"Road to Nowhere" is a song by the American #rock band #TalkingHeads from their sixth studio album #LittleCreatures (1985). The song was written by #DavidByrne and released as a single in 1985. It reached No. 25 on the U.S. Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and entered the top 10 in eight other countries.

Also, watching David Byrne's Tiny Desk Concert kind of get me into an internal debate of which versions of "(Nothing But) Flowers" is better:

The official trailer for the "Musk" movie is out. Watched it… and what made me surprisingly uncomfortable was that repeating "Sell you a dream" music theme. Not only did it sound like an a-cappella part of an 80s cliche US soft rock song, it sounded like AI to me. As if the promising movie tries to sabotage itself by using AI generated music?!
Looked it up and... hmmm. This is actually music by David "Talking Heads" Byrne. The music itself is nominated for an Oscar already - what?? It's not even out yet! Mortal humans can't listen to it right now. I know David Byrne is an iconic figure, but can someone get Oscar nominated based only on this "being an iconic figure" fact?
Apparently.
Back to my initial observations: Byrne's voice in the trailer is heavily processed up to a point where it's almost not recognizable anymore. I know I didn't, and I know his voice quite well by having listened to a lot of music by him. But why is this necessary? Does really everything has to be polished so much the polish outshines the art beneath? So much it becomes artificial?
I mean, I only know some seconds, I can't really "judge" the song yet - maybe that ArtIficial atmosphere of the music fits the imagery of the movie perfectly. I really hope so – Byrne might be the perfect guy for the job. Seriously. Then again, when going so far back into 80s/70s art wave territory: Why not Laurie Anderson? Does it always have to be a bro thing?
Anyway, first impression stands: I am irritated.

Brian Eno - David Byrne: My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
David Byrne is the singer of US band "Talking Heads", and Eno had worked with the Talking Heads before. He doesn't sing on this album.
All voices are sampled from other sources.
This is still one of my favourite albums, I used to own the vinyl record#BrianEno #davidbyrne #lifeinthebushofghosts #vinyl #vinylrecord

They went into the studio in the Spring of '79 without a producer and muddled around a bit.

💿 My Life in the bush of ghostsI have this original, but I ended up buying the reissue as it comes with an extra vinyl with recordings left in the studio at the time.
Curiosity - The track "Quran" was removed from side two on the reissues, so I keep both 😉
