Title: Talking Heads
Post by: FAH-Q on April 29, 2009, 10:27:18 PM
Man, they must be one of the most underrated bands ever. Everyone likes their stuff, even if they don't realize it.

I think my favourite song is This Must Be The Place.

Gente?

Agreed.

Edit : Had an afterthought... theres an Aussie band called - architecture in helsinki - I swear they could of been fathered by talkheads... they are not a direct rip, and go places the heads didn't,  but if ANYBODY was going to do the cover of - Burning down the house ( my fav track ) - on a tribute release, its them.

Are you kidding me?  There was so much good about the 80's, it was just underground.

Dude, you didnt live through it, you just drooled and shit yourself a lot.

The 80's sucked balls.
Title: Re: Talking Heads
Post by: Drugmoth on May 01, 2009, 07:45:08 PM
I lived six years through it.  A few of them I remember!
Title: Re: Talking Heads
Post by: ttfg on May 01, 2009, 07:54:42 PM
Coolangatta Gold - The movie
Skateboards and BMX going big
Hypercolour T-shirts - i think that was 89, not sure.

Title: Re: Talking Heads
Post by: mosh on May 01, 2009, 08:26:09 PM
Older than me...slightly...

Great things about the 80's:
Joh for PM - Delayed Howard becoming PM for a decade...
Hawthorn FC
Hardcore & Thrash
Talking Heads
ummm shit, thats about it. Even Dr Who sucked in the 80's.

Post by: ttfg on May 01, 2009, 08:32:00 PM
The Big Gig !! how did i forget that one. and D-gen I guess, so i should add thel ate show. fuck, both TV..lame.

The VN ? ha. no... 80s Bathurst was really good.
Title: Re: Talking Heads
Post by: mosh on May 01, 2009, 08:34:53 PM
The VL was the pinnacle. 3 litre turbocharged Nissan engine, and the Calais was gorgeous. The VN was awful.
Dick Johnson and his Sierra? The best thing about the Touring Cars was the JPS BMW's. They looked evil.

Do you remember Beatbox? That was way, way better than Rage.
Title: Re: Talking Heads
Post by: ttfg on May 01, 2009, 08:41:58 PM
trivia : My old man raced against Dickie back in the 60s.

I'm useless with 80s blue and reds. The VN was the first one that came to me.

Yeah, I remember alot from the 80s bathurst races, more than i do from the recent ones.

Beatbox was abit before me, but I am aware of it.

re: talking heads

not much is better than putting on the 'stop making sense' dvd in the background of a party, getting drunk and stoned and having a kickass heads dance party.

key songs aside from those already mentioned:

girlfriend is better
making flippy floppy

Great film.

Agreed. And actually I was introduced to Talking Heads via the song Road to Nowhere at the end of the movie Little Monsters (Savage bros! w000t!*). I watched till the end of the credits, then asked my dad "ever heard of a band called Talking Heads?". He'd heard of them but wasn't too familiar with their stuff, so we went down to HMV or wherever and bought a best-of album. This (http://www.amazon.com/Best-Talking-Heads/dp/B0002IQMKM) one, I think. We both really liked it, and played it all the time in the car. My dad was pretty cool with stuff like that, very open to trying out new music and getting into things I expressed interest in.

*Oh and fuckin' Howie Mandel played Maurice, the good monster. And Frank Whaley played Boy, the evil fuck. Check out the big brain on Boy!

My daughter just watched this movie for the first time a few days ago and she loved it. And then we had a dance party to Road to Nowhere when the movie ended. Good times.
