In The Groove: Revisiting Talking Heads’ ’77,’ plus new music from Squid, Theodor + more
Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.
"In The Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper inside of WDET's Cass Corridor studios.
Always a good day when you get to start off with a trio of Talking Heads songs in a row. That’s because their debut album “77” is getting the reissued/ box set/remastered/rarities treatment, including their full live show (and their last) at the legendary NYC punk club CBGB’s. The alternative version of “Psycho Killer” I played together features cellist Arthur Russell, and it somehow takes a perfect song to a whole new stratosphere.
I followed the line of nostalgia into music from Modern Lovers, Magnetic Fields and Morphine before snapping back into new releases from Soft Play, Joshua Idehen & the Social Singing Choir, Dummy, Squid and more.
