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.

Todd Edwards' remix of "burning down the house" is awesome
― brimstead, Monday, 7 May 2018 02:33 (six years ago) link
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.

Our House is vastly superior.

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.

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
― Mahogany Loggins (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 7 May 2018 11:56 (six years ago) link
Also, Burning Down the House is great, fools.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Monday, 7 May 2018 12:03 (six years ago) link
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.
― Love Theme From Oh God! You Devil (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 May 2018 12:25 (six years ago) link
burning down the house is their best song by far.
― scott seward, Monday, 7 May 2018 12:38 (six years ago) link
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.

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

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
― hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Monday, 7 May 2018 12:49 (six years ago) link
I mean no, to be fair, it's not even that I don't like those things, it's just the thought of them usually fills me with an empty surge of world weariness

x-post to self OK, I know it is fascist and am not really advocating for it BUT I saw a story about a woman who left her kids in the car because they didn't want to get out and two hours later they were dead because it was 100+ in the car. She went inside and got high and took a nap while they baked to death. She claimed she thought the three year old would be able to let them out. As someone who isn't a parent but desperately wants kid(s) this shit makes me livid.

I like SMS but it's a produced, blocked and presumably practised piece of theatre just as much or more than it is a great live show caught on tape

yes but it also removes the dissonance from not liking the band so much but liking SMS
― I am George III, I went a little cray (rip van wanko), Monday, 7 May 2018 15:08 (six years ago) link
Yeah, was gonna say, wanko, I think you just perfectly summed up the appeal and I don't think it pretends to be anything else. It's a concert specifically constructed as a filmic experience.
― Love Theme From Oh God! You Devil (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 May 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
