in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) November 27, 2008 5:53 pm

Eno had written the music that appears here as far back as eight years ago, but invited Byrne to contribute lyrics, vocal...

David Byrne's Still Happening

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 30, 2008 11:46 am
I'm a huge sports fan, so it would have to take something pretty important to make me miss watching the potential final game of baseball's World Series and the season opener for basketball's Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Well, in my universe, David Byrne is important. The veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist and his talented troupe of...

David Byrne — Grown Backwards

in
By The Mouth (CHARTattack) March 16, 2004 9:41 am
If anyone had told us that the guy that wrote, sang and nerded out onstage to tunes like "Psycho Killer" and "Once In A Lifetime" would end up recording operatic arias (with Rufus Wainwright no less!), we would have laughed heavily and then returned to our bleak world-view. That is, however, just what David Byrne has done with...

LISTEN: Talking Heads' David Byrne and Will Oldham are The Pieces of Shit

in
By Jon Pappo (CHARTattack) November 17, 2011 4:44 pm
This Must Be the Place stars a haggard looking Robert Smith-esque Sean Penn, playing a retired rock star turned Nazi-hunter. I know, you’ve totally seen this movie like a million times before, but bear with me. The film’s soundtrack features a rather unique collaboration between Talking Heads leader David Byrne and folk weirdo Will Oldham, who...

David Byrne Disses U2

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 28, 2009 3:36 pm
David Byrne has attacked U2's spending for their 360 Tour, even though the tour is inadvertently "subsidizing" his current European tour. Byrne recently played a gig at a small venue in Warsaw, Poland. Normally, the venue wouldn't be able to pay for the gig or cater it, since it's being promoted by Live Nation. But since Live Nation...

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) December 5, 2008 4:35 pm
Just listened to Talking Heads' Remain In Light (1980) in its entirity on my iPod, man... if that's not one of the most brilliant pieces of vinyl ever recorded. The careful merging of American New Wave/Punk with the growing interest in new world rhythms powers this album to new heights compared to their previous album, Fear Of Music (1979)....
