| I love that David Byrne keeps his passion eternally flamed and

| For those who haven't he has two pretty interesting books,

| Thanks for this. My most frequented playlist is "feat David
| Byrne", which has exposed me to some great artists.

| David Byrne is currently on tour and my wife took me to the show
| as a bit of a backup plan (her usual concert-going friends fell
| through). I think concerts are okay, but I usually get bored
| after awhile, which is why I serve as a backup guest. I'm much
| more of a visual person, I suppose.
|
| I was unprepared for how wonderful the show was. I was quite
| literally tearing up during the very first song from the beauty
| of the visuals that accompanied the musical performance, and it
| maintained almost that level for the entire show.
|
| He's really a generational talent.

| I think if you're interested in that video, the American
| Utopia concert movie is the better watch.

| I'm new to Mr. Byrne and am looking forward to exploring this,
| but I do wish there was a stream I could put into my AntennaPod.
| I notice the term radio is shifting towards separate podcasts
| nowadays.
| ericmcer wrote:
| There are still like... artists who created all the stuff he is
| curating. Spotify/Itunes at least gives them a little something
| for their music.
| dybber wrote:
| This is curated playlists, not a podcast. I was confused by the
| name at first as well.

| The Byrne 'solo album' number Big Business [1] has long been my
| favourite track (actually outtake) from Stop Making Sense.
| Byrne's eclectic collaborations and willingness to learn from
| others (eg Fela Kuti) have always amazed me.

| Very cool, I wish the blogs on his site supported RSS like his
| Reasons to be Cheerful blog.

| The story Stephen Tobolowsky tells (and Byrne confirms) about how
| Tobolowsky inspired the song Radio Head, which gave the eponymous
| band their name, is so good and complex that a comment cannot do
| it justice. Google it and sink in if this is your thing.

| Wow, love this - and how Byrne keeps creating interesting
| projects in the digital age. How did I not know about this

| You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful song?" You
| may ask yourself, "What's next in the playlist?" And you
| may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?" And you may say
| to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"

| The 10-year-old me is still trying to understand why altering the
| lyrics of his song, in the metadata of a WMA file, does not
| change what's heard on the record... Byrne has to be a landmark
| in the personal history of many of us with computers.

| Meh ... David Byrne outside of The Talking Heads just isn't that
| great.
