	LuaKa BoP: David Byrne
		David Byrne is primarily known as the musician who co-founded the group Talking Heads (1976-88) in New York.
		Byrne’s record label Luaka Bop, which was founded in 88, has evolved from a label specializing in "world music" compilations to one with emerging acts such as Cornershop, Geggy Tah, Susana Baca, Zap Mama and a host of Alternalatino bands such as Bloque, Los Amigos Invisibles and King Chango.
		David Byrne has been involved with photography and design since his college days, but has only recently begun to exhibit and publish his work.

	David Byrne show opens at MoCA by Seth Rogovoy
		Byrne was on hand for a press conference and an invitation-only opening, at which he greeted visitors and mingled with the crowd while they walked through the sprawling exhibition, which includes color photographs, a laser-disk show, a model cityscape and a soundtrack.
		Byrne spoke of the difficulty he faces escaping being pigeonholed as a musician and being taken seriously as an artist -- even though he is a product of art school who has exhibited work in galleries throughout the world.
		Byrne, who admitted that he finds some of his work "amusing and darkly disturbing at the same time," said when he began working on the series, he noticed a common thread among the drug paraphernalia, the inspirational phrases and the pretty landscapes.

	David Byrne and the (bogus) PowerPoint art debate [DJ Alchemi] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		There are interviews with Byrne, plus samples of a few of his PowerPoint slides, from NPR (including 5 minute streaming audio feature) and Wired.
		They are radically more abstract than even a presentation from the likes of fellow musician and artist DJ Spooky: Spooky's intent is to convey perspective and information rather than Byrne's abstract collage of text, image and iconography (and, anyway, Spooky uses the upmarket Keynote instead of PowerPoint).
		David Byrne seems obsessed by anonymous business-people; or more particularly by the anxiety that they might be happier than him, the highly-wrought [mops brow] artist.

		Byrne's writing in Strange Ritual is similarly consistent with the work he produced with the Talking Heads (and as a solo recording artist).
		Travel-diary entries suggest, in retrospect, Byrne's influence on Generation X novelist Douglas Coupland, as much for the comic aridity of the language as for the fascination with salvation and consumerism.
		Byrne's photos present: stocked supermarket shelves in L.A., piles of plastic Buddhas outside a temple in South India, the colorful contents of a Japanese vending machine, a Portuguese man's crucifix collection.

		David Byrne, on the intended use and unintended consequences of using PowerPoint
		David Byrne, best known as the lead singer for the '80s rock band Talking Heads, has collected his PowerPoint art into a book and DVD with original songs, Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information.
		The musician says he hadn’t planned to do an entire multimedia art project using the program, but he created a presentation a few years ago and says he was struck by the negative effect it had on the way people communicate.

		This is a one-man-band job for David Byrne (lead singer of the Talking Heads), who writes, stars, and directs, It's ostensibly about the sesquicentennial celebration of a small Texas town, but it's really about strange characters and strange attitudes.
		Luckily, that big city college rock musician is David Byrne, who narrates the film from a properly outsider perspective wearing cartoonish Western garb and addressing the audience directly from his cherry red convertible.
		David Byrne himself is definitely the most prominent one...as others have said, his commentary is quite funny to listen to, and I get a kick out of the intent expression on his face as he delivers these strange remarks.

		After years of experimenting with salsa and strings, David Byrne returns with a cohesive record that catches him at his incohesive best: the stream-of-consciousness lyrics, the sly rhythms, the unexpected bursts of melody.
		Discounting David Byrne's 2003 soundtrack recording LEAD USNOT INTO TEMPTATION, GROWN BACKWARDS can be seen as the third installment in a trilogy that began with 1997's FEELINGS and found the former Talking Head moving away from his world-music obsession towards a kind of eclectic, intellectual chamber-pop.
		David Byrne creates the type of songs that only he does - which makes it difficult to describe his music.

		Conceived and birthed in the conventional manner amidst the natural beauty of Dunbartonshire, David Byrne was transplanted away from his homeland at the age of two when his father received an opportunity for a job in Canada.
		These three releases also marked the first collaborative efforts between Byrne and Brian Eno, a partnership that resulted in a denser, more complex sound for the Heads' recordings (although it also created some tension within the band -- a result of the pair's tendency to assume credit for the other members' contributions).
		During the 1990s Byrne extended his range of activity even further, exhibiting his photographic and design work on an international scale and creating a number of public art displays using billboards, subway posters and questionnaries.

		While the Talking Heads catalogue has been repackaged more often than the government's immigration policy, David Byrne has kept moving decisively forwards as photographer, entrepreneur, author and musician.
		On his current tour, he surveys the breadth of his career, from Talking Heads to music he wrote for dance companies or movie soundtracks to the new songs, and it's striking how successfully he makes it sound all of a piece.
		Around him are drums, bass, percussion and the six-piece Tosca Strings, the latter providing prologues, counterpoints and instrumental colours in places where Byrne might once have used a variety of synthetic processes.
