You likely know this by now, but My Life... was actually recorded before Remain In Light. It makes more sense as a sort of warm up to their masterpiece rather than a follow-up. The band supposedly wrote "The Overload" as their concept of what Joy Division might sound like, having not yet actually heard them. "Listening Wind" is by no distance the worst track. It's freaking eerie and haunting, and just another strong track in a nearly flawless masterpiece. Nice article. You likely know this by now, but My Life… was actually recorded before Remain In Light.

It might be the best thing I've ever seen written about Talking Heads. Thank you. Five years after you wrote this, with the music playing in the background, it made my day.
