{Just dropping in to say that my posts in the next few weeks might be limited, due to that aforementioned trip to AMSTERDAM!}
Lately, things have been busy and I've been filling up the remaining spare moments vigorously digesting the Talking Heads discography. I'm kind of embarrassed to say that my prior knowledge of this band was limited to the two records we have (Speaking in Tongues and Little Creatures)—both of which are awesome—and an old DVD of True Stories that I've owned for almost 15 years and maybe watched once. But recently when I went home, I found a copy of Talking Heads: 77 and could.not.stop. listening to it. It's just so funky fresh.
I swear, there's nothing better than diving into a band's repertoire and the excitement of knowing that there's still SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC I haven't listened to yet. Sometimes things get hectic, and for a few hours or days I forget about whatever music or movie or nerdy obsession I have going on at the moment, and then I'll leave work and suddenly remember those videos I have queued up and the albums I need to find, and I get SO PUMPED. This is one of those times: a blissful discovery phase.
Even though it's showing the night before we leave for Europe, I really want to go to this upcoming screening of Stop Making Sense. I'm trying not to spoil too much of it, but did watch the below video which only confirmed the fact that I need to see this film:

How can one band be so cool?
