GUITARCHIKS: TOM TOM CLUB. Tina Weymouth, bass player featured in last week's Talking Heads post, also leads Tom Tom Club with her hubby, Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz.

I first heard Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" whilst riffling through records at Discomat, just north of Penn Station. I was hooked instantly. Here's the video.




And here's good footage of "Genius of Love" from Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense.
