Talking Heads become the uber-hip benchmark for all other cool bands of the late 70РІР‚в„ўs and early 80s.

This culminated in their 1984 movie, РІР‚ВStop Making SenseРІР‚в„ў which was more like going to see a concert than a movie at the cinema with people dancing in the aisles and singing along to all the songs. They opened my eyes and ears to the way that music could be looked upon as a performance art-form as opposed to simply a recorded medium. РІР‚ВFear Of MusicРІР‚в„ў and РІР‚ВRemain In LightРІР‚в„ў have to be mentioned here as well. As was all of Talking HeadРІР‚в„ўs early albums. РІР‚ВSpeaking In TonguesРІР‚в„ў was another album that was a revelation to my teenage ears. GordonРІР‚в„ўs haunting and yet menacing vocals still resonate today and itРІР‚в„ўs hard to imagine how bands such as the awesome Placebo could have ever existed without this one coming first. Their eponymous first album went gold on our tiny islands faster than anywhere else in the world. In New Zealand Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie and Victor DeLorenzo quickly became part of musical folklore and their concert in Auckland touring the mighty follow up album, РІР‚ВHallowed GroundРІР‚в„ў was extraordinary. РІР‚ВAdd It UpРІР‚в„ў is a song about the difficulties of getting laid as a teenager aimed squarely at a demographic who think about nothing else. It became an anthem for every misconstrued, ill-thought of and awkward teenager there ever was. There was a time in my life, about a year in fact, when you couldnРІР‚в„ўt go to a party anywhere in Auckland without hearing the Violent Femmes first album in its entirety at least ten times over the course of any given evening. It has been a memorable experience recreating the moments that shaped my musical past and present. Doing this list without The Cure, The Cult, The Smiths or Joy Division forced me to look at the bands and songs that influenced my tastes in somewhat more formative years and the moments of live magic that have stayed with me ever since rather than simply repeating the names of my favourite songs from my record collection. I, like him, tried to do this without the plethora of British rock bands that I always seem to spout at people when they ask me what sort of music I listen to. I generally just feel like the world is out of touch.A big thank you to Allen Miles for this opportunity and experience. So i'm obviously not interested nor impressed by much Meditating and playing street fighter online Otherwise i'm home trying to find my mind While someone inside raps better than them (make way for the fraternity all the dicks are in)Р”В«y seeing masses of rappers huddled outside Imma start coming to shows armed with yanking canes and coke bottlesР”Р„nd put it out there for the world to see While concocting a diabolical plot for hostile takeover alsoР”В«ut manage to run their mouths like spokesmodels I don't think we'd be seeing all too much of that I just wish they'd stay out of my business dealingsР”Р„nd with out eminem and his for got about dre cadence So they perpetrate and over inflate things Use schmoozing as a means of paying dues? The swear word count is lower than most rap singles, and the word 'nigga' is not uttered once. There's action, comedy, and fun for the whole family. Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy it. This would not have happened with out them (YOU.) I owe a lot of appreciation to my friends and co-conspirators on Twitter, who would often supply me with subject matter, All in all, I learned a lot and am proud of the output. During the making of this, I was also compiling material for various projects to be released throughout 2012 and beyond, separate from the material contained here. I wanted to use this project as an opportunity to experiment with various styles, concepts and recording/mixing procedures.
