This ain’t no party. This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no foolin’ around. This is CFX. Episode 56: Talking Heads and we get so “lovey dovey” that “we ain’t got time for that now”. That’s right, we had to split this into two parts. In this first part, we go into our personal histories, the zeitgeist that created Talking Heads and a detailed history of the band. We also cover the bands’ 1970s albums, Talking Heads ‘77, More Songs about Buildings and Food, and Fear of Music. We take you on a journey from the galleries of the Rhode Island School of Design to the rat-infested industrial lofts of the boweries and the early days of CBGBs to the exotic Compass Point Studios in Nassau where the band started their collaboration with Brian Eno that would culminate in…well, that’s in Part 2. But as usual, we decide if this music and the band as a whole stand the test of time or whether “they are talking a lot” “but not saying anything”, and, along the way, we learn…
Why the drummer is always smiling
What utensil Lou Reed used to eat a pint of Haagen Dazs ice cream.
Which member of the band did a performance art piece that involved shaving off his beard using beer foam as shaving cream
Which member of the band has “science hair”
Why the Ramones had a sudden need for Carbona Spot Remover
