NPR Music released their 100 Favorite Songs of 2012 list last week, which features songs by Bearden's John Fullbright and Tulsa native St. Vincent . John Fullbright, "Gawd Above" Americana music's fiercest young contender speaks the word of a pissed-off deity in the punchiest slice of sacrilege music had to offer this year. "Gawd Above" is included on Fullbright's album, From the Ground Up . [...]
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 [...]

David Byrne (Talking Heads) & St. Vincent have come together to give birth to Love this Giant. The collaboration is somewhat odd to tell you the truth. Then again, Byrne is not known for having "normal" sense of music panache. The album cover, which was inspired by Beauty and the Beast , also speaks to the type of music they gave birth to. The album, in itself, uses a lot of brass instruments, which gives the music a natural feeling around its heavy techonology loops and [...]
DAVID BYRNE AND ST. VINCENT ( Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall , 1037 SW Broadway) It's tediously predictable that Love This Giant blew my fucking mind. Consider the facts: Over the past five years, each album released by David Byrne (one) and St. Vincent (three) has sparked to life previously unknown synapses in my brain. So it's unsurprising that a collaboration between two such brainy rockers would be the best thing that's happened to my ears in 2012. What is surprising is how warm it soundsâpositively inviting. David Byrne and Annie Clark of St. Vincent typically tend [...]

Thursday, October 11th Busdriver, Nocando, Open Mic Eagle at The New Parish Busdriver is a rapper by profession. At least, that's what he calls himself. He's more [...]

Tickets to the all-ages performance range from $39.50 to $65 and are available here. Below, watch a music video for their song "Who." The Afghan Whigs' much-anticipated reunion tour ...

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? [...]

David Byrne, How Music Works David Byrneâs new manifesto slash memoir, How Music Works , has been written many times before. Ethnomusicologists and philosophers, from Theodor Adorno to Walter Benjamin to David Suisman, have chronicled the historical shift from classical to popular music, lamenting it, praising it, and/or evaluating the societal changes brought about by it and its corresponding technology. Byrneâs book, which illustrates the history of analog and digital recording, narrates the advent of the music industry, and claims to describe how to create a music scene or subculture offers [...]

Fall has finally begun, and with it, yet another wave of amazing bands are in town playing venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn.  After releasing their collab album Love This Giant two weeks ago, David Byrne and St. Vincent  will put the new songs on display with three shows planned in the city this week - two at Beacon Theater and one at Williamsburg Park.  Other highlights this week? Ty Segall , Craft Spells , Dirty Projectors (in Westchester), Grizzly Bear , Dirty Projectors [...]
If there's a lesson to be learned from Love This Giant , it's that collaboration is the sincerest form of flattery. If there's a lesson to be learned from the David Byrne-St. Vincent joint production Love This Giant, it's that collaboration is the sincerest form of flattery. The patron saint du jour for this generation of art-minded indies, Byrne has been an in-demand special guest star, including a cameo with Arcade Fire and a charity compilation track with Dirty Projectors, the most obvious heirs to the head Talking Head's legacy. Indeed, Byrne's influence on today's too-cool-for-school...
Our reviews on music today talks about an album is a whole bunch of nothing.andnbsp; Except for two songs "Who" and "The One Who Broke Your Heart." andnbsp; The rest of this epic event pairing of David By

The Avett Brothers â The Carpenter (Universal) O que um carpinteiro faz (alĂ©m aparecer em vĂĄrias histĂłrias)? Ele pega a rusticidade da madeira e talha, esculpe, modela, e com um toque de verniz, arredonda as pontas, retira as farpas e faz da madeira um produto final, domado. Nesse caso, o carpinteiro dos irmĂŁos Avett Ă© definitivamente o produtor lendĂĄrio Rick Rubin , que fez de The Carpenter o ĂĄlbum mais suave, confortĂĄvel e acessĂvel do grupo de "indie-bluegrass". Mas essa aparĂȘncia domada nĂŁo Ă© um ponto negativo em si, [...]

Who - David Byrne & St. Vincent Behalve boeken schrijven houdt David Byrne (voormalig opperhoofd van Talking Heads ) zich dus ook nog bezig met muziek, en dat leidt dit jaar al tot het naar verluidt erg mooie album Love this giant , dat hij samen met St. Vincent uitbrengt op 11 september. De eerste single daaruit, Who , [...]

Music videos! They are good again sometimes. It's a great time to be alive. This week, our three favorite clips include an experimental short film by Dirty Projectors, Azealia Banks' stylized throwback to 1991 and David Byrne absolutely spazzing out in his St. Vincent collaboration "Who."
