I remember when everything was called New Wave. The Sex Pistols were New Wave. Dont remember a distinction until punk went hardcore early 80s.

The only Talking Heads record I've ever really embraced is the "Love Goes to Building on Fire" 45rpm. Pretty sure I still have it. From the first album and beyond, though, I just never got the band, except for bits and pieces. Yet I adore My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

  9:12pm
Dean:

Traveled to London in late '76, where I purchased the first Pistols' single in, I think, a Woolworth's or British cognate.

First Modern Lovers album is certainly proto-punk. I mean, "Road Runner"? "Pablo Picasso"?

"Stab your back!..." is from one of the greatest punk records of all time, DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED. I adore that album, still.

Remain in Light, for me, has moments, owing mostly to the musicians who augment the core band. But I can't endure it in full. It's mostly Byrne, who is always too clever by half. (WTF that means.)

"Remain In Light" was no less than a (musical) life-changing event for 14-year-old me. It introduced me to African polyrhtyhms and made me appreciate funk. Western beats would always seem too simple. i went from there to Sunny Ade, then to Fela, and here we are.

To me, Modern Lovers are rock. And yeah, and I could hear them as proto-punk. But.... I knew lots of people who got into the Modern Lovers, easily, who were made uneasy by punk. I don't know... everybody's has a separate history, I'm beginning to think

There's also a song "Velvet Underground" from one of his albums ... from the 90s I think?

Richman recorded a tribute song called "Velvet Underground", but really only the earliest Modern Lovers are Velvets influenced, e.g. "Roadrunner" is basically a "Sister Ray" rewrite.

Seems to me both Richman and Reed exhibit both of these qualities on occasion, other times not.

@Dean Both? Neither? I think a performer can absorb a repertoire of performance mannerisms and then employ them unconsciously and spontaneously. I also think someone like J.R. is remarkable for not ever having done so. He's not the only spontaneous and sincere performer.

i had to scroll up when i saw what y'all are talking about because i just don't see any connection between VU and JR. the music isn't even slightly similar (at least to the early, good, velvets) and Reed's personality was quite outside himself much of the time; whereas richman was/is all about himself.
i cannot imagine Reed tolerating richman if they where in the same room.
Avatar 9:45pm
Scraps:

Reed admired Delmore Schwartz, a very conscious artist. I believe Reed was a conscious artist. Part of being a rock star was being an unconscious artist. Reed navigated those waters awesomely.
  9:46pm
Dean:

Trusting one's lying eyes is, pretty much precisely, willingly suspending disbelief, isn't it? It's a characteristic of the audience, not the performer. But "performance mannerisms"--are these the same as techniques? I think of, say, Cecilia Bartoli, a supreme mezzo-soprano who is obviously steeped in training and technique, a quality that emerges when you hear her sing. Yet spontaneity doesn't suffer to my ear.
  9:47pm
Dean:

Pretty sure Richman deliberately emulated VU early on.

Should I leave out Reed's romance with Laurie Anderson, one of the most conscious artists, a self-conscious artist and reveling in it, of our time?

Avatar 🇰🇷 Swag For Life Member 9:51pm

One can't be an unmannered artist and fall in love with a highly mannered artist? Maybe Reed's blank affect became schtick and maybe it didn't.

the modern lovers' first album never reminded me of VU. it's much more traditionally structured; more based on early rocknroll.

Tune in tomorrow morning at 9am (eastern) for Amanda's show, Nazario Scenario. She will be presenting a tribute to Joe Raposo:the original music director of Sesame Street and celebrated composer of popular tunes for TV, films, Broadway and more. A three-hour extravaganza with all the bells and whistles!
