« Anyone for a U-beer? | Main | Inside Deep Flow Studios »
It's a valid question. After staring at a computer screen all day, sometimes I wonder if I have one myself. But every once in a while, a groove like this one comes along and shakes up my day. So I thought I'd share it with you: "Houses in Motion" by the Talking Heads, live in Rome, 1980. OH SNAP!
I like it better than the version from Stop Making Sense. Yeah, I said it.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

Sam,
Tell me what you think of the following
Lead guitarist Adrian Belew is featured in this King Crimson performance. He is also the singer. It also features Tony Levin on The Chapman Stick.
The song actually starts 2.05 minutes in.

GDA, it's a little intense and a little dense, but the playing is phenomenal -- there's no doubt about that. I'm somewhat familiar with Belew's work, and Elephant Talk was fun to watch.

Sam,
The following is a Laurie Anderson clip from her movie "Home of the Brave" (1984). Adrian Belew is one of the performers. Genrewise she kind of falls into the same sphere as Talking Heads, a bit higher in concept, and some people worked for both of them.
What do you think? It's nothing like King Crimson
