I’ve been messing with my 6000-odd mess of mp3 tracks, trying to organize things, and ended up listening to Remain In Light by the Talking Heads, all the way through. It’s from a time when album meant something more than “collection.” It’s a coherent work of art, and though I have many individual songs that are favoriter, I can’t say there is any album I feel more strongly about – even after all these years.
It makes me think of Duluth, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and being down-and-out on the streets of Ottawa, and living in my car in Boston.
Remain. In. Light.
