Post a controversial opinion

I like gelato! And my eyes!

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).

depressed people are selfish and abusers

Fuck off

this is a safe space iirc

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

I have great empathy for people who deserve it

Pooping is fun

that's not only uncontroversial, that's pretty much my central precept

Who doesn't like to poop?

only one way to find out

depends

^^^ advertising slogan

i skip to making flippy floppy every time, personally

I find David Byrne extremely tiresome

my god what have we done

skipping flippy floppy makes flappy happy

loooool

skipping to* flippy floppy makes flappy happy. one of my top 5 talking heads songs

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

I only skip "Burning..." because I tend not to listen to singles when playing albums.

^real controp

but not on ilm I feel

i can see that being the case

ilm has its own quirks~

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.

woah same

Just gonna come out and say it i love burning down the house

And I’ve partied hard to it

Our House is vastly superior.

I’ve rocked out to our house but it arouses in me calmer feels

the million of google results and mistagged mp3s from people thinking talking heads performed our house is really something

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

that’d be a step beyond

I doubt that. Fuck you a thousand times you stain

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

Also, Burning Down the House is great, fools.

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

There's probably an argument to be made that all Stop Making Sense versions are superior to their originals. Except, er, 'Genius of Love'. Maybe try and rein in those 'JAMES BROWWWWWN!'s if you could, please, Chris.

burning down the house is their best song by far.

yeah by the time they get to it in Stop Making Sense there has been a continuously build up and it's like they kicked the show into overdrive. i love the weirdo synth solo from that show so much.

one of the all time best song titles ever too

pleasure of love is better than genius of love. #controversy

My controversial opinion is that I’ve never seen stop making sense

i saw it on acid. in 1984. i don't think i've seen it since.

Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve

Everyone should see Stop Making Sense at least once. Even non-Talking Heads fans. With an audience, if possible.

'Pleasure of Love' > 'Genius of Love' = not that controversial imo.

we went and saw tom tom club in early 90s at chestnut cabaret in philly and it was so so so sad. very sad.

I enjoy Talking Heads a lot but gigs not v much and superior live versions nein danke so
