be absolutely awesome if it happened. I know Tina & her husband have wanted to get the band back together for years. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 12/12/2019 @ 07:38am |
Talking Heads is one of those groups which I had discovered on my own. I had first discovered the music of Talking Heads about four years after I had been introduced to the music of King Crimson via their album "Discipline." Although I had heard "Discipline," King Crimson had never really connected with me until I had purchased "The Compact King Crimson" at The Wave in Roppongi district, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. Of course, I had listened to The Compact King Crimson constantly on cassette and then on cd and then just before I had returned to the United States, I had purchased "In The Court Of The Crimson King," "Discipline," "Beat" and "Three Of A Different Pair" on compact disc. I had still brought "The Compact King Crimson" with me on my many excursions into San Francisco, California on the weekends. I would eventually purchase "A Young Person's Guide To King Crimson" on cassette and listen to it constantly for the following two years. Although, I had heard 'Burning Down The House,' I would not start listening to Talking Heads heavily until about a year prior to my E.A.O.S. from the U.S. Navy in September, 1988. My first Talking Heads purchases had been: "Fear Of Music," "Remain In Light" and "Speaking In Tongues" which I had purchased from Tower Records in Berkeley, California on compact disc.

I have been a fan of the bigger songs of the Talking Heads for years but I never had the chance to listen to their albums for a variety of reasons. Thanks to YouTube Music I was able to start at the beginning and listen to everything. The first morning I listened to '77 all the way through Little Creatures in one sitting. I couldn't move. Well, my body was moving to the music but I couldn't shut it off. I couldn't believe I'd missed out on so much great music for so long. Later that night I listened to the rest of their stuff. Incredible. Underrated is a word one could use but it goes deep than that. Everyone should hear that first album at least once. For my money it's one of the very best debut albums I've ever heard. And it only gets better from there. I'm in the minority but I'm glad they never did the reunion gimmick. It makes their albums mean more and adds real weight to the work they accomplished as a group. Nothing can diminish their work. There is nothing, NOTHING, like the Talking Heads. Posted by Lemmy on Thursday, 11/12/2020 @ 04:02am |
I would like to extend best wishes for a very a Happy Birthday to Tina Weymouth. Have a fantastic day, Tina and thank you for all of the great songs which you have co-written during the past several decades. Maybe someday, the Tom Tom Club will eventually receive a Rock Hall nomination. Posted by Enigmaticus on Sunday, 11/22/2020 @ 07:35am |
The group for people who think they're smarter than everyone else. An impenetrable gimmick band with no heart. Posted by David Burn on Monday, 12/20/2021 @ 03:07am |
They were inducted a year before elligible. If I'm wrong, why was Springsteen not elligible to be inducted in '98 (and you know they wouldn't have delayed him a year)? The rules I've read say the artist's first record must be released 25 years prior to the year of nomination. Even counting their first single as their first record, that would mean their first elligible year of nomination woiuld be 2002, with induction in 2003.
