David Byrne - one of Scotland’s finest and Talking Heads are a great band. And she Was and Road to Nowhere are another couple of their songs you might have heard before
Of course, now I have the chorus of Psycho Killer going round and round in my head 😁
One of the things I like about you Shaina, you never fail to surprise in the varied avenues you choose to explore and challenge your readers with! I learn something interesting every time!

Firstly, Mindhunter is soooo good. I wish David Fincher would direct more TV shows. His direction, shots etc are so distinctive and amazing. (Edit: Jonathon Groff is also stellar, as is Anna Torv. The performance of Ed Kemper by Cameron Britton is chillingly good.)
Secondly, thank you for the education on that song! I love Talking Heads but have never investigated the origins of the song. David Byrne has such a characteristic voice/intensity. I love it. I also now have Psycho Killer swirling round and round in my head.
Oh another thing we have in common! I love Talking Heads and David. He has a newsletter now and is a huge campaigner for Good News. One of my favourites of theirs is This Must Be The Place. It has me in tears or close every time I hear it.

A Randy Newman / Alice Cooper match-up. Very glad to know this detail--and all the rest. Thank you for this delightful deep dive, Shaina!

Thanks Shaina, thanks so much :) my 93 mixtape is on again! Posted the inlay on notes ;)
Hard to imagine Alice singing those words as he is about to putt for an eagle!
