David Byrne

After years of loving the Talking Heads I saw that David was touring again for a new solo album. I had admittedly heard very little of his solo stuff but decided to go. If nothing else it was a chance to see a living legend. This was the American Utopia tour (before it had been on Broadway or HBO). It was the most incredible display of joy, dancing, and choreograph set to the sounds of Talking Heads, David‘s solo material and beyond (A very powerful Janelle Monae cover).

how music works – david byrne

How Music Works by the Talking Heads frontman, David Byrne, is a super engaging deep dive into the foundational aspects of what actually makes us consider music as music, the ever-changing and subjective process of music creation, and the transcendent power that music holds within different cultures. Sprinkled in between are passionate excerpts of Byrne's music journey as part of the Talking Heads and how different music from a variety of countries has influenced his own style. The thing I appreciate about this book and most non-fiction is that you can pick it up, read a few pages and then return to it a few days or weeks later. Though the book packs a lot of information, it reads more like a personal essay than just a bunch of facts about music history being thrown at you.

RE-REC'D BY @nakedbb

The way I want to elope, tell no one, not even family. Announce a wedding a year later, and then announce that we're already married and have been for a year during the reception is my dream scenario. I also want to do the same thing with a pregnancy (just keep it secret until the kid comes) but that'll be a bit harder :/

Eloping

It’s not just for marriages

I feel like all music nerds join their college radio station because their friends no longer want to hear them rave about some underground artist who hasn't made music since 2011... I'm one of those music nerds. Listen to particollective every Wednesday from 7-8pm PST on 22westmedia.com - davyn
