There is a whole plethora of words commonly used to describe the Heads.  Influential.  Distinctive.  Artistic.  Original.  Conscious.  Minimalistic.  One word that hardly ever gets used is "booty-shaking."

So, lend an ear to "Crosseyed and Painless" and get your little groove on.

This is part of a week-long series on the music of the Talking Heads.

It's Talking Heads week on the MaxBlog.  I've been snatching up their recent DualDisc re-releases like crazy of late (DualDisc = CD on one side, DVD on the other), so it seemed like a good time to celebrate the influential (and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted) New York quartet of art school hipsters who, unlike so many hipsters, are actually hip.
