This week on Teenage Kicks, we celebrate Talking Heads, the band which got it start alongside Ramones, Blondie, and Television at that dingy little club called CBGB. David Byrne and company's music has aged nicely. Their masterpiece, More Songs About Buildings and Food, is set to be re-issued this week in a deluxe format, so Bill DeVille will feature a good handful of tunes from this album.
