Album of the Day

If you thought the recently re-released concert film Stop Making Sense was impressive, just give a listen to THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS. The 1982 live double album shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers on their way up with tracks spanning the preceding five years. The first half of this set, drawn from a 1977 radio broadcast and a 1979 Passaic, NJ gig, features the quartet on such early favorites as “Psycho Killer” and “Love Goes to Building on Fire.” The second half was recorded during the 1980 REMAIN IN LIGHT tour and sees the group joined by guest performers including Adrian Belew, Bernie Worrell and Nona Hendryx. THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS takes the alternative rock icons’ already exciting studio performances to a whole new level.
