	Talking Heads
		Talking Heads was a new wave rock band existing between 1974 and 1991, and composed of David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison.
		Talking Heads' most radical attempt at an answer was the use of dadaist Hugo Ball's nonsense words as a mock-African chant in "I Zimbra." The strategy on Remain in Light is much more complicated and risky.
		Talking Heads' David Byrne and audio eclectic Brian Eno have made vocal tracks from snippets of radio broadcasts and Middle Eastern music (the way Robert Fripp turned his neighbors' fighting into "NY3"), then set them in and against percussive, repetitive mind-funk designed more for listening than dancing.

	Talking Heads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Talking Heads were an American rock band existing between 1974 and 1991, and composed of David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison.
		A talking head is a shot sometimes used in news programs that reveals only the head and shoulders of the person speaking.
		Talking Heads' body of work has been extremely influential, with bands as wide-ranging as Radiohead (named after a Talking Heads song), Phish (covering the entire album "Remain In Light" at a 1996 Halloween show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers acknowledging them among their roots.

	Talking Heads (plays) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Talking Heads is a series of dramatic monologues written for BBC television by the acclaimed British playwright Alan Bennett.
		Although the plays deal with a variety of subjects, there are certain recurring themes, such as loneliness, hubris, and romantic irony.
		Most of the plays give some hint as to where they are set - mostly in Leeds, although not, as Bennett stresses, the real Leeds, rather one that exists in his head.

	Cokemachineglow.com : Talking Heads: Talking Heads Brick (Pt. 2)
		Where the first four titles in the Talking Heads’ remastered catalogue boasted a total of seventeen bonus tracks, many of which were quality, unreleased songs, the next four albums include only eight, many of which are ‘extended mixes’ or do not constitute unreleased material.
		Introducing talk of bodies, sexuality, babies and tangible women (rather than those in Remain in Light, upon whose hips “the world swings”), Little Creatures was met with awkward silence from many critics who weren’t sure where Byrne’s sense of distance and anti-linear lyricism had gone.
		Talking Heads, Byrne’s primary though no longer exclusive medium, was thus often perceived to recycle memorable touchstones of previous Heads successes, particularly estrangement from the stereotypical tropes of Middle-American life.

		What both authors have done, and in part the complimentary nature of the evening depends upon this, is bring to life a woman living out her life to the best of her limited abilities; those abilities being limited only by each woman’s own sense of self-worth.
		Another director might have found more interesting paths and patterns for her to wander, but at least the inner plays emerge, even when the trappings of theatricality are missing.
		Talking Heads plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm through March 11.

	Sam Ulward Album Reviews: Talking Heads
		Talking Heads’ debut is a strange mixing of the styles I know almost nothing about — New Wave, punk and funk, and that’s maybe why I didn’t really get the album after the first listening.
		Some people say that Talking Heads made the evolution in so-called world music or even created the genre itself by this song, but I can’t tell it, because I don’t interested in the world music and all that stuff.
		The old good Talking Heads problem is back and that sucks, because by the end of the whole thing you become bored and tired of listening to the exactly same stuff with minor changes.

	Talking Heads
		Talking Heads were one of the first and best purveyors of "dance music you can't dance to," churning out songs that had (on paper) many of the same raw materials as "regular" pop music, but that put these elements together in such a wholely bizarre way as to distinguish themselves from everybody else.
		In the end, then, this is so necessary, not only for Heads fans, but also for any pop music fan in general, that the fact that we had to wait so long for a CD issue of this seems in retrospect like an unpardonable crime by the music industry.
		This and '77 may not be the best Talking Heads albums, but they amply demonstrate that, when left to their own devices, this group could still pull out some friggin' interesting music.

	Talking Heads - Alan Bennett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		One is a not-so-young struggling film actress describing her role in the shooting of a soft-core porn/crime film in which she takes her clothes off as part of the scenery, has one one-word line, and shoots a man with a spear gun.
		The most outright hilarious of the plays is "A Lady of Letters," about the letter-writing career of a very lonely woman, portrayed with impeccable comic timing and subtle emotion by Christine Ebersole.
		Original music by Michael Roth surrounds the worlds of the plays with a rich and evocative emotional texture, and Candice Donnelly's costumes look as though they were magically pulled right out of the closets of each of these very different characters.

	HTGuide Forum - Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense”
		I own a copy of the "Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense" DVD which is in my 300 DVD carousel for instant playback, which happens every so often, especially when I want to watch an aerobic workout accompanied by some compelling music.
		Picture quality is not why you'd buy "Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense'" That's not to say that the picture quality is BAD -- it does the job effectively, clearly showing the performers and their high energy antics onstage, but I wouldn't call it system-demo quality either.
		The DVD is like getting a high quality recording of your favorite Talking Heads songs that just happens to have video of the group performing them.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Remain In Light [DualDisc] - Talking Heads at Epinions.com
		The Talking Heads were never afraid of experimentation and with the help of Eno they were able to create something entirely different and creatively free.
		On one level the Talking Heads created a straightforward pop/rock track but pulling apart the layers of the acoustic and electronic rhythmic elements turns up the fact that it is something more obscure and international.
		It feels organic and tribal and when set aside the Talking Heads brand of new wave or pop (or whatever you choose to call it) I can’t help but think that a lot of people came to love the song without first realizing who performed it.

		If you are scratching your own head and wondering if you have ever caught a glimpse of Carlisle's work, well you probably have, even if you didn't realize it at the time.
		The heads currently hanging in Carlisle's studio reflect the subtle and not-so-subtle differences that can be found amoung the inanimate population.
		There are double-heads sprouting from the same set of shoulders as well as single heads; paintings are awash with pale pastel colors or a spectrum of vibrant blues and purples.

	The Scotsman - S2 - THEATRE REVIEW: Talking Heads
		Its subject is death and the courage of ordinary, unremarkable people in facing the slow slide towards extinction and it’s a tribute to Bennett’s tremendous skill and grace as a dramatic writer that his plays are not actually depressing but oddly life-affirming, and often very funny.
		In A Chip in the Sugar, Paul Sirr plays Graham, the dependent fortysomething son of a woman in her early seventies whose last hope of a romantic fling comes to grief, to her son’s immense relief.
		In the famous A Cream Cracker Under the Settee, Janet Michael plays an elderly widow, stranded on the floor of her house after a fall, who chooses death, surrounded by her memories of a happy marriage, over rescue and life in an old folks’ home.

		After his first few plays, critics started asking whether he could write dialogue, which seemed a tad unnecessary.
		In this play, as in The Weir, ghosts are used as the clearest theatrical emblem of this energy.
		In Freud's work, it often seems that such pain or rage never escapes: it just impacts into the flesh, where it is absorbed, never to escape, like an infinite number of twisted genies trapped in the wreckage of each burst blood vessel.

	Talking Heads
		Nonetheless, the Talking Heads were in my view not just the biggest but most consistently listenable of the American New Wave acts, recording a half-dozen commercially successful albums over a decade, breaking ground with Byrne's electronic funk and World Music affectations, and always retaining enough musical integrity to make them a critics' favorite.
		Things go rapidly downhill on the second disc, though: the Heads convinced themselves they were a genuine World Beat funk band, and they crowded the stage with additional musicians including Belew, Busta Jones on bass, Bernie Worrell on organ, Nona Hendryx on backing vocals, and more singers and percussionists.
		The Heads now reconvened for a self-produced studio album, and indeed they're completely in command of their patented, tension-building funk/New Wave dance recipe ("Girlfriend Is Better," livened with a catchy "stop making sense" refrain).

		Talking Heads were nifty, but IMHO they were severely overshadowed by another NYC class of '76/'77 band -- Television.
		The talking heads is funk for someone who fears fls (a good comparison is Elvis Presely and rock and roll who I despise but respect).
		Talking Heads are artists transplanted from the tangible to the audible.

	Talking Heads :: Theatre Review :: ABC Brisbane
		Talking Heads, a series of intriguing monologues, was originally brought to prominence as a series of short television plays in England in the 1990's.
		There are indeed many times in both plays when one almost feels one is listening to the characters private thoughts, or perhaps listening one on one to an intimate confession of sorts.
		Judging by the overwhelming response of the opening night audience the two plays were indeed very well received.
