when you’re looking for a song, and it’s really hard to find and you’re looking and looking and finally you find it, and it’s downloading so slowly, and all you have is the name of the song to go by, and you’re imagining how incredible it must be, and you have this idea of it in your head. Before you’ve heard it. Apparently this is how Talking Heads wrote The Overload on Remain In Light - based on an idea of Joy Division, even though no one in the band had ever actually heard Joy Division.

I love Born Under Punches from that album; here’s a live performance of it in Rome, 1980. Sometimes classics are best.
