Tom Tom Club was the dance/funk side project of Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz from Talking Heads fame.

Mike and Paul’s Music Blog just got tickets to see Steve when he comes through in November on the 30th Anniversary tour for this album, so seemed fitting. Can’t wait!

Fellow music blogger Christian’s Music Musing recently did a post about Toto, and it made me realize how much I loved this song at the time (and still do)!
I’m betting you haven’t heard of this band (they have 50 followers on Spotify). But that’s the great thing about the Internet. Thanks to a review from fellow music blogger The Soul of a Clown I am loving this band and song. Reminds me of The Hold Steady with a dash of Green Day
