Remain In Light By Talking Heads review. In The Court of The Wenton Knave

[@kevinmuldoon224]

Glad to see you back! Have this album but not listened to it in a while. Must dig it out.

[@Z-eb]

woah, your back ! dont leave us ever again for such a long time. a masterpiece indeed ! (remember mr fripp is on "Fear of Music"

[@danielmoore4693]

Welcome back! 😀Remain In Light was almost the first thing I experienced, when I went college. Exploring the Heads' catalog was obligatory with my circle of friends there, so I got to know it all. Fear Of Music, the Eno/Heads record just previous, is also great, of course. I'd say it fits more the New Wave label, since it stays closer to what Talking Heads were doing just before RIL: (in)sensible social commentary, set to pop music. RIL lyrics started the more abstract trend to their music and lyrics, I think.

I suppose this isn’t an open invitation for more patreon requests... glad you’re back for now though!

[@MrLtia1234]

Yeah, no more Patreon requests, although there's one more request still to go from (I think) over a year ago. I'd like to wind it down, but not sure how to do that without withholding content to the subscribers.

@@MrLtia1234 if bands from the 70’s have taught us anything, nothing lasts forever. Maybe it’s time for Sam and Kev to move into a house together and retire to grow vegetables, and that’s fine.

Glad you're back. Great review as always

Unless Fela Kuti's Afordisiac, which Eno played Talking Heads is referenced for RiL it is incomplete because they simply took the ideas, and the arrangements from Kuti's album, and gave it a Eno/Byrne rinse. Brilliant album, but one, once the source is divined, loses some magic.

Does England have New York style pizza? I wanna visit the John Bonham exhibit but wont if I can't good food.

[@MrLtia1234]

The food will be a sort of middle ground of meh. You'll probably get better curries (down the hill from the Bonham memorial is good), but you'll get things called 'New York style pizza' which will likely be awful if you've had the real thing.
