David Byrne & St. Vincent @ Williamsburg Park, 2012 ( more by Chris La Putt) St. Vincent and I did a North American tour last fall --with 8 brass players and choreography by Annie B Parson. We had a great time. The response was pretty good too--you can see reviews here. NPR even shot some video, which you can see here. We do songs from our record, Love this Giant , but also some fairly well-known stuff from our respective catalogues. It's an expensive [...]

One of the most well-received tours of 2012 was the pairing of David Byrne and St. Vincent. The duo put together a dance/groove-heavy show in support of Love This Giant. Apparently, one tour wasn't enough as they will hit the road again this summer for an extensive cross-country tour.

Yesterday, as my KPM proficiency was put to the test transcribing the Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon , this dawned on me: booking Bonnaroo must be a lot more difficult than booking Coachella. Just think about it: Coachella takes places over in April, and though its expansion to two weekends has undoubtedly made booking headliners and foreigners more difficult, the festival faces no competition. Fact is, there are no major music festivals that take place the same two weekends as Coachella. However, during the same weekend of Bonnaroo 2013, festivals such as Isle of [...]

On February 26 , David Byrne of Talking Heads will be teaming up with Questlove of The Roots (who's currently teaching a course on classic albums at NYU) for a one-on-one conversation at NYU Skirball Center where "they will discuss what we're taught -- and how we learn -- about music, and the way that our ideas shape the songs we create and consume," as part of The Public Forum Series. You may remember that Byrne wrote a book on how music works . Tickets for [...]

David Byrne & St. Vincent - I Should Watch TV - David Letterman © dg , 2013

I've seen a ton of "best of" 2012 lists and I decided that I wanted to do my own. I asked Eric B to share his as well, so our favorites from last year are listed below. The truth is, I wanted to do a list of my top 10 albums but after I listened to many suggestions, I could only pick five. I didn't want to pick albums which only had a few songs that I liked; that isn't enough to include the whole album on the list. These five albums are a great listen the [...]
