first post is going to be weird, but hello people,
I like david byrne, i'll post random videos of him from my archives, that perhaps i haven't seen people post & also screenshots. maybe gifs. just david byrne special interest and love!
also this is my little david byrne shrine thing, maybe shelf? I have many more merch, but I don't have the space to display it...
David Byrne performing an early version of Empires in Stockholm, Sweden in 1994. Unkown date, possibly october 1st or 2nd. Ripped from a bootleg CD called No Titles Please. You can hear him say at the end "Thank you, that's another one that's not on a record."
Of course as soon as i posted this i found an even earlier version buried in my archives. This one was performed in 7 Willow Street, New York, USA in October 28th 1993.
David Byrne performing Don't Want To Be Part of Your World (hehe my favourite Rei Momo song) in Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, 23 october in 1989 . Extremely bad quality (lots of echo), but it seems to be the only live performance of the song avaiable to hear. If anybody has other live versions of this song, reblogs with links/videos would be greatly appreciated!
âShhh⊠was an âinvisible exhibitionâ which took you on a sonic journey through the V&A. From the magnificent Raphael Gallery to the grand Victorian stairwells, a diverse group of leading artists and musicians â Cornelius, David Byrne, Elizabeth Fraser, Faultline, Gillian Wearing, Jane and Louise Wilson, Jeremy Deller, Leila Arab, Roots Manuva and Simon Fisher Turner â created unique responses to the objects and spaces in the museum.â [x]
David Byrne performing Dreamworld live the 3rd may 2009 (according to the song data). Not sure exactly were; leads i've looked either said it was at Radio City Music Hall, or it could be from the limited edition DVD from 2010. No videos exists
Tumblr doesn't let me add more than 10 mb of audio so i'm reblogging - David Byrne's cover of Don't Fence Me In by Cole Porter from the same concert

David Byrne - Sock It 2 Me - Live From Teatro Gran Rex (1998) [source / full concert]
Byrne has been listening to Missy Elliott's Spelling Bee, from This Is Not a Test, on his iPod a lot. "She has this incredible sense of humour, and Timbaland's beats are really innovative: they might be made up of clapping and some weird synthesizer squiggles," he says. Missy Elliott has a way of putting strange ideas into the mainstream - a recent big hit, Work It, featured a chorus line played backwards. "She's way ahead, and she's part of that hip-hop world but she's also laughing at it. There's a track called Let Me Fix My Weave that's hilarious: she's telling us not to take all this stuff too seriously."
David's playlist
Can Missy Elliott's surreal imagery and bawdy humour really be an inspiration for Byrne's more reserved style of song-writing? "I don't sound much like her, but I wrote the song Dialog Box [from Grown Backwards] while I was listening to her, so I guess she was a lyrical inspiration. I'm using other people's music if I can all the time. I don't want to obviously sound like something else, but I need records to get me in the mood. Records become a great tool in that way." [The Guardian, 2004] *
DB: "Dialog Box started as another little ballad, like some of the others, but as an experiment I tried a bigger beat and there was no going back. I was actually listening to Missy Elliott's last few records when I was writing that one - no musical effect, but for instance, this verse:
"Gonna test ya / With a gesture / Do I feel ya? / Are ya scared?"
Probably came from âWork Itâ. Am I in trouble now?, I donât think so." [The L Magazine, 2004]
randomly googling my beloved senior musicians to make sure they're ok
David Byrne talks a little about his drawing process and his voice is very soothing.
I dont think nobody ever posted this continuation of the video about the Saul Steinberg and David Byrne crossover
David Byrne interviewed about Music For "The Knee Plays" on Wired (28 July, 1988)
"He's right! Love and kindness are a form of resistance." [scurries backwards to grab his guitar] "wuuuaAAAH!" [chuckles]
david byrne posting this while in the midst of the Backrooms movie hype/being released is funny timing.
i wonder now how a David Byrne still life would look like, i'd really like to draw it
