The David Byrne/Talking Heads Reunion at Coachella 2009 Thread

[SoulDischarge]

I love the "Mea Culpa" video.

[sbessiso]

Adding The Catherine Wheel to that list. Also, Pat, it was "Fear of Music" that you told me I needed right? I've been on such a serious rampage this week, it's SCARY

that video is intense

[SoulDischarge]

Don't worry too much about that one. Fear Of Music is a must though.

[Quadromarshia]

Fear of Music is tied with More Songs about Buildings and Food for me.

Both are desert island discs for me though

[jazzz]

hm. sorry about that


Two records to pick up (non-live)- Grown Backwards, and Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, w/Brian Eno.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts is one of my favorite albums period, but I wouldn't start there.

Otherwise get a copy of "Live from Austin, TX". That's got a good smattering of his songs.

My Life In the Bush Of Ghost is hard to beat. I do like what you recommend but I also like Rei Momo, Uh-Oh and The Catherine Wheel records a lot.

Also I think David's got the problem w/ Tina Weymouth & Chris Frantz from what I've read over the years but never heard the real reason why... I was thinking it was because they were a couple. Does anyone know? I would be happy with David Byrne at Coachella but let's no forget that Tom Tom Club put out some great stuff!

Sbessiso you got to listen to David Byrne's record "Rei Momo" since your from Miami! great latin/heads feel. Makes me want to be on vacation!!

[sbessiso]

gaaa, now i'm being overwhelmed, but I'll add it to the list. on that note, sorry jazzz but fuck miami with a rusty pole. adding Miami to something makes me want to burn it and piss all over it. phew. pardon that

[jazzz]

I think I know what your saying... but I think Miami got some great Latin jazz & Flordian/Cuban food that I love to check out when I'm there. (few hookers too)lol

Find a place called 'Latin America'. It's somewhere around the area of FIU, and it has seats outside. The food is great, and the Argentine steak is both delicious and cheap.

It was an integral part of my Cinco de Mayo celebration!

[sbessiso]

FIU North or South?

[Quadromarshia]

Uhm... the area near the miami-dade fairgrounds... near a big shopping plaza...aaaand it's where the dorms are all Key West style

[sbessiso]

thats gotta be FIU South. Sorry Quad, fuck that shit. None of us venture that far from the beach. it's like another planet away

[Quadromarshia]

Amsterdam has a few Argentine Steak restaurants that are amazing.

the place I hit in Miami has a outside patio with a walk up to order. serves beers and great latin food. Can't think of the name maybe Pluto's or Rickys... Lots of freaks walking by... fun.

[BlackSwan]

hmm... ok.

salah, wait you don't have all the Talking Heads albums yet?

[sbessiso]

I have almost all of them, im pretty sure all im missing is fear of music.

i have remain in light, speaking in tongues, 77, ..buildings and food, naked, and little creatures

[BlackSwan]

ah, ok. fear of music is crucial... should be #1 importance.

[SoulDischarge]

Do I smell-- I smell home cooking. It's only the river! it's only the river!

[Foucault]

You could watch it too...



I will regret missing that show for the rest of my life.

OMG: Was that the Raiderettes on stage with him and his band? I regret missing that show too, damnit.

[JSam67]

<----- Obviously (see avatar pic), I am on board with this idea. And while a Talking Heads reunion would be the greatest single show I think I could ever attend, I'd loooove to see even just Byrne there this year. And I think it will happen.

How about a little Byrne --> Bowie on Sunday? I'm pretty sure I'd die.

They were called the Ultra-Action Marching Band and describe themselves as being an "Alternative" marching band from San Francisco.

naked and little creatures can wait. memories can't (but that's another story)

wow... that would be the most epic of the epic.

[kitt kat]

gah that video was AMAZING

[Quadromarshia]

haha for real.

that was my introduction to david byrne/brian eno collaborations

Could Byrnes' ego handle playing as a subheadliner to Bowie?

[sbessiso]

Byrne was barely a subheadliner at ACL

[sbessiso]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm seriously debating this, if I were to go, I would HAVE to get the pit (most expensive) tix. I'm just not sure if I can/want to spend the $$$

someone convince me!!!

[Quadromarshia]

David Byrne has an ego?

I think you're mixing up his not willing to reunite with TH (mostly Tina) as him being above them or something. Well he's not, he's just a dick.






But not as much as Morrissey
