I feel I'm at the beginning of what could be a longstanding relationship with this band. I can't stop listening to Stop Making Sense at the moment. It's just brilliant. My appreciation for the album was re-triggered (is that a word?) recently while watching Lars and the Real Girl, as there's a scene at a house party where they stick This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) on the record player (although, a quick bit of research reveals this to be an error, as the band never released the Stop Making Sense version on vinyl, apparently)

What bands have been blatantly influenced by Talking Heads? I guess they're quite a difficult band to reference, really

Also, anybody read this?

If so, any good? I feel it might be my next literary purchase
