"Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)" as a single

I recently found out that "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)" was released as a single in only Japan, so I made changes to that article to reflect that. I don't know where or how to insert the Japan-only single release in this (album) article without affecting the FA status. George Ho (talk) 18:38, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

The Overload

The article includes mention of the (superficial?) similarities between this track and songs by Joy Division, but wouldn't it more relevant to mention bands that TH might actually have heard, like The Stooges and Wire? Dadge (talk) 10:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

We're currently following what's on page 178 of Bowman (2001). But it sounds much too speculative to me and without any better source(s) (e.g. interview(s) with band members) I think it should probably be removed. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Genres

The text mentions nine different genres, with sources. Should these all also appear in the infobox? Or if not, which should get preference? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:09, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Attribution of “the things one doesn't intend...” quote

One of my favorite quotes of all time is cited in this article, and out of curiosity I looked it up. As currently stated, “the band's friend David Gans told them that ‘the things one doesn't intend are the seeds for a more interesting future’,” citing Brog (2002), which in turn cites David Gans's 1985 book Talking Heads.

However, Gans's book in fact attributes this statement to Brian Eno, not to Gans himself. I believe Brog has made an error. On p. 66 of Gans's book, there is a discussion of Eno's "Oblique Strategies" cards which ends with an Eno quotation about the origin and purpose of the cards, including the line that “...sometimes the things one doesn't intend are the seeds for a more interesting future than the one you had envisaged.” So this is clearly related to Eno's production philosophy, not advice personally given by Gans. (Similarly, we seem to in this article have other references of Brog's article mentioning Gans's advice to the group, which I also believe has been misattributed - Brian Eno should be the original source.)

A possible correction could be: "Eno's Oblique Strategies encouraged the band to experiment, improvise, and make use of mistakes; he described one early strategy as a reminder that “the things one doesn't intend are the seeds for a more interesting future.” (with Gans's book as reference, rather than Brog's article) Dmh430 (talk) 19:00, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
