We've both said this before, but our tastes are eerily similar. In this case, the Talking Heads were the band that starting the "branching out" of my musical tastes. What a breath of fresh air the entire CBGB scene was.
More on your recent album picks later, when I get the chance.

Anyway, back to the album. One thing I recommend is that you should list the songs that resonate with you, and the reason(s) why. If you can come up with kooky stories, all the better. Anyway, that's what I plan to do (or something similar) when I start posting about music, for what it's worth.

So I just looked up the song list myself, and the one that jumped out at me was "Psycho Killer". Which is IMHO one of their most innovative songs; a bold statement for this very creative band. I love to play drums to it, BTW. And the "Stop Making Sense" live version with just David Byrne and a boom box is great.

Good memories. And still a favorite today. They're timeless.

It's funny, when I am not sitting in front of my keyboard and I am thinking about my blog, I come up with some great ideas and writings in my mind for blogs. When I sit down I go blank..nothing comes out the way I thought it would..and also I am sure the world or at least the few who happen upon my blog would be bored silly with my little vignettes. I'm so awed by the writings of others..

I do like your suggestion though.

I'm convinced that my greatest ideas are lost forever because I do the same thing. Let's learn from Carly Simon (and lots of other musicians), by keeping a small notebook handy at all times to jot these things down. Or else we can carry small tape recorders just like Michael Keaton in "Night Shift".

Don't think I haven't thought of that PW..and yet, I still haven't done it..as all of my great blogs vanish into thin air...one of these days........................
