Remain in Light ~ Talking Heads

"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."
Wim Vandekeybus, Ultima Vez Dance & Short Fiction Films - Dance DVD
1 recommendation
"Wim Vandekeybus has always had a great fascination for film. Not only has it been an important source of inspiration for his dance performances, film and video are also important media in which Vandekeybus expresses his intense imagination. Through his passion, he has created thirteen films over the past twenty years. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the company, Ultima Vez has released a..."
True Stories
1 recommendation
"True Stories is a quiet little gem that came out in the 80's. Directed by and starring David Byrne of the Talking Heads, this satire/mocumentary is to me one of the finest social commentaires on Regan Era urbanization of America, the death of the small town, and the parody that our obsession with fashion and fame can bring into our lives. Oh. And it's really, really funny. With stellar perform..."
David Byrne - Look Into The Eyeball

"This is an amazing album by an amazing musician. If you love the Talking Heads, you MUST give Byrne's solo work a listen. This is the first of his solo work I listened to; now I own everything he's done with and since the Talking Heads. I personally feel like this album is his most accessible solo to date, with the recent Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (with Brian Eno) a close second..."

I had seen the show in August 1983 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles and ..."
Arboretum

"David Byrne's new book of mental musings, Arboretum, explores the many intricate and interesting correlations in our lives. In this book, Byrne, the visual artist, explores his mental space in a tree-like fashion. Byrne explains the drawings: Well, I guess they're a lot of things. Faux science, automatic writing, self-analysis, satire, and maybe even a serious attempt at finding connection..."
McSweeney's - Arboretum
1 recommendation
"It's an eclectic blend of faux science, automatic writing, satire, and an attempt to find connections where none were thought to exist,a sort of self-therapy, allowing the hand to say what the voice cannot."
Talking Heads: Speaking in Tongues
1 recommendation
"Will this album change your life, in its entirety? No, but it's got burning down the house on it. I think that's good enough."
