Did you ever see that "Twilight Zone" where the guy signed a contract and they cut out his tongue and put it in a jar and it wouldn't die, it just grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues? Pretty cool, huh?
Where do i start with The Talking Heads?

Sorry, nvm.

To contribute, i asked the same question about The Grateful Dead a while back and the general response was that American Beauty and live recordings from '69 to '71 were a good start.

Where do I start with Ween? I don't know much about them but they seem really interesting.

Definitely The Mollusk. I listened to it after seeing it mentioned in the obscure bands thread. It was a great jumping block and I absolutely love them now.

Where would one start with Frank Black's solo career?

I would listen to them in this order:

1. Frank Black & The Catholics
2. Frank Black
3. Teenager of the Year
4. Bluefinger

After that listen around and see what style suits you best. Definetly include Honeycomb and Black Letter Days for a Charles Thompson weirdness meets Country fusion. It works surprisingly well. Or you could download a few of the frank black podcasts and chase down the albums of the songs you really like :3:
