Talking Heads: Fear of Music is my favorite LP. "I Zimbra" is a dancefloor KILLER! I also love "Born Under Punches". You can't go wrong with the early stuff and also check out "Deep Sleep" by B52s and the My Life in the Bush of Ghosts LP Byrn/Eno. "Regiment" is amazing. Talking Heads / Tom Tom Club and that whole Compass Point Studios era of music is soooo damn good. Also check this:

Sheila, the film Casey mentions is arguably the best concert film ever. Find the biggest screen you can and watch it in the dark, like a theater. You'll also see the Tom Tom Club at work, if you can call it that. There's an interview Janet Maslin did with David Byrne and director Jonathan Demme that you can find on youtube well worth watching for insight into their documentary process.

@djsheilab She was lovely. Duetted on Sometimes it Hurts. Tindersticks used a track she'd recorded with them years ago and redid it on their last LP, and even five years later Stuart, the singer, was visibly upset talking about how much he missed her and how much she meant to them.
