Every once in a while my brain will decide that there's some obscure song that I just have to have. This time it's Talking Heads "Love / Building on Fire" a.k.a. "Love Goes to A Building on Fire." Not the one on Talking Heads: 77 but the one that was a b-side to something. I had a copy of it on the anthology album "Attack of the Killer B's" which came out in the mid-80s. I'm not sure if the version I want is on Popular Favorites 1976-1992/Sand In the Vaseline or if that version is the same as on 77.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm fairly sure that song wasn't on '77 unless it was put onto an expanded version. There's a great live version on The Name of this Band is..., or at least the expanded version CD I have. I'm not sure which one is on the Favorites CD or the box set that came out a couple of years ago.

I own Sand In The Vaseline and the version on that is 2:56 if that helps. Says it was recorded at Sundragon Studios, NYC.

You're right. And I just checked my iPod and saw that my 77 doesn't have it, so I'm not 100% that version is not the one I want.

Yeah, that version has always been there.
The version I want has trumpets and what-not....

Sand in the Vaseline's version has horns.

Ooh. That's pro'lly the one I want. Thanks.
Of course, Sand in the Vaseline is mostly songs I already have. Lemme' see if iTunes has it....

I'm listening to it right now. I'd send it to you, but I only have it on CD right now. If you need instant gratification, iTunes is faster!

I just heard that the Village Voice laid off Robert Christgau.

iTunes has a partial copy of Sand in the Vaseline but it has the song I want. Plus some (maybe all) of the other songs I don't have.
I love the ability to just buy the tracks I want from an album....

heard any good tunes lately?
I downloaded a Smithsonian Folkways album of Colombian music that is wonderful. I have been downloading tons of latin/mariachi and South American stuff lately and this is the best I've found so far.
It's called Si, soy llanero: Joropo Music from the Orinoco Plains of Colombia: >[link]

I've been waiting for him to either quit or get fired. I think he has been doing some great stuff lately, too.
