David Byrne's exhibition Furnishing the Self - Upholstering the Soul ended in Nov '06, but you can still see lots of his selected works on Pace/MacGill's gallery website. Fabulous.

This is my favorite American Afro Funk album from the 80's. Danceable, funky, quirky, arty, and urgent, just like the times in which it was composed in.

Gang of Four came on hot and heavy on their early recordings, "Entertainment" contains many of their signature pre-Euro tracks, the sound is all raw energy, perfect for dancing or smelting in a Black Sea hotel.

Ever since discovering the WFMU program "Radio Freetown" I've been hooked on African Funk. Lucky for me there seems to be a lot of music in the genre out there, I tend to look for collections like this one, which makes driving in L.A. an intoxicating experience.

Miles Fisher's cover of "This Must be the Place" is just awesome. It one ups Byrne's original imo. The video borders on genius too.

The other way NV3 differs from its predecessors is in the arrangements of the songs. Aside from the reggae and bossa nova interpretations, the songs are also inspired by country music and bluegrass. For this is what they do best; they take the songs that you adore and make you fall in love with them all over again."

I got this as a free app from itunes, it's like having an Eno version of the magic 8 ball at my fingertips. Oblique Strategies (subtitled over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas) is a set of published cards created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt first published in 1975, and now in its fifth edition. Each card contains a phrase or cryptic remark which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma situation. Examples: State the problem in words as clearly as possible. Only one element of each kind. What would your closest friend do? What to increase? What to reduce? Are there sections? Consider transitions. Try faking it! Honour the error as a hidden intention. From the introduction to the 2001 edition: These cards evolved from separate observations of the principles underlying what we were doing. Sometimes they were recognised in retrospect (intellect catching up with intuition), sometimes they were identified as they were happening, sometimes they were formulated. They can be used as a pack, or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear...

It's the gentle approach to percussion, the swaying melody and soothing vocal approach that makes this recording compelling and dare I say it--danceable
