LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 8, 2019…ON THIS DATE IN 1980 THE TALKING HEADS RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘REMAIN IN LIGHT.’ THE ALBUM WAS POWERED BY THE SINGLE ‘ONCE IN A LIFETIME’ AND THE VIDEO WAS ALL OVER MTV (BACK WHEN THEY ACTUALLY PLAYED MUSIC VIDEOS). THIS ALBUM IS OFTEN CONSIDERED THE EPITOME OF TALKING HEADS ALBUMS. IN 2017 THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS DEEMED THE ALBUM “CULTURALLY, HISTORICALLY, OR ARTISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT” AND SELECTED IT FOR PRESERVATION IN THE NATIONAL RECORDING REGISTRY. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED VIDEOS FROM THE TALKING HEADS. HERE’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘ONCE IN A LIFETIME’
