[net.music] Talk Talk

Is anyone out there a fan, or even a listener, of Talk Talk?
As far as I know, they only have one album out ("The Party's Over")
and their best-known song is "Talk Talk".  My feeling is that the
band they sound most like is Duran Duran (how fitting!), except
that Talk Talk is much better.
Anyone know if I got all that right?  Anyone have any idea what 
I'm talking about?

Is this the same group that had a song in the movie Night Shift?
I just saw that for the first time and think Talk Talk was listed on the
credits.  Being bad with names, have there been other songs that have been
played at all that I would recognize?

Right you are!  Talk Talk's single "Talk Talk" was in the
movie "Night Shift."  I had the misfortune of seeing these
guys live two summers ago when they were opening for
Elvis Costello.  They were terrible.  All their songs sound
a lot like "Talk Talk."  Thankfully, they've been pretty quiet
since then.  (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

i don't think that's true at all.  if you have heard their album (which i
think i quite good) you would realise that a lot of their songs are much
slower than "Talk Talk."
