David Byrne's 1997 solo album Feelings is a tour de force and an undeniably powerful statement. More than just a pop release, it's a deeply personal, artistic statement that still balances broad popular appeal and art rock sensibilities. Featuring collaborations with Morcheeba, Devo and more, Feelings was an attempt to reconcile once and for all the duality of artist and entertainer, and luckily David came out on top in the end. Tracks: Fuzzy Freaky Miss America A soft seduction Dance on vaseline Gates of paradise Amnesia You don't know me Daddy go down Finite = Alright Wicked little doll Burnt by the sun The civil wars (Untitled) They are in love Live cover: The Model (w. The Balanescu Quartet) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I hope you enjoy this special presentation, an off the cuff impression of every song on the album in real time (so you can sync up your copy of the album, Pink Floyd style). Like the organic nature of the album, this is a straight reaction that's as unpolished as it gets, but I hope you've been enjoying the album and make it to the shows if there's a tour stop near you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Time to break from tradition and abandon the usual deep dive into a single album to cover a random smattering of side projects, collaborations, songs for theater and movie productions and other musical orphans. With the spin of a wheel we'll explore classics like "Don't Fence Me In", "Lazy" and "Pay Attention!" Tracklist: High on a rocky ledge (w. Rufus Wainwright) Si Fulano (w. Perez and Carol C) Don't fence me in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (w. Nico Landa) Speaking in tongues (w. Arcade Fire) Lazy (w. Xpress 2) Happy suicide (w. Vijaya Anand) A woman's secret (Ambient mix) How does the brainwave (w. Baby Elephant) Rio (w. Vinicus Cantuaria) Pay attention! I don't remember Just the motion For you Father Statue of Liberty (w. Marissa Monte) Fall with me (w. Paul van Dyk) Jingo do Disco (w. Tom Ze) Get confused (by Fischerspooner) Fat man's comin Live cover: Rockin' in the free world  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
By 1994 it was more important that ever that David Byrne could prove there was an audience for his unique style of art rock. After a number of high-concept albums, he returned with a more accessible yet eclectic series of tunes that not only build on the grooves on earlier projects but reach a new depth of introspection and emotional reflection. Tracks: A long time ago Angels Crash A self-made man Back in the box Sad song Nothing at all My love is you Lilies of the valley You & Eye Strange ritual Buck naked Live cover: Gypsy woman See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Meet Jason Jones from Rhino Records, he's the guy behind all your favourite Talking Heads reissues from the last few years. I pepper Jason with nerdy questions about how he approaches standard album reissues as well as expanded ultra-deluxe packages full of rarities like the newly released Talking Heads: 77 boxset that he manifested into reality. A condensed version of this interview can also be found on my newly updated YouTube channel, so check that out and stay subscribed for lots more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
