Talking Heads: 77
“- ich feier die vorstellung dass all diese new yorker künstler in den 70ern gemeinsam abgehangen & sich inspiriert haben - david byrne größter ehrenmann (les grad how music works) - glam punk art pop 🎢 - fav tracks happy day, first week.. , psycho killer - von der cadence schon richtig viel 80‘s mucke vorweg genommen, dieses aufgebauscht epische! - the answer is obvious: love has come to town hehe! - diese langgezogenen gestutterteen syllables zu nice - am ende von new feeling hehe - david byrne is der king of tension”

Stop Making Sense (Deluxe Edition) [Live]
“A vibe from start to finish. Suuuper cool concept, great show AND i still don’t know how they managed to make every (!!!) song sound a lot better than the studio version. David Byrne is one hell of a musician.”
Remain In Light
“Although once in a lifetime is one of my favourite songs ever, I really struggle to love this album. It loses me here and there which is why I can’t give it a higher score.”
