This week I talk to Queen of Australian radio Zan Rowe about
Talking Heads ‘More Songs About Buildings and Food’. We chat about
David Byrne’s outsider appeal, the new wave funk sound that defined
Talking Heads, the album’s dystopian predictions and capitalist
lyrics, producer Brian Eno’s contribution to the album and delve
into his Oblique Strategies cards.
Zan tells us about the first time she met David Byrne, his
wonderful sense of curiosity and we both commiserate over missing
his last tour.
