I've been thinking about making an album of Talking Heads covers for awhile now but have never made myself make it happen. I think it's time to force myself to be more familiar with some of my toys (and get some new ones) and try to have this done over the next year. (Esp. for when Ingrid and I are living in Syracuse, NY without much to do.)

stay hungry
burning down the house
girlfriend is better
slippery people
life during wartime

I have a rule about coversongs that just pale in comparison to the original.. so it'll probably be a long, long time before anyone gets to hear anything but I really like the idea of this project-- and I do much better with my day-to-day when I have something compelling like this to do with it.

* do take the time to watch the "Life During Wartime" performance from the 2002 Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame induction. And if "Papa Legba" doesn't make you want to dance around, there's something wrong with you.
