If I was forced to listen to no music other than Talking Heads for the rest of my life, I would be perfectly happy. Ecstatic, even. Throw in #DavidByrne, #TomTomClub and #CasualGods and I probably wouldn't even notice anything missing.

There's a running joke among my Burning Man campmates that whenever I'm in charge of the music, I'm just shuffling Talking Heads rarities, and whenever someone puts on anything else, I demand to know which Talking Heads album it came from.

How did I miss this? I've had the album of "True Stories" since it came out and of course I knew that the film existed, but I'd not seen it until today. Very odd, quirky, and well worth seeing IMO.

This movie should be seen with a group of friends with the best sound system you can manage and the volume turned UP!
I was fortunate enough to see it in a theater.

As a huge fan of #DavidByrne I was very happy to find this interview from #60minutes last month. Lots of good stuff to see and hear in this talk with #AndersonCooper. 🎼 🎸

@stevesilberman When they finally break into the music, the sound is immediately there: yes, that’s Talking Heads. Before Harrison, it’s so cool to hear Byrne’s guitar playing! – I remember how they began with the principle of standing still on stage, but Byrne said that with Fear of Music the music got so funky they had to dance. #TalkingHeads #DavidByrne #Music

Is it just me spending a year taking #ecstacy in a bad neighborhood while working shit jobs, or is #talkingheads Stop Making Sense a clear call for guerilla #revolution to form a more equitable society? The idealism is there, in True Stories, and in #davidbyrne 's book How Music Works

Snagged this 1989 #davidbyrne #vinyl album at a record fair yesterday. It’s #talkingheads with Latin rhythms and none the worse for it. It’s also a bit comforting that he is Scottish by birth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's a while since I listened to this. Too long - it's really good.

"Once in a Lifetime" is a song by the American #newWave band #TalkingHeads, produced and cowritten by #BrianEno. It was released in January 1981 as the lead single from Talking Heads' fourth studio album, #RemainInLight (1980), through #SireRecords. Eno and Talking Heads developed "Once in a Lifetime" through extensive #jams, inspired by #Afrobeat musicians such as #FelaKuti. #DavidByrne's vocals were inspired by preachers delivering sermons.

I suddenly find myself wondering what would result from a David Byrne and Keanu Reeves collaboration.

I do not often plug things. One, I suck at it, two, most things are perfectly good at plugging themselves. For this site, I am making an exception.

We all know that there is a lot of horrible stuff going on in the world. And we do need to be informed about it so we can do something about it.

But what about the stuff that has had things done about it? We hardly ever hear about that.

A few years ago, David Bryne - ex-frontman of Talking Heads, and all-round nice guy, noticed this problem, and started a news site that focuses on solutions from around the world.

Well researched and excellently written articles about the good things in the world - giving us all a reminder of why we should keep going.

Here's the source track of Dunya Younes singing, a capella

I don't have adjectives to describe it. Something like staggeringly beautiful

Today’s listening is ‘Rei Momo’, the 1989 album by David Byrne.

This was Mr Byrne’s first solo album after calling it a day for Talking Heads and was probably his most comprehensively ‘Latin American’ album, filled with Latin rhythms and Spanish vocals complementing his own.

Interestingly the album also features Kirsty MacColl on backing vocals, presumably due to the album being produced by Steve Lillywhite.

This is one of my favourites of his solo albums!
