Man, if they had included Wild Wild Life I would totally try to reenact the scene from True Stories at my next Rock Band party. If you consider yourself a Talking Heads / David Byrne fan you should know exactly what I'm talking about.
It's about time there was some more Talking Heads love. Hopefully they get put up more. ALOT more. I'd settle for a "Sand in the Vaseline' greatest hits cop out, just let me dance around like a jack ass!
Yes! I was just recently thinking about how some more Talking Heads was needed, and that Once in a Lifetime would be a blast particularly!
Rage Against the Machine is even better! Disappointed to see only one song, and that the chorus will have to be censored, but I'll take it! :D
That's gonna be an expensive week for me then. Probably get everything except Oasis. Very excited about Once in a Lifetime and Town Called Malice.

So is John Goodman.
