This ain’t no party

Because I like doing ridiculous things with absolutely no point to them (except maybe self-torture, by the end), I’ve taken a dare from my roommate to listen to the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense once a day until I can’t do it anymore. It’s been four days so far. With most other albums I’d already be sick of the whole adventure, but this one’s holding up spectacularly. It helps that it’s only 9 songs long* and one of the best live recordings ever.
Continuing on that theme, here’s the video of “Life During Wartime” from Stop Making Sense. David Byrne is one of the most awesome people on this planet.
* I’m listening to the LP version, which is five songs on one side and four on the other. There’s a few different releases, and one of the CD versions has sixteen songs on it .. but I’m just sticking with the recording I had on when this whole thing started.

Dear Dewj,
There’s a super awesome collection of Talking Heads live in Rome on the youtube, with Adrian Belew on guitar, after Remain in Light came out. It’s totally batshit crazy awesome.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a tendency to do that sort of thing (even without the formal challenge). Death to the Pixies is a long-lasting daily player as well!

Wow. I pretty much disagree with everything you write, taste wise. Impressive, actually. I find your taste in music incredibly banal. Yawn.
