Howdy, youse guys! It's a NOTIMEWARP MUSIC blog sighting! With baseball almost over, my two football teams a combined 5-9 (thank God for the Jets), no NBA, and sporadic hockey coverage, I think I gots some time to do the music thang! The playlist is coming along. Trying to decide on multiple playlists or just one big one. So much music to choose from but just putting it together! Oy vey! But it's still fun and exciting and I'm looking forward to getting it back on line for everyone to dig. And I'm still pack ratting music like crazy. New stuff coming out from Jane's Addiction, Tom Waits (who I never really got into but the new record's pretty nice), bonus tracks on a re-release of "Some Girls", has all kept me pretty busy and the ears perked up. Plus, I got about 100 Cd's from a friend who does a little wheeling and dealing so, there's alla that to catch up to also. Makes for some happy listening. Speaking of listening, the "I'm gonna listen to alla my vinyl this year" project bit the big one. I'll just keep listing stuff for the rest of the year (to officially mark how spectacularly the project failed). As you'll see below, I did a nice run of Talking Heads albums. I got turned onto the Heads with "Take Me to the River" and got my hands on a copy of 'More Songs About Buildings and Food' from the radio station I was working at at the time. I then got a copy of 'Fear of Music' (same source) when it came out and was hooked from there. But it was the crazy ass rhythms of 'Remain in Light' that made me a Heads fanatic. It's still my favorite Talking Heads album to this day. But, I'm going back to my first Heads album for a video. This is from 1978, when the album was still brand new and this song opens side 2...
Albums listened to since last post; "'77", "More Songs About Buildings and Food", "Fear of Music", "Remain in Light", "Speaking in Tongues", "Little Creatures" (Talking Heads), "My Turn to Love You" (Eddy Grant), "Confrontation" (Bob Marley). Total listened to: 158. To go: 510.
