+ What is Stop Making Sense?

Stop Making Sense, recorded in late 1983 and released in 1984, is a live album and accompanying concert film from the Talking Heads, and one of the greatest albums ever made. But that's not really what you meant is it? It is also a Record Collection set during, around, or otherwise relating to the Surrealistics War, with each entry titled after a track from the eponymous album.

@@ @@

+ Okay, so what is the Surrealistics War?

Well that's a little more complicated of a question. Any answer is going to be somewhat roundabout and unsatisfying, but it's a non-linear, decentralized conflict between unclear parties and for unclear ends. Ultimately, how it looks depends entirely on when, where, and who you happen to be.

@@ @@

+ So what are the vibes of the series?

Surreal, strange, weird, other synonyms therein. There is little in the way of coherent through-line between pieces, the war being what it is, but squint hard enough and keep doubting what you see and it might make some semblance of sense to you. If it does, please seek assistance immediately, we already told you to stop that.

@@ @@

+ Can I contribute?

Patience.
