    I was a regular customer there for many years and contributed a small amount to the Kickstarter campaign to get the film made.  I am truly not am obscure music snob, and I never felt intimidated there.  I saw a great live set by Calexico there years ago.  I miss that place a lot.

     

    Oh I am sure the intimidation was as much about me as it was them.  The time I went in I was rushed and I couldn't quite figure out how things were sorted and wasn't sure what I was looking for.  I spent a lot of time in that neighborhood from '86 to '88 and had it been around then I am sure I would have been a regular.

    I watched a great documentary last night on the NYC record store, Other Music.  It's on Amazon Prime (called "Other Music").  I think everyone who posts on this board would enjoy it. 

    Ha! I watched it last night and really liked it.  I only went in there once and found it somewhat intimidating.  Oddly, the documentary doesn't mention (unless I missed it) that Josh Madell, one of the owners, was the drummer for Antietam for many years.

    I'm sure it's a labor of love.  Those first four Talking Heads albums are incredible.

    They really are.  And so different from each other.  

    I'm enjoying the book - but it definitely seems like Frantz needed an outlet to publicly vent about Byrne.

    That looks like a good first show to me.What do you remember most from the night?

    Random thoughts/memories:

    • There were not many people on my high school into the Dead so it was fun to see this scene
    • People cheered loudly at the "I wish I was a headlight" line in I Know You Rider
    • I knew drums/space was a thing but didn't quite get it
    • I was surprised at how quiet it was during parts of Wharf Rat
    • And I really remember leaving and wanting to see them again
