Not so controversial maybe but I think the b-side of Speaking In Tongues is the band's finest moment-- David's often-annoying yelp sounds somehow closer to no-wave aggression on those dense and difficult songs

Ice cream.

when you put the spoon with the ice cream on it up to your face put the spoon in your mouth not your eye. it's easy!

I went through a weird ice cream phase one year, only one year, where I just craved it every single day. On my birthday we went to 6 different gelato/ice cream places in NY (with a stop to see a Harry Potter movie in the middle).

Not so much a controversial opinion as much as a tacit declaration that empathy is hard and takes work.

'Making flippy floppy' is the sexiest euphemism in the English language (controversial opinion).

Todd Edwards' remix of "burning down the house" is awesome

Burning Down the House is one of the lesser TH singles. I always manage to mash up into Our House when I think of it.

whoa, that's weird. Sometimes when I am drinking (like now) I accidentally think it's The Specials but never Talking Heads.

I mean, people with mental health problems can be selfish and cruel - I know I can be. But I don’t think it’s fair to claim that is the state of depression, or of all people who suffer from it. It’s a common feeling among people who have lost someone to suicide, though, and an understandable one; but it’s not an accurate description of the suicidal state of mind.

the stop making sense versh of 'burning down the house' is rad, the recorded version feels a bit thin by comparison

The use of space and synths in the studio version's outro still sounds radical.
