Insidieusement Les Elfes - atmospheric jazz funk
Over the last couple of days I complained to multiple people about how Facebook and Twitter and Instagram are like... bad but not inherently so, they’re just so cluttered with bullshit meant to keep you on the app rather than operate as a launching pad (or you know... a platform) to jump off of and follow interesting ideas and whims and are always needlessly limited in what they allow users to do and if they were actually trying to make a platform that allowed people to connect to each other based on interests and compatibility it would have more tools to share articles, art, photos, videos... then I realized I was just describing Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. It’s always been Tumblr.
So I guess I’m on Tumblr again

On this day in music history: October 15, 1984 - “Stop Making Sense”, the seventh album by Talking Heads is released. Produced by Gary Goetzman, it is recorded at The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, CA in December 1983. Recorded during the tour in support of the bands then current album “Speaking In Tongues”, the album is issued as the companion piece to the live concert film directed by Jonathan Demme (“The Silence Of The Lambs”, “Philadelphia”). The band’s main line up is augmented with additional musicians including Bernie Worrell (keyboards), Alex Weir (guitar), Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt (backing vocals). The original LP release contains only nine songs and is heavily edited in order to fit it on one album, and also comes wrapped in a full color picture book. In 1999, an expanded edition of the album is released featuring the complete performance, matching the contents of the fifteenth anniversary theatrical re-release of the film. “Stop Making Sense” peaks at number forty one on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified 2x Platinum in the US by the RIAA.
