About this episode
Dan and Kev discuss the forward-thinking nature of Talking Heads 77 and its significance in the punk movement.
Season 3 is kicking off with another Under Records Heavy Hitter: Talking Heads 77! Dan and Kev simply cannot believe how forward-thinking and ever-prescient the contents of these songs are. Join them in the track-by-track as they gush over David Byrne’s weirdness, Jerry Harrison’s reluctant awesomeness,Tina Weymouth’s invaluable bass playing. What was going on in this critical three year period of Talking Heads’ early career before all their influences came in? How does music like this surface out of a Punk movement? The only logical conclusion: David Byrne is living in the future!
