The new David Byrne album is brimming with magic. I can't wait to see these songs live.

This is a real fun time at the movies.
I will go see as many of these movies as Odenkirk feels like making.

It is astonishing how many podcast hosts can’t pronounce important names around the thing they are talking about. I make an effort to get this stuff right but honestly it takes very minimal effort in this day and age.

Hey everybody I am hosting a fun night of comedy and music next month, it happens in Los Angeles & no one who is paying me has cut off anyone’s head* if that is a dealbreaker

I love how pre the current film so many people were all “Superman… gee it’s just impossible to make that character interesting or compelling”, as if he hasn’t been in continual publication over multiple titles for almost 90 years. Pretty sure some folks had solved that one.

Why would he want to? It limits the set list to songs he wrote decades ago and the bassist and drummer hate him. He still plays plenty of Talking Heads songs now and his solo career is probably at its peak of relevance and popularity.

I don't get the point of asking people questions you know 1000% what the answer is going to be ahead of time in interviews. Why the hell would David Byrne want to do a Talking Heads reunion tour? Does he have to get it written on a t-shirt and start wearing that to press?

My first time in Alabama! 🤩 Such a fun trip to Muscle Shoals to play a songwriters’ showcase at WC Handy Fest alongside these legends Sinead Burgess, Blake O’Connor, Melanie Dyer and @jeremydylan.bsky.social. Got to town early to see the phenomenal FAME Studios — so much history in those walls. ✨

Seeing this argument a lot less but I like the topic, so I'll mosey on in...

"Superhero movies are today's westerns."

No.

1. Westerns were never tied to a small handful of copyrighted and trademarked properties

2. Westerns are wildly versatile and can be made for a fortune or a shoestring

Who else is Vince-ing this Thursday at the Ryman?

I would very much like Fantastic Four production designer Kasra Farahani to come redecorate my house.

The NYT has produced a handy list of literally the last things I want to do

Superman Twonks

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

It’s so funny how much of my life was spent seeing message boards and Wizard Magazine fancasting Fillion as Hal and he ends up playing Guy

Loved Gunn’s approach to the Clark/Superman character. Dialing up the personality instead of equating goodness with blandness was the key.
My only quibble - Clark Kent is absolutely a country music fan not a pop punk dude. His bedroom should’ve been Brooks & Dunn and Chris Stapleton posters.

Randomly flipped through my copy of Kingdom Come and happened to come across this page. Weird how timely a story from 30 years ago is.

*Hovering over the play button, looking at their side mirror*
“Watch out, here she comes!”

Resign and resign being spelled the same but meaning the exact opposite must be a huge asspain for music journalists.

Some great news to wake up to, an album I produced ‘Choking on Fuel’ debuting on the Australian ARIA Country Chart at #20
Thanks to everyone who’s been listening to and buying this record, so proud of Imogen and of this album.

I woke up today to the news that we have debuted in the Top 20 of the Australian ARIA Country Chart! To be honest, as an independent artist, I didn’t even bother checking the chart until somebody sent it to me. :’) I’m so incredibly proud and grateful for how this record has been embraced. 😭🩵🇦🇺

There’s nothing less cinematic than insert shots of iPhone screens. No wonder everyone wants to make period pieces these days.

My annual gatecrashing of the pod is here, joining @chrishewitt.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social and Sophie Butcher. Talking Brian Eno, James Bond, shark repellent bat spray and more.
Everyone should go to a cinema and see M3GAN 2.0 now!

Last time they had to recast Bond there were so many great candidates that I would’ve been happy with at least five of them (Craig, Owen, Isaacs, Jackman, Elba and I’m probably forgetting people).
This time it’s a struggle to think of people who really fit. Suave is generally in short supply.

New Soundboard audio discovered, there was already an excerpt a while ago, but now it's complete The Beatles - Grugahalle, Essen (Soundboard/25.6.1966 - New)

Beatles Soundboard recording from June 25th, 1966 has "dropped". Enjoy!

Finished Susan Morrison's incredible Lorne Michaels bio yesterday. That man is never retiring.

I had the increasingly rare pleasure of seeing Buddy Miller play and sing some songs last night and it really brought home what makes him such a genius - impeccable taste. It's not what he can play or how he can sing, it's just unerring perfect choices about what to play when and when not to play.

I'm not a big 'the song we need right now' kind of person, but boy I wanted to feel the things I felt listening/watching this new David Byrne single.
