He used to have a picture of himself on Goodreads. He looked a lot like a thirteen year old kid from Pakistan, but that could just be some kid he found.

I like this album. It makes me want to shake my body in lots of silly ways.

I used to hate the album cover but it grew on me, and now I kinda like it.

For those hating on the album cover, it perfectly compliments the content of "Seen and Not Seen" as well as the motif of identity in crisis across the album... not to mention the "meta" implication in that these are a bunch of white, art school kids playing afrofunk.

It will forever remain my favorite Talking Heads album and it will forever remain in my top 100.

One of the most played albums in my collection. Born Under Punches might very well be my all time favorite song.

I used to hate this album. It was just noise to me. Now, I appreciate how brilliant it is, and cannot deny how positively genius some of these tracks are.

Track picks
1. Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
2. Crosseyed And Painless
4. Once In A Lifetime
6. Seen And Not Seen

Hahaha. The first time I listened to this album, I danced like crazy during the first three songs. By myself. I'm sure it looked ridiculous. Very Happy The first half is brilliant, the other half is meh. Still my favourite Talking Heads album.
