A dupla tocou a música I Should Watch TV pela primeira vez na TV, como David Byrne já havia anunciado na manhã de ontem. "A importância de tocar essa música na TV está fazendo uma coisa engraçada na minha cabeça. Nós nunca fizemos isso, obviamente. Espero que tudo saia bem", escreveu Byrne em uma newsletter enviada a seus fãs. Você pode conferir a apresentação abaixo [...]

Artwork by Francesca Bonifacio Yesterday, we unveiled your picks for our 2012 Reader's Poll , and today we're continuing our year-end coverage by revealing our Honorable Mentions. 2012 was a great year for music, and it was tough to only choose 31 albums, so we made sure to include some picks that we enjoyed but didn't quite make it on our list . Be sure to come back to the site everyday for the rest of the week to see our Best EPs and Best Songs of 2012, along with our personal picks [...]
All week long we’ve been looking at our staff’s choices for the best albums of 2012 five LPs at a time. Our submissions include all styles of music from bluegrass to jazz, jam to indie, electronica to rap, as well as everything in between. At the end of the day, we’re a music blog.

We’re in the home stretch, so let’s check [...]
So this is it. Whilst John Lewis, and Nigella Lawson, and all those other odious household bods and sods build up to Sufjan Stevens' excessively beloved time of the season , here's us stealing their mistletoe and smooching with your attention. Right? Below be ten veritably bulging gifts from we to you. There: have at 'em. Early Christmas pressies. Free of charge. Or that's at least 'til the BMI enforce the absurd licensing regulations long since menaced, when we'll henceforth trawl the annals of our analytics and embark upon a marathon knock-a-door dressed as Mr. C circa Sycophant Slags, [...]
It's time again to look at those songs we all need most; the ones that make our work day faster. This is the annual Caffeinated Consciousness list for 2012! It is time once again to compile the list obligatory's Caffeinated Consciousness list. Those of us who have to keep [...]
Love This Giant is the new collaboration between St. Vincent and former Talking Heads singer David Byrne. As I said when I first posted about it in July, this seemingly strange pairing made perfect sense to me since they share a flare for the eccentric. The album as a whole doesn't quite live up to [...]
The term "supergroup" is often used to refer to a set of musicians who are best known in association with their respective bands - musicians who haven't necessarily operated as solitary acts in their own right, and are culled together to see what their individual untapped energies will create when synthesized. By contrast, when speaking [...]
El tema no se agota. Al disco Love this Giant de David Byrne y St. Vincent siguó como consecuencia lógica la gira, la cual arancó hace un par de semanas. Éste es uno de los discos que más ha dado de que hablar este año. Y es un buen álbum. Para los que sigue todo lo relacionado a esta colaboración, he aquí un tras bambalinas que nos deja ver no sólo cómo es un ensayo para la gira, sino también la tensión -positiva y profesional- entre Byrne y Clark.
It may take a few glances to pinpoint what exactly is off about the cover art on Love This Giant , a new collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincen t released September 10 on 4AD and Todo Mundo . The former Talking Heads frontman and the beautiful indie pop star, pictured in black and white suits, make a striking pair - and once you notice their slightly modified jawlines, that off ness becomes not a bad thing, but simply a random weird addition to [...]
Cuando David Byrne comienza con un nuevo proyecto, todos escuchamos. Sobre todo si involucra a la talentosa Annie Clark , más conocida como St. Vincent . Desde que estos dos anunciaron su disco colaborativo, Love This Giant , estuvimos interesados en ver cómo mezclaban sus excentricidades y si el disco tendría algo de coherencia. Estuvimos mal en dudar. Love This Giant es un disco sólido, construido alrededor de instrumentos de viento , que combina muy bien los talentos compositivos de [...]
David Byrne & St. Vincent “Who” I've been busy these past few weeks, so several things I wanted to post about have slipped through my fingers. I've decided I don't care if I'm behind the rest of the music blogosphere because late is better than never. I've been looking for some new dance moves to bust out at the clubs I'm pretending I go to for the sake of this joke, for some time now. I think the herky jerky [...]
[photo courtesy of Amanda Hatfield ] "Heads up out there, this is David Byrne. During our show, we welcome picture taking, video recording, audio recording..." Whoa. From a taper's standpoint, that was some of the best news I'd heard in a long time. David Byrne's opening announcement at all of the shows on this current tour with St. Vincent has included that invitation, which we happily accepted for the Williamsburg Waterfront show on Saturday night. As these two amazing musicians tour in support of their collaborative album Love This Giant [...]
On Thursday the 20th of September, we attended a show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto that far surpassed our expectations. David Byrne and St. Vincent delivered a concert full of musical twists and turns along with beautiful arrangements. As they entered the stage, the twelve piece line up featuring an eight-piece brass section broke out into a refreshing version of their first single Who . David Byrne and Annie Clark took turns trading off on old classics and new favourites. Ranging from St. Vincent's lovely Marrow to Talking Heads' Burning Down the [...]
This new David Byrne & St. Vincent collaboration is quite horny. Get it? WATCH THE REVIEW
Watch/Listen here: I have always loved David Byrne's voice. Whether solo or Talking Heads, it is so distinct, quirky and cool. Throw in St. Vincent's crystal clear vocals and you have something special. The video is also awesome and strange and funny. A can't lose proposition! Lyrics here, more below: Who be my valentine? Who lift this heavy load? Who share this taxi cab? Who wants to climb aboard? [...]
