Yes I am a snob. But I am well listened. We are not going to argue about that old fogie Clapton again are we?

Ha ha. Yes I've seen Cream...

OT OT Talking Heads??? Actually that was of course the original band. Not so great.

However during the Eno/Hassell period they were very VERY good. You might be aware that Hassell in particular was one of the players on the original "In C" by Terry Riley which changed music for all time. In fact both Bowie and Eno were fans before they were famous and Riley influenced many of the people who created these genre: Trance, New Age, Hip Hop, Rave and related.

Hassell is the only trupeter with a new sound since Mile Davis. He's interested in Micropoly Rhythms. He's one of the few advanced musicians I really want to see live. Haven't yet.

If you are curious I'd recommend this:

amazon.com

while you can still get it. Some pretty funny reviews by peopel who don't know what they are taliking about.

Note the price on this one:

amazon.com

I'm not selling mine. Hell no.

Hassell is one of the most sophisticated composers in the world.

Everyone knows about Eno here right? Roxy music? David Bowie? U2? Everyone else and their brother?

Wait until you hear what is coming... well maybe not.

OT

>>Are you saying you actually paid money to see talking heads?

I do seem to remember you stating you were somewhat of a connoisseur of music?

Talking Heads???<<

Don -

The Talking Heads are one of the finest, most inventive, most amazing American bands ever. It's a shame you can't appreciate them.

From "Psycho Killer" to "Once in a Lifetime" to "Burning Down the House" and beyond, they broke new ground and did things that were completely original again and again.
