DJ comments: Chris Frantz started his professional music career after befriending Rhode Island School of Design classmate, David Byrne. They originally named their band The Artistics. He later convinced his girlfriend, Tina Weymouth, to play bass for the band, which they renamed The Talking Heads. The couple married in 1977 and created the band Tom Tom Club as a side project in 1980.

I read that Byrne, Enos and Weymouth lived together when they first moved to New York City. I can only begin to imagine the nights had in that apartment. [Insert suggestive antique car horn sound.] — BJ

Since I didn't play "Heaven," I figured I'd post the video. I. love. this. song.
