Maybe every city has a unique sensibility, but we don't have names for what they are or haven't identified them all. We can't pinpoint exactly what makes each city's people unique yet.
From David Byrne
I can't deny that label-support gave me a leg up - though not every successful artist needs it.
Domination and monopoly is the name of the game in the web marketplace.
Some folks believe that hardship breeds artistic creativity. I don't buy it. One can put up with poverty for a while when one is young, but it will inevitably wear a person down.
The city is a body and a mind - a physical structure as well as a repository of ideas and information.
I cycled when I was at high school, then reconnected with bikes in New York in the late '70s. It was a good way of getting around the clubs and galleries of the Lower East Side and Soho.
Before recording technology existed, you could not separate music from its social context.
Occasionally, I hanker for the time when I sold more records, but I don't sit and drool about it. When I do look at early footage of Talking Heads, I realise I was just a wreck.
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
