Popular Favorites 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline - Talking Heads

Thirty-three songs featuring merely a smattering of pseudo-self-conscious filler mean that ... more

hindsight has been good to Talking Heads' music.
Fans have long since debated where the genius lay,
though a couple of hours with Sand In The Vaseline
yields no clear answers beyond "Probably not Jerry
Harrison". The speed with which Talking Heads
transformed from art-school punks to a highly
credible funk noise is well illustrated here: just
compare the irritating earliest material to the
clipped funkadelica of "Girlfriend Is Better", 
and "Burning Down The House". The band's purple
patch between More Songs About Buildings And Food
and Remain In Light is well-represented here,
especially on songs like "Heaven" and "Once In A
Lifetime", where Brian Eno's masterful production
lent the band's music an esoteric elegance they
never quite returned to. In fairness though,
1985's Little Creatures suggested they didn't much
care to. "Road To Nowhere" and "And She Was" (both
featured here) represent the group's last truly
great pop spree, before Byrne's all-consuming
interest in world music (and his Luaka Bop label)
began to dominate. --Peter Paphides

Reviews which might be of interest for "Sand In The Vaseline - Talking Heads"

The Talking Heads pop collection…

Advantages: The Heads go pop
Disadvantages: Nothin'

album is bring the mixing skills of the late Alex Sadkin who worked with Grace Jones and men known as the “Rhythm Twins” better known as Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. With Mr Sadkin’s experience with reggae music he brought to the table a sense of pop music that paid off, for this is Talking Heads most commercial collection they ever released in my option. From the opening track of “Burning Down the House” that has been so badly covered in resent years as to make me cringe every time I hear it. To he wonderful song that is “This must be the Place (naïve melody)”, the album as a whole is just so easy to listen to, not to say that it falls into the “easy-listening” category, no far from it the words are as surreal as always. As with most of the bands output the lyrics ...

Review of Speaking In Tongues - Talking Heads

The Talking heads zenith…

Advantages: truly ground breaking
Disadvantages: nothing comes to mind

are heard to repeat the line “I’m still waiting…. I’m still waiting”. The track “The great Curve” is best called a muscular guitar workout where the player really lets his instrument do the talking. As the song “Once in a Lifetime” begins it’s hard for me not to see in my head the video that goes along with the track, the sight of David Byrne doing a Toni Basil choreographed dance routine is quite a difficult image to get out of my mind, in the days of vinyl that was the end of side 1. The song “Houses in Motion” sets the tone for the rest of the tracks on the album, more sombre paced and played using minor sounding chords, such as the trumpet and horn arrangements on this track by long time Eno’s collaborator Jon Hassell. The trumpet playing of Mr Hassell ...

Review of Remain In Light - Talking Heads

Tigi Bed Head Small Talk-This little bottle talks volumes!

Advantages: smell, packaging, lasts ages, lives up to its claims, multi-use
Disadvantages: nothing major

My experience of this quirky little product. RRP £12.45. Although you can get it for between £6-10 on various beauty sites such as Lookfantastic.com or gorgeousshop.co.uk or Salonskincare.co.uk amongst others. There are often offers on this range. I first started using Tigi products when I bought the Dumb Blonde shampo/conditioner in a local hairdressers-Highly recommended. I came across this little Gem in TK MAXX and was intrigued by its berry-like packaging. Tigi is well known for its stylish packaging and in my opinion the Bed Head range does require a sense of humour, its packaging is quirky and bold as are its statements. In my opinion the products live up to it. Living in this wonderful British climate, my hair seems to go from flat and frizzy in the summer to dry in the winter. My main problem is that whist I have lots ...
