Talking Heads – Fear of Music

There are not many albums I regret trading or giving away. Yet this is one of them. I was too young to appreciate my $8 copy I originally had and gave it to a friend. Many years later here I am re-buying it - a repress. Not for $8.

I picked this up as I’m on my Talking Heads / David Byrne rabbit hole and I couldn’t stop thinking about how good Life During Wartime sounded live. Re listening to this, I can appreciate now that David was taking the band on a journey of varied sound with Eno, and I was just not there yet in my late teens.

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food

I'm a bit behind on posts with all the holiday festivities. 

Talking Heads are one of the few bands from my early punk / new wave collecting that I still listen to and hear something new with each listen. Not that I don't like the other stuff. I just thrashed it to death when I was younger. 

I have half of my Talking Heads collection on cd. I attempted to go pick up some more second-hand albums recently but they are now too popular, often not sitting in shops for very long and with a hefty tag. It must if been a Talking Heads Christmas this year cos there was nothing to be found.

Not usually a fan of live albums but this one is an exception.

I love this album. It's one of my favourite Talking Heads albums.

Purchased for $12 at Porthole records when I was around 17 or 18. I always sing A Clean Break (Let's Work) really loud. Soz neighbours.

I'm currently teaching myself to play bass (again, sorry neighbours). I am definitely no Tina Weymouth. Give me 6 months and I might be able to crack a Talking Heads track...
