As time passes, I only like Talking Heads more and more. Recently I’ve been revisiting their discography, one album/week, and it’s just staggering. This week I hit Stop Making Sense, a film I’ve always admired, but found a newfound respect for when I tried directing some theatrical events a few years back (really amateurish stuff). Stop Making Sense makes it all look so easy; every second is flawless. And when David Byrne dances with the lamp, during “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody),” I swear, it’s just so beautiful and so perfect…
Stop Making Sense (1984)
Directed by Jonathan Demme
Designed by David Byrne
Featuring Talking Heads( & the Tom Tom Club!)
Enjoy!

Byrne’s dance with the lamp to “This Must Be the Place” is one of the few things in life I do not get tired of. Ever.
Me, too! Our daily fix:
“Home” was one of the ones that didn’t make the album. Never understood why it wasn’t a double album.
