If you don't like "For Artists Only" you can just get out of town.

Bartender 11-07-2005 06:49 PM

Thank You For Sending Me An Angel was the first Talking Heads song I heard, and I'm glad it was.

I'm also of the opinion that pretty much every song is great, though.

Little Man being Erased 11-07-2005 07:04 PM

Why can't there be more than one good one?

Zappa 11-07-2005 07:06 PM

With Talking Heads, there are 5 "good ones."

Little Man being Erased 11-07-2005 07:07 PM

Good.

Dog 11-07-2005 07:57 PM

I'm a big Talking Heads fan. Has anyone bought the DualDisc boxset for TH that was recently released? I'd like to get it but I've heard a lot of audio complaints and for that sum of money I wanna make sure it's worth it.

I'm going to wait till January to just buy the first 5 releases. I'm not big on Little Creatures or Naked or True Stories.

The [I]Remain in Light[/I] dualdisc I'm especially excited for. It has unreleased tunes from those sessions.

Dog 11-07-2005 08:09 PM

Ah, I didn't know that they're releasing them individually. I'll wait for them, too, unless I find the box set used and/or really cheap somewhere.

And yeah I'm looking forward to the unreleased material.

Zappa 11-07-2005 08:10 PM

I just read that the CDs don't fit in a computer disc drive, cause they're thick. HOW WILL I RIP THEM?

The Beatles - [I]Rubber Soul[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Revolver[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band[/I]
The Beatles - [I]The White Album[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Abbey Road[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Let it Be[/I]

So I listened to [I]Rubber Soul[/I] this morning and then I couldn't stop.

It was a good day.

Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads

It totally pwns Stop Making Sense.

Daniel! 11-07-2005 11:25 PM

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die

Washing Machine is a quality album.

YDload 11-08-2005 12:41 AM

HUM- "Apollo"

I must not have heard this particular song very often, but it's really quite beautiful. So quiet and subdued as opposed to the rest of the album.

br3ad_man 11-08-2005 02:01 AM

Dntel - [i]Life Is Full of Possibilities[/i]

Interstate 11-08-2005 04:25 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Dntel - [i]Life Is Full of Possibilities[/i][/QUOTE]

Nice.

John Vanderslice - [I]Five Years[/I] just arrived in the post today and since I'm off work ill I thought I'd give it a spin. I've listened to two tracks so far and I'm liking it. It has all the Vanderslice songs I've previously listened to on it which is good. (It's kind of like a best of compilation thing)

Zappa 11-08-2005 05:16 AM

As long as you're referring to the CD version, you're right. That two-CD set is ridiculously fantastic.

br3ad_man 11-08-2005 05:23 AM

That's my friend's favourite Talking Heads album. I've kind of ignored it because it's a live album.

OrbDragon 11-08-2005 06:07 AM

I'm actually liking the song "Summer Skin" by Death Cab For Cutie, which is a first.

Interstate 11-08-2005 06:31 AM

[QUOTE=OrbDragon]I'm actually liking the song "Summer Skin" by Death Cab For Cutie, which is a first.[/QUOTE]

It's a great song, one of my favourite off [I]Plans[/I].

br3ad_man 11-08-2005 06:36 AM

Is [i]Plans[/i] good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.

Interstate 11-08-2005 06:50 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Is [i]Plans[/i] good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.[/QUOTE]

I didn't like it too much at first but it's become one of my favourite albums of this year. Personally nothing can top [I]...Facts[/I] though. [I]Transatlanticism[/I] is also a brilliant album. Give [I]You Can Play Songs With These Chords[/I] a spin, it's a compilation of early demos, B-sides and rarities - that's my second favourite and a great example of the bands early work.

Of course I am a Death Cab fan(atic) so I might be a bit bias.

Luxor 11-08-2005 09:25 AM

If you think [i]Transatlanticism[/i] is their best album, then you will like [i]Plans[/i].

6Stringer 11-08-2005 09:44 AM

The only DCFC album I own is [I]We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes[/I], it's a good album.

Today I listened to Of Montreal - [I]Cherry Peel[/I]

Luxor 11-08-2005 10:33 AM

I'm listening to Pedro The Lion for the first time in a long time. They're pretty good.

JonM 11-08-2005 11:51 AM

I saw Pedro open for Death Cab. I liked them. I liked them both, actually, but this was back before [i]Plans[/i] came out.

YDload 11-08-2005 03:27 PM

HUM- [i]Downward is Heavenward[/i]

This is undoubtedly the best modern rock album from the late 90s that there is. I mean, it's certainly good, but what else from that genre could beat it? Creed?! Gimme a break.

I've really been getting into Pink Floyd lately. It sounds so lame, but even though they've been around for ages, I never really got into them until now. But they're incredible.
