Full disclosure, although haven't totally succeeded yet. Crosseyed & Painless sounds particularly good, and contains a longer version of the facts rap. #TalkingHeads #MusicSky

Maybe counterbalanced slightly by the number of obsessives who've found and bought every related 12" promo release on @discogsofficial.bsky.social just in case the pressings sound even marginally better than the LP.

"'Party Fears Two' is about the disorientation you feel from the overindulgence in alcohol. It's a subject everyone can understand because people do strong things when they're drunk. I usually get over affectionate. I start kissing everyone."

About 45 mins in and counting, dancing while making dinner, it's great. Haven't shared this before because I lifted it from his Facebook years ago when I still had an account, but as Janet is making an appearance here she is at Sound Factory with Richie Herrera who worked security.
