DVD Review
As mentioned below, I got the Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime" CD/DVD box set for Christmas.
The DVD is the long out of print "Storytelling Giant" that was released on VHS originally in 1988.
It is a collection of Talking Heads music videos up to that point in the band's history, interspersed with actual real people telling real, random stories in between.
While the Full Frame (4:3) video shows it's age, it is refreshing to see true artists making videos that are visually interesting and intriguing. The "Crosseyed and Painless" is especially interesting, because it includes no footage of the actual band, an MTV no-no for airplay.
If you are a heads fan, this DVD is worth the cost of the box set. Buy it and play it till your eyeballs fall out.
