Whatever Wednesday

I've been curious as to the origins of a certain Talking Heads live album called Monkey Business.  My brother brought it as an import and it is very hard to find the original now.  I was able to track down that this was actually a bootleg of a concert, although the sound quality is outstanding.  It is by far my favorite album of Talking Heads music.  Here is the album cover that I was able to track down.



  I'm not one for owning live albums.  For a long time, I hated when bands put out live albums because they didn't sound at all like the recordings.  But this is different.  A lot of the songs are similar to the live album "Stop Making Sense" but after listening to both, I felt and still feel that Monkey Business is the better sounding album and has the most energy with the crowd noises involved.  I'd say "Go take a listen at Spotify" or wherever else you can go listen to music for free, but this is no where to be found.  I will have to post some examples comparing the recording to Stop Making Sense and see what everyone else thinks.

In the meantime, here's "Found a Job" from the famous "Stop Making Sense" film.
