haha this is nothing short of amazing.
i'd love to see some recent interviews to compare.

David Byrne's autistic isn't he? I think he appeared in an asberger's syndrome documentary, so he'll probably never be that good at talking with people.

Oops, I mean Asperger's Syndrome. So he and that guy from the Vines have something to talk about if they ever meet, though I guess they wouldn't want to talk.

Thanks for that. Talking Heads make me HAPPY.

Now if you could give us some recommendations on contemporary bands that put on shows as good as that, I'd REALLY appreciate it!
