The goal of | Using the same MediaWiki technology as Wikipedia, this website aims to be an extensive, reliable, and organized catalogue of information about the band [[Talking Heads]], as well as the many other projects of its members. The goal of [[Talking Heads Wiki]] is to make sure that if you want to learn more about the band, or check for a specific detail, everything you need is all nicely contained in one location instead of spread across the internet and hard to find. The website doesn't just include the Talking Heads Wiki, but also the [[Talking Heads Wiki#Talking Heads Archive|Talking Heads Archive]] which compiles relevant media (text, photos, videos, audio), and ensures that it's all very accessible and searchable. One of the main goals of this website is to tackle the common issues faced by fans in the community, where they're looking for something they saw months (or years) ago, but they can't remember what website they saw it on and maybe it's not really something they can easily search for, or maybe they have a photo but don't have any information alongside it about what event it was from or what year it was from or who took the photo. | ||
Everything on the wiki and archive should be extensively tagged so that it can easily be found if you remember enough about it. For example, trying to figure out which Jerry Harrison song mentions Martin Sheen? Just search "Martin sheen" in the wiki search bar, and thanks to the lyrics being included it will show up! Trying to find a particular photo of the band in Japan? Just go to the archive and search "Talking Heads Japan"! Want to find out all of the random niche events that had David Byrne as a guest in 2023? There's an article that lists them all! As well as a general collection of information/media, this website aims to keep people up to date about new stuff. You can subscribe to our newsletter emails, with upcoming options to make sure you get all of the news tailored for you and what you want to hear about. Some events don't get much announcement, so people often won't know about what's coming up, like people who didn't know that Talking Heads were doing a Q&A in their city in September 2023 until after it happened, but there's also stuff that can go pretty unnoticed like some Chris Frantz radio appearances or David Byrne as a guest singer for somebody else's concert. This website wants to keep fans up to date on everything, including new releases like the recent Record Store Day vinyl releases and the upcoming Stop Making Sense releases. | Everything on the wiki and archive should be extensively tagged so that it can easily be found if you remember enough about it.
