It’s so good! The original seemed to quickly get overshadowed by Stop Making Sense. They’re both great albums, of course, but I’ve been in a real early TH mood lately, and Name is such a kinetic document of the band in those years. Have you ever read Jonathan Lethem’s 33 1/3 book about Fear Of Music?

Oooh, I have not - love the series but have not seen that one - thanks for the recommendation.

I know what you mean about the relationship between the two albums - not to dismiss "Stop ..." but greatly prefer Name ..."

My first exposure to the Heads was buying "Fear ..." on cassette when I was in high school. Then bought "Remain ..." my freshman year and played it to death, still have that record (I am now 61). I love the way those songs sound on "Name ..." as well as the side 1/2 earlier cuts. Love both versions of "Drugs".

I think you’d dig the Lethem 33 1/3. He was 15 and living in Brooklyn when the album came out, and he filters the album through that view, but in a broad, non-self-indulgent way. His description of the opening of “Memories Can’t Wait” made me laugh out loud the other night, nailing it in a humorously surreal way.

I’ve apparently looped myself into the late 1970s/early 80s of late. Currently revisiting this excellent Clash anthology:

Beach Boys - Surf's Up (Reprise)

This is a custom mix where I reinstate the two deleted Dennis tunes and get rid of the two dreadful tunes my Mike and Bruce, respectively.

It was said that Tandyn Almer had a hand in writing the title song. Was that true?
