life changing LP

Listening to Talking Heads: 77 was a life changing experience. I remember the day it happened. It was my first day as a college radio deejay at CJAM at U of Windsor. I arrived from CJSW, U of C radio. My first shift I was handed a record. “This time of day we play a full LP; this is the one.” I was miffed. I was used to choosing my own music to play. Punk was new. Spitting, safety pins and outrage weren’t my taste, yet. New wave was in its infancy. I dropped the needle. Psycho Killer. Quirky weird nervous energy. Holy crap this is good. It all started making sense.
