HEADS UP
I loved seeing Talking Heads on your March cover [Take 323]. It brought back so many happy memories: of seeing them with my sister the last time they toured the UK in July 1982 at Wembley Arena (my first concert and what a first concert!); of lugging with my friend Dom two huge hardboard ex-display hoardings of Little Creatures to our rooms while at university; and of my daughter coming into the world to “Road To Nowhere” (anaesthetist’s choice of music, not mine!). Hoping I may finally get to see them play again, this time with my daughter, who also happens to be a huge fan!
Thanks, as always, for the monthly treat Uncut always is.

SOUND AND VISION
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I consume each. I sit down to your album reviews section with notepad and pen in hand, jotting down at least 15–20 recommendations from each issue. While I usually encounter compelling music from these selections, every so often an entire album strikes a chord and I lock into the artist’s sound and vision, and for that I wish to offer my appreciation.
