:: Music & Muse

Eclectic. That best describes David Byrne. Many of you know David as the force behind the Talking Heads, one of rocks all-time great groups. Sure...they did some stuff that bordered on strange. But, as genuine avant garde's of progressive music, they produced some of the most inspiring music of the past thirty years as well. Remain in Light still remains as one of my five top LP's of all time..

A friend of David's, recently moved to California, wrote him in New York and commented on the lack of musical diversity on the radio. So what did David do? He set up over three hours of streaming audio on his site to benefit the culturally challenged..

Music by Pink Floyd, REM, M.I.A., Outkast, Randy Newman, Thlonious Monk, just to name a few, can be heard 24/7 on 'Radio David Byrne'..

It get's my recommendation.. www.davidbyrne.com/radio

This guy has taken his mp3 player, loaded a few songs, and recorded them backwards. That's nothing earth shattering. But the 'rumors' of what a few songs - played backwards - actually say can be put to rest..

Listen to Led Zeppelins 'Stairway to Heaven' backwards a see if you don't get cold chills.

Later....
