What's a website for if not for the selfish indulgence of one's own opinions? So here are the books I think are worth reading (as well as some music and movies). Any one of them should bring you pleasure. (And if not, well, it is only an opinion.)

The Name of this Band is Talking Heads - on CD at last

The Name of this Band is Talking HeadsRejoice. For at last we have a CD reissue of Talking Heads' epic live album. Plus, it comes with enough extra tracks to fill a whole other CD. And it is, of course, trancendentally wondrous.

The only downside is that fans like me who never got to see the Heads know from this album (even more than the better-known Stop Making Sense) just how much we missed.

Many years ago, in a pub called The Legless Ladder in Battersea, I met a Dutch girl who confessed to running away from school in the Netherlands to get to a Talking Heads gig. And who can blame her? (I'll never forget her - she was clearly a woman of great musical taste. And she had a live, bright green lizard on her shoulder. Looking back, one wonders why I didn't propose on the spot.)

If you've been waiting as long as I have for this CD, or if you've never experienced musical heaven before, click the picture to buy it from Amazon. (It's even a bargain - under seven quid for a historic two-disc album. Can you argue with that?)
