I've decided that April will be my 'getting to know Talking Heads a bit better' month. I've always approvingly admired their 'hits' and honestly was quite happy to leave it at that but a David Byrne solo album here and a cover of Memories Can't Wait (AND a working out of Wild, Wild Life on gtr for the kids) there, got me feeling regret for not pulling my finger out of my arse sooner and sticking up the nasal cavities of the Heads earlier shtuff. Pissypants got me listening to 'Fear Of Music' which I didn't overexplore but enjoyed and I felt I'd scratched an itch.
But recently I got More Songs About B&F and I can't stop playing it. I imagine it's what XTC were trying for but has a sounder foundation. It's 3fucking3 years old and is, to my ears, brilliant.
What album would Heads heads recommend next? Just move discographically backwards to 77? Does any album top the wirey, whitefunk, impulsiveness of B&F?
