You may find yourself owning a totally awesome new version of Stop Making Sense when Palm Pictures releases it on Blu-ray Disc Oct. 13, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads concert film. The 1984 film was shot by the Silence of the Lambs director at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood in December of 1983, as the band promoted its album Speaking in Tongues. The Blu-ray is going to include never-before-seen footage (I’m sure someone has seen it, but probably not you and I), including a previously unavailable 1999 press conference with all four members of the band, the video short “David Byrne Interview … David Byrne” and two songs not included in the film (I’m guessing these were the same two, “Big Business/I Zimbra” and “Cities,” included on the DVD). The tracklist of the film is as follows:

1. Psycho Killer
2. Heaven
3. Thank You for Sending Me an Angel
4. Found a Job
5. Slippery People
6. Burning Down the House
7. Life During Wartime
8. Making Flippy Floppy
9. Swamp
10. What a Day That Was
11. This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
12. Once in a Lifetime
13. Genius of Love
14. Girlfriend is Better
15. Take Me to the River
16. Crosseyed and Painless
