Someone has uploaded the entire concert video for Talking Heads' 1980 appearance in Rome. There's never been a musical group that inspired me as much as Talking Heads. Every album, every track, all the solo projects... I'd trade all the music in the world for their canon. This is amazing footage, the Heads performing with incredible verve and energy. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to this show.

Songs performed:

* Psycho Killer
* Stay Hungry
* Cities
* I Zimbra
* Drugs
* Take Me to the River
* Crosseyed and Painless
* Life During Wartime
* Houses in Motion
* Born under Punches
* The Great Curve
(via MeFi)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
