I put the Tom Tom Clubs, Close to the Bone in heavy rotation a few times a year. I think they are about as underated as I think David Byrne's solo work is overrated.

Don't get me wrong, David's stuff is good and there are a few good cuts on every album. He's put out a lot more work than his fellow Talking Heads alums have but his stuff doesn't fill me with the joy that Tom Tom Club can.

Give the album a listen.

Hot Chocolate's Emma is my new favorite sad jam

The closest Starbucks to me was playing Dave Matthews on a loop and it was almost enough to get me to go to the library for free wifi. But that shit is slow as fuck. Two different Starbucks are now playing Tom Tom Club. Which makes me think they have a top down approach to music in their stores. And maybe someone in Seattle noticed me bitching about Dave Matthews on Twitter
