Stop Making Sense (OMR3021's Most Important Post Ever)

Do you like my posts? Have you ever thought that you and I have the same opinions about the world? About music? Film? Anything? Have I recommended things to you that you've really dug?
I only ask cause people have said that to me in the past on Shroomery.
And let me tell you, if I could only recommend one thing to you for the rest of my life, it would be that you purchase the DVD copy of Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense. I'm a fan of all mediums of art, but this concert DVD is essentially my favorite thing on Earth. If I could never do acid again, Stop Making Sense would become the new acid. If I could only watch one film for the rest of my life, I would choose Stop Making Sense.
Stop Making Sense is brilliance made concrete and tangible and visible. It IS a trip, It starts with a bare stage, and one man, and one instrument. With each song, the concert grows. More people, more instruments, more complexity. Until it peaks, and it peaks, and it peaks, and GOD it blows your fucking mind away into another place.
I don't know anyone who I've shown Stop Making Sense to who didn't walk away with "WOW" written all over their face.
So pleae, do us all a favor. Stop Making Sense.

Talking Heads = Key
-------------------- The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away, but if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth... bloodflower6 Yay for Pornography!

I will record to watch this video in my brain memory drive Talking Heads. Hah. That's funny because the aliens always talk about how when humans talk to each other it is like they are talking to each others heads instead of the whole body. Because we in the 3rd dimension compartmentalize or fragment our consciousness into three 'levels': conscious, subconscious and unconscious, and the head represents the conscious mind archetype. When we are in full awareness we will communicate to each other without the compartmentalization of consciousness, so instead of talking to heads, we will be talking to the whole body as an integrated unit for soul and physical body.

Yonder Mountain String Band is fucking awesome.
I haven't heard much Talking Heads, at least not much I can consciously recall, but if they are as good as everyone says then I will. I can't miss out on good music.

i concur on the yonder being fucking awesome.
i have a friend who plays mandolin in a bluegrass band (greensky bluegrass) and he is very resentful of the mandolin player in yonder mountain.
"sure," he says, "if i took that much coke i could play that fast too!"

sorry guess I just can't keep up with all of it There's so much music out there nowadays, and I'm into everything that I like, which is a lot, so it's hard to know everything. I know I've heard Heads before but I don't remember ever owning any of their albums or anything.
