Blurb: "Storytelling Giant is a work composed of all ten Talking Heads videos made over the past decade. They are connected by random, unrehearsed, spontaneous footage of real people talking. None of the people are actors, and all of them are wearing their own clothes. Many of them know nothing of the Talking Heads, and sometimes they tell stories that have nothing to do with the band's music. Yet, somehow, their stories bring the Talking Heads music into another place. A place of giant lizards... A place where little girls sit on clouds. A place where everyone has enough to eat... And the government provides hairdressers if you can't afford one. A giant man walks into a bar. He begins to wrestle with three nuns. A man with a toupée stops them, and they begin to speak."

レビュー
18年前に編集されました"Same as it ever was..."
The sleeve's blurb just about sums up this little masterpiece - a compilation that lends itself perfectly for gloomy moments alone in bed, late at night, when outside is dark and inside is darker. Gathered together here is a decade's worth of the band's music videos, brilliantly connected by seemingly unrelated, random, and spontaneous footage of ordinary citizens telling stories. These unrehearsed moments and anecdotes share the same quirky feel of David Byrne's film "True Stories", from which the videos for "Wild Wild Life" and "Love For Sale" are taken. Byrne directed several of the videos himself, and the band members appear in several guises throughout... Chris Frantz as Garth Brooks, Jerry Harrison as Billy Idol and Prince while Tina Weymouth plays Apollonia - and that's just "Wild Wild Life"!
Also, for some reason, the car towards the end of "Crosseyed And Painless" never fails to make me think of the movie "Repo Man", which has nothing to do with any of this.
"I was born in a house with the television always on." I hope this comes out on DVD someday!
