WELL FOLKS, I’VE WRITTEN ANOTHER MUSICAL

by David Byrne

So, what is it about this time? This show is about Joan of Arc—a story everyone sort of knows, or knows something about anyway. Everyone certainly knows how it ends, which I like—it means that everything that happens will feel like an irrevocable tragic advance toward a preordained ending.

David Byrne and Mavis Staples are two legends who come from vastly different musical traditions, but they’ve got a long history with each other. And it’s a history built around one song: “Slippery People,” a twitchy and gospel-influenced jam from the 1983 Talking Heads album Speaking In Tongues.

NAN N N N N

September's installment of DB Radio is a beautiful mix by Sarah Jones (of Pillow Person and Hot Chip). The mix is inspired by Sarah's grandmother, Josefina Suñé, who was a sword fighter from Bilbao that helped refugee children flee the Spanish Civil war, and immigrate to England. Mrs. Suñe loved flamenco, copla and other traditional Spanish music, and without knowing how to speak English, came to communicate with her granddaughter through music.

David Byrne Presents: Latin Alternative Now

In 2019 I went to Mexico City to join Cafe Tacuba for one song in their second MTV Unplugged show- I’m a big fan of what they do and the unplugged show did not disappoint- almost every song was in a different style! Gustavo Santaolallia was musical director- he’s also exec producer of the Break It All TV series, so, it’s all connected. I also got to meet Natalia LaFourcade who is also featured on this playlist and on a recent song exploder episode.

Viva Mexico Part 1

I was asked to compile a playlist of some of my favorite Mexican music for a proposed public art exhibition in Mexico City.

Here is part one.

The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge

Some great new stuff has come out recently. Sophie (a DJ moniker) does a warped ironic take on pop that works as pop at the same time. Raury's new record is amazing—why isn't this guy huge?
