My favorit song on Drella is "Smalltown." Maybe because I grew up in a small town (OK, on a farm near a small town). Plus I like the syncopation.
My other faves are "Work" and "A Dream."
Today I purchased Tom Verlain's Flashlight and Talking Heads' Naked. I used to own Flashlight on CD, but sold it years ago. I decided I wanted it back.
I was losing interest in Talking Heads when Naked came out, so I've never owned it. But there are a few songs on it I like.
Also, when the fuck are they gonna release The Name of This Band is Talking Heads (a live album) on CD?
Correction: I'm listening to the CD right now, and the song I was thinking of is "Images", not "Work". Cale's crazy viola is nice, but Reed's up front vocals distract.
Nitpick: "Arts at St. Ann's," not "St. Anne's."

Cool!
edit: Plus a shitload of extra tracks not on the original release....
Flashlight is a fuckin' great album.
Flashlight is a fuckin' great album.
I just listened to it, and wondered why I ever sold it.
Hey, I understand. I've gotten rid of albums that later left me wondering what I could have been thinking.
Odd request.
Does anyone happen to have the lyrics to Dave Alvin's "Dry River" right now?
Human lives may hang in the balance.
Sorry, Victor. All the Dave Alvin in the house is with the Blasters.
Sorry, Victor. Though oddly enough I was
just
looking at some Blasters stuff on the interpipe and saw a Blasters video on cable last night.
