[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place
I’ve heard covers of this song by MGMT and Arcade Fire, but nothing beats the original. Ever. If you disagree you’re wrong. I’m sorry.
Home is where I want to be
But I guess i’m already there
What can I say about the Talking Heads that hasn’t been said before? Essentially they were the beginning of alternative, part of a genre called new wave in the 80s. They were criticized just as much as they were acclaimed have influenced numerous bands, including MGMT and Radiohead. To me their sound still remains relevant, especially when there is such a big movement towards a more “electronic” sound.If you have the time, I really suggest you watch this video here. It’s from the 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense, and it is absolutely fantastic. Watching them live makes me wish I was born twenty years earlier.
Enjoy!
