I heard about this on npr and couldn't believe it -- David Byrne is offering his current playlist as a streaming radio station. Scanning through the current playlist, I see a wide range of artists, including Rufus Wainwright, Paul Simon, Gilberto Gil, and Outkast. And that's just the artists I've heard of...
This just seems like an incredible freebie. Like the celebrity playlists on iTMS, but free. Free, legal, and filtered by a musician I respect -- sweet!
BTW, apocryphal rumor holds that Talking Heads got started in
a dark little house called the Vault, which is literally one block from here.
Maybe I'm having too much fun with google maps, but here's directions from here to the Vault.
