Today we're featuring the interview I recorded with David Byrne last fall, founding member of the band Talking Heads, one of the seminal bands of the punk new wave period of the seventies.
They werent exactly punk, but they werent like any band that came before them.
They recorded eight albums between 1977 and 1988 when they stopped playing together.
When we spoke last fall, the 40th anniversary restored edition of their concert film stop making Sense had just been released with a remastered soundtrack.
Many music critics and fans consider it among the best concert films ever made of.
Byrne went on to record solo albums, collaborate on experimental theater pieces with Robert Wilson and Spaulding Gray, and a ballet with choreographer Twyla Tharp.
He still has the record label he founded in 1988, Lwac a Bop.
His first releases were compilations of brazilian music, but then he expanded into african pop and later jazz and gospel, as well as his own solo albums.
Spike Lee directed the film adaptation of his 2019 concert Broadway show American Utopia.
He won an Oscar as one of the composers of the score for the Bertolucci film the Last Emperor and was nominated for one for the song he co wrote with Mitsky and son Lux for the 2022 film Everything everywhere all at once.
That's a long way to go from CBGB.
It is a long way to go.
