Heads Family Pick 1

Here's my pick of the best of the Talking Heads family A little bit of everyone. Some solo David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Harrison in the Modern Lovers. Solo Tina Wymouth, Tom Tom Club and even their guest spot with Gorillaz. All the Talking Heads are on the last track and everyone except for Byrne on The Heads track (with guest volcalist Johnnette Napolitano - Concrete Blonde.) David Byrne guested on several tracks over the years. a couple of those are on here and not on the Byrne Baby Byrne comp from a couple of days ago. Keep going back to those other family picks and see which ones were left out. And which ones made the cut. Is it my imagination or does the caricature of Byrne look like a skinny Tony Robbins?

Jerry Harrison Pick

Kind of continuing the Talking Heads family pick obviously Jerry Harrison was in the Talking Heads since they started recording. He's also done some very good solo albums. Most people also know that he was part of the original Modern Lovers with Jonathan Richman before the Talking Heads and he was in The Heads when David Byrne took a break from the group. I always liked that side project with guest singers replacing Byrne. What many people didn't know was that during the 80's he did a side project anonymously called Bonzo Goes To Washington. It was a one off 12 inch single using a sample from Ronald Reagan on a hot mic saying that he was going to bomb Russia. At the time it was something Reagan got a lot of trouble for saying, even though it was a joke. Harrison took that sample and made a dance track out of it. The music is very dated, but it's still funny if you know the story. Not sure why Harrison still does not have a greatest hits compilation, but I like to think it would look like this. We Begin Bombing In Five Minutes!
