Talking Heads - Remain in Light album cover. Four band members with their faces blocked out in red.
Their fourth album may have been born under punches, and may still raise questions over its authorship for the band’s exceptional rhythm section – but it hangs together perfectly, and it never seems to age.
Many Happy Returns to #TalkingHeads' Remain In Light, which turns 45 today

This is *such* a good book. I've always really liked the Manics, I'm a fan, but @keithcameron2.bsky.social's Revolution in the Head-style approach - replete with insightful contributions from Bradfield and Wire - made me appreciate them anew. My @bigissue.com review will be published soon.

Some thoughts on 'This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll' by @danielrachel.bsky.social due out next month through @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social
A thread 1/9
A vital, chilling, and impactful documentation of pop music’s incessant obsession with Nazism and the culture's willingness to look the other way...
With 168 SONGS OF HATRED AND FAILURE, @keithcameron2.bsky.social ‘has crafted the definitive account of this remarkable band’s discography to date – one that demands to be heard in full.’
Observer review by Lewis Huxley observer.co.uk/culture/book...
Collected my pre-order of the new Manic Street Preachers book from @bookhaus.bsky.social today.
Looking forward to reading it (while listening to the corresponding songs if I can!)
Heading to Leeds next month for Small Distractions Literary Salon, where I’ll be in conversation with Amy McCarthy. Come one and all.
