David Byrne says VOTE!
8 months ago

Not that you, my fellow American MOGgers, would need convincing (right???!), but David Byrne just issued this missive urging you to get off your ass and vote today. In just a few hours I'll be placing my vote. Will you? If you haven't already and don't plan to, you're an idiot who deserves any shit that comes your way for the next four years.David says...Pardon the bulk mailing. I Can't Vote. I...

What's Your Ear Worm?
about 1 year ago

An Ear Worm is that song that you can't get out of your head, so much so, that its kind of annoying, no matter how much you like the song, its plays over and over again in your mind's ear, long after you stopped looping it over again in your favorite media player.This version of the Talking Heads song Artists Only, from SNL, is IMHO, the best version of this song - and has caused it (on only a ...

ive watched the talking heads dvd 'stop making sense' probablalbalably 5 times in the past week. its just that good. with an ever-growing stage and energetic david byrne, the concert delivers hit after hit like some lunatic tai boxer. however, since it was filmed in 1984, no 'road to nowhere'... insert sad face here. but i cant complain. as by watching this, i realized that live versions of son...

The greatest American rock'n'roll band of all time is Talking Heads. And the main guy isn't even natively American. Pathetic, huh?The first track on the first Talking Heads album is a pageant of contempt. It's addressed to its listeners, it's about its listeners, it sneers freely at its listeners, it defies its listeners to realize the fact. "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town." Everything you need...

Funky Friday - The Talking Heads?
over 2 years ago

I feel a special kinship with Mr. Byrne. We are both skinny and awkward looking. But he has a 1000 x's more rhythm than I ever will. I remember an interview around the time "Stop Making Sense" was re-released on DVD, the interviewer asked him what surprised him listening to the old stuff, he replied (paraphrased) that he was surprised just how funky they were back then. So I submit to you a...

Once Twice In A Lifetime(that's how I wanted the title to read) There was a great article in the Life & Arts Sunday paper (remember those??) yesterday. Arts/Culture reporter Ron Rollins expanded a plug for Tom Moon's new book "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die" into a lament for the bygone days the local record store, and how much missed are the environs of musical discovery that were co...

The day I met David Byrne.
7 months ago

Almost as exciting as the day I met Peter Hook. I have been a Talking Heads fan forever, just like New Order...so it actually started the day before he played a packed house at Wells Fargo Center in Santa Rosa CA. We met up with David's band during the day for a shoot and caught him on his bike ride through the city. Imagine yourself stopped in traffic...and David Byrne passes you by on a bi...
