Happy 45th birthday to one of the greatest albums of all time. Talking Heads released Remain in Light on this day in 1980

Wildly excited about seeing @edwyncollins.bsky.social not once but twice in next few days. A real hero of mine. Found a few of my old fanzines and a family heirloom with an Orange Juice flavour this morning

Released 40 years ago today, how it all came about could fill a book. Soon forgotten at the time by all but a few. Always grateful for the love still out there though, what a difference (a mere) four decades makes πŸ˜„

Unbelievable band- and yes probably even better now than when I first saw(and loved) them

All good things to factor in- also can you store tools
There and and cycle etc - maybe the boy will enjoy being there- mine did until they were about 8

All sounds doable - go for it if you think it's manageable. Another key thing- how far from house

If small it's probably doable - I had one which was I think 10 poles in my 30s and was too much so if small may be doable but don't overstretch -
ps see you at krank!
