Big fan of your sincere and honest reactions to music. Talking Heads were one of the early bands of the late seventies, early eighties that changed the face of rock music. This version of Psycho Killer is not the final finished track that broke the band to the world. David Byrne, arguable musical genius, is the front man, lead singer and songwriter. They have a considerable collection of great music and unique stage presentation. Concert film Stop Making Sense catches them at their popular and creative peak, and is worth a look. Keep up the good work.

It was hard to find this music back in the day. By that I mean they didn't play it on the regular radio stations. They played all of this stuff on college radio and MTV had dedicated hours for these videos and we'd tune in for it. It was so different. And we'd follow these bands as they played small clubs and college campuses. R.E.M. was one we traveled alllll over in our beat up old cars going from campus to campus for their concerts. Good memories.

Ok as a massive Heads fan I'm happy to see this. This is the raw early version of this song when they leaned heavily towards 70's punk. I love it but there are plenty of people who prefer the cleaner and better-produced sound of the actual single. I suggest you watch the concert film "Stop Making Sense", even if you are unfamiliar with the songs you will still enjoy it. It's more performance art than just straight-up concert and ranks in the top of all-time great concert films. "Once in a lifetime" "Swamp" "Life during wartime" "Take me to the river" and "Girlfriend is better" are all personal favorites.

One way to make sure you get the final studio version that everyone knows and loves (not that this is a bad version) is to get a video that has the album cover as the still image. That's what I do just for my own personal music listening on KZfaq. Got tired of browsing through different videos looking for the right version. The album cover is 95 percent likely to be the one.

TINA WEYMOUTH IS A GODDESS AMONG BASS PLAYERS Welcome to New Wave, sir. There's nothing quite like Talking Heads out there. Next stops: "Road to Nowhere," "Once in a Lifetime," "Burning Down the House," "Take Me to the River" (a cover, but *goddamn* is it an excellent one), "Wild Wild Life," "(Nothing But) Flowers" (follow it up with Guster's version; they're both wonderful), "Girlfriend Is Better" and "Life During Wartime." Pull the last two from Stop Making Sense if you can; it's one of The live album experiences. David Byrne, the lead singer, has done some solo work since the group disbanded. My favorites of that are "Tiny Town," "Hanging Upside Down" and "Now I'm Your Mom."

This was quite a good song. It was deserving a bigger production. On that first chorus they should have given a warmer more choral backing and lift the roof - then transition back down to vivid sharpness for the next verse. That would resulted in a more celebrated song today.
