If I could go back in time one of the first things I would do would be to go and see Talking Heads live. It is to my eternal regret that this didn’t happen when it was possible. Anyway, this is one of their best and I’ve posted the live version because, along with The Eurythmics’ ‘1984’, this album was on display everywhere when I last visited Berlin, in 1984. I say last because I’m going back there next month. I guess things may have changed a little. For the better or worse? When I went it was pretty raw, I went to the Dschungel, which was, I believe, a hang out of David Bowie and Iggy Pop a few years earlier. When I went ‘You Spin Me Round’ was on the wheels of steel and it was very hi nrg.
