Voted!

One of my favorite books to browse while listening: What the Songs Look Like: Contemporary Artists Interpret Talking Heads' Songs. A bunch are available for cheap on Amazon.

Voted. As I've only heard bits and pieces of the solo/side-project stuff decided to skip the ballot for that, and limited my albums ballot to TH albums only.

I skipped the solo tracks poll, but voted for both Bush of Ghosts and the Catherine Wheel above the final 3 TH albums.

I'd suggest something close to

POLL up the roots

But it might be confusing for future ILX searchers

will send a ballot tomorrow, btw

POLL to Nowhere

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Friday, 24 March 2017 15:43 (seven years ago) link

They think they know what's best
They're making a POLL of us
They like to laugh at people
They're making a bad example

Poll Polls About Polling And Polls

We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times.
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time.
They might be better off I think the way it seems to me.
Making up their own POLLs, which might be better than T.V.

Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 24 March 2017 15:58 (seven years ago) link

but these are not real, ufo otm etc

Sent! Couldn't do a solo tracks ballot, & I'm not at all convinced of the lower reaches of my album picks. Really looking forward to the rollout!

hardcore dilettante, Friday, 24 March 2017 23:43 (seven years ago) link

Letting the POLLS go by

POLLS are simple, POLLS are straight

To Live and Die In L.A. (Bee OK), Saturday, 25 March 2017 01:44 (seven years ago) link

work asked me today if i could come in next week and throw some OT at me. i did think about delaying this poll for one week but decided not to. so this will be the last weekend to vote.

To Live and Die In L.A. (Bee OK), Saturday, 25 March 2017 02:03 (seven years ago) link

(i'm also probably getting a promoting in the next billing cycle which does start that next week)

could not delay this, it was too important.

Bee OK - do what you need to do. Talking Heads polls can wait

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Saturday, 25 March 2017 04:02 (seven years ago) link

I came to the conclusion the other day that TH are my favourite all time musical act. More than Autechre or the Boo Radleys or Scott Walker or even the Beach Boys or any if the bands I harp on about round here. I became a fan after seeing SMS back in 2006 and the visceral requirement for them to be in my life has never waivered. There's little else out there that sums up how I feel about the world. TH are basically my life #drunkpostofcourse

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Saturday, 25 March 2017 04:08 (seven years ago) link

Funny, out of this thread I was saying like a week ago to musician friend that TH are my concept of a cool rock band and that a 1980 show is like my platonic ideal of awesome concert, that'll be my show in heaven.

song where nothing happens

Sufjan Grafton, Saturday, 25 March 2017 04:57 (seven years ago) link

Remain in Light TOWERS over the rest of their discography except the live records at least to me.

earlnash, Saturday, 25 March 2017 05:09 (seven years ago) link

yet live remain in light songs are the worst, not including crosseyed and painless of course
