Why does the single look like there's a dude with a penis head? A preview of The Talking Heads Family, A to Z, coming soon to what should be your favorite blog . . . 1. Psycho Killer-Bushwalla. I'm going to post a crapload of covers this, the definitive postpunk Talking Heads tune, nihilistic, weird, and with a French refrain that sounds vaguely pornographic (even if it isn't). 2. Psycho Killer-Jason Isbell. A staple at the former Drive-By Truckerser's (yes, that is [...]
I love to keep track of the tiny webs of musicians that seem to keep popping up in my life, reminding me that although the music world is growing at an exponential rate, it isn't THAT huge.

In most cases Locust Walk is the perfect venue for the ideas expressed there. I [...]
"She puts eggs in her orange juice/Coffee in her tea/ Puts olives in her jelly/Says that's the way it's gonna be" For the past few weeks I've been working at a music supervision company in New York .
