Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Frantz

On June 5, 1975, on the seedy stage of CBGB on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a band named Talking Heads took the stage for the first time. Unlike the Ramones, for whom they were opening, they weren't sporting black leather jackets or edgy haircuts. David Byrne and Chris Frantz had met at art school a few years before, and the bassist, Tina Weymouth, had only learned to play her instrument six months prior. But within a few weeks, Talking Heads would be plastered on the cover of the Village Voice, well on their way to utterly transforming the downtown New York music scene. After Jerry Harrison joined Talking Heads in 1977, the band would go on to radically alter rock music's relationship to avant-garde art and performance. In his new book, Burning Down the House, Jonathan Gould tells the story of how Talking Heads experimented their way to a singular musical style over the course of eight studio albums and one incredible concert film, Stop Making Sense, and he discusses their enduring influence despite having disbanded more than 30 years ago.Go beyond the episode:Jonathan Gould's Burning Down the House: Talking Heads and the New York Scene That Transformed RockRead about the origin of Stop Making Sense—and then watch it, of courseCheck out the new “Psycho Killer” music video starring Saoirse Ronan, made in honor of the 40th anniversary of the first Talking Heads performanceTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

The Talking Heads is known as one of the more quirky bands of the 70's and 80's, and terribly innovative in their approach to both music and performance.  Consisting of Tina Weymouth on bass, Chris Frantz on drums, Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar, and fronted by David Byrne on vocals and guitar, the Talking Heads helped to shape the landscape of alternative and new wave rock through the 80's and 90's.  They really hit mainstream consciousness with their fifth album called "Speaking in Tongues" in 1983.  They followed this up with the live album "Stop Making Sense," which showcased the elaborate stage setups and their visual presence, complete with Byrne's iconic "big suit" fashion wear.Little Creatures was their sixth studio album and the best selling album of the group's career.  The Talking Heads toned down their experimental tendencies on this one in favor of a more stripped-down, accessible approach.  While there are still elements of art music and new wave present in the tracks, they play a more whimsical role.  The songs blend in pop, folk, and country influences as well, giving the album a bright, catchy feel in addition to the wit and quirkiness for which the group was known.The album cover was created by artist Howard Finster, and incorporates themes of Americana and everyday life.  This complemented the songs well, and was selected by Rolling Sone magazine as the album cover of the year.The group would go on to produce two more studio albums before disbanding in 1991.  They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.Show co-founder Brian Dickhute is back to present this album in Bruce's absence for today's podcast.  The Lady Don't MindThere's a certain amount of weirdness that is difficult to explain in the lyrics of just about every Talking Heads song, and this is no exception.  This reggae-tinged song talks about a lady who is hard to pin down or figure out.  "Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and smiled.  You might think she would say something, but you'd have to wait a while."  Perfect WorldWhile most songs were written by David Byrne, this one features lyrics composed years earlier by drummer Chris Frantz.  It is a deeper cut, and a mini-love story. Stay Up LateThis track was the fourth single released from the album.  It is a song about Byrne's sister's baby, and describes an adult keeping the baby up late despite the consequences, just to have fun and enjoy this new life.  Road to NowhereThis song was released as a single, and went to number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  Byrne describes it as "a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom."  The gospel choir that leads off the track was added after the song was concluded to complete what is essentially a two-chord song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Soul Finger by the Bar-Kays (from the motion picture Spies Like Us)Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd star in this spy comedy where novice spies are sent into the Soviet Union.STAFF PICKS:West End Girls by Pet Shop BoysLynch starts the staff picks with a song about class and pressures of city life in London, inspired by a T.S. Eliot poem.  It was released twice as a single, once in April 1984 when it became a club hit, and this version as a re-recorded single in October 1985.  It went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.It's Not Love by DokkenWayne takes us in a more hair metal direction with a head banger tune from Dokken's third album, "Under Lock and Key."  This was the third single released from the album.  The video contains scenes where the band is playing from a flat bed truck, and was actually recorded on the road.  They received several tickets during the process, despite having permission to film.Magic Power by TriumphRob features a Canadian power trio from their live double album, “Stages.”  Originally recorded on their studio album, “Allied Forces,” the song describes the healing power of music.  It is one of the group's signature songs, and the live  format gives a good sense of the band's chemistry on stage.Tonight She Comes by The CarsBrian closes out the staff picks with a previously unreleased song from the Cars' Greatest Hits album, released in October 1985.  Ric Ocasek wrote the song, and originally intended it for his solo album, but brought it to the group instead.   It was their fourth and last single to be a top 10 hit. NOVELTY TRACK:Strokin' by Clarence CarterWe find out how Clarence Carter makes love in this concluding track from this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

In a terrific new book, Taste in Music, musician Alex Bleeker (of Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson (former drummer of Frankie Cosmos) cover the world of music through the foods bands eat while touring the world. In this episode, we speak with Alex and Luke about a book that brings a lot of heart and empathy to a subject that has been covered since the advent of food blogging. Any working band worth its salt cod enjoys food as much of the rest of us, filling their touring riders with subtle culinary flexes. Sure, food is the new rock and roll—and rockers love their food—but as we find out, this collection of essays from legends like Mark Ibold of Pavement, Chris Frantz of Talking Heads, and Natalie Laura Mering of Weyes Blood is more than a collection of “where bands eat”; it's an essential addition to the music writing canon and one of our favorite books of the year. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify. We'd love to hear from you.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Talking Heads joined Stephen for an epic conversation celebrating the 40th anniversary of their seminal concert film, “Stop Making Sense.” David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth share stories from the earliest days of the band, including moments that weren't shown on television (Original Air Date: October 25th, 2023).

The Talking Heads are talking again. Forty years after the release of their classic concert film “Stop Making Sense,” the movie and the band are back on the big stage—same as it ever was, or maybe even better. A remastered, 4k version of the movie was released in September, and the band is back on tour burning down the house. On this episode, host Jon Small revisits his interview with the band's co-founder and drummer, Chris Frantz, who wrote a memoir about his once-in-a lifetime experience with the band in 2020. Frantz didn't have the nicest things to say about the band's lead singer David Byrne, but apparently they're back on talking terms — and that's great news because they're one of the best bands of the 1980s. 

We can't quite believe our luck to have David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads to discuss the remastered re-release of their seminal concert film, Stop Making Sense. These guys are so lovely and humble and, of course, groundbreaking and brilliant, it really is a pleasure to bring you the interview - with a little taster of the live recordings from Jonathan Demme's film thrown in for good measure.

The newly elected Speaker of the House played a key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows appears to have flipped on his old boss. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Talking Heads join Stephen for an epic conversation celebrating the 40th anniversary of their seminal concert film, “Stop Making Sense.” David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth share stories from the earliest days of the band, including moments that weren't shown on television. “Stop Making Sense” is in theaters now, and David Byrne's new musical, “Here Lies Love,” is on Broadway.

The Talking Head's concert film Stop Making Sense first came out forty years ago, and it's just been rereleased in theaters in a 4k remaster by A24. The film finds the band — Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, David Byrne and Jerry Harrison — at the height of their powers over three successive nights at the the Hollywood Pantages Theater. As Chris and Tina remembered it when they spoke to producer Reanna Cruz, "We'd reached a state in our career and our lives when we felt, 'we've gotten pretty good at this now. We can show the world.'" Director Jonathan Demme spliced the band's performances into an eighty-eight minute odyssey beginning with Byrne solo on the stage and gradually bringing in the rest of the band and a cast of stellar guest musicians: vocalists Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt, keyboardist Bernie Worrell, percussionist Steve Scales, and guitarist Alex Weir. The film introduced landmark moments like Byrne's big suit, Demme's cinematic approach to concert cinematography, Chris's and Tina's Tom Tom Club performing the perennial sample flip "Genius of Love," and a theater-rocking version of "Burning Down the House." Stop Making Sense broke the mold of concert films and created a new paradigm for artists to follow ever since. Nate, Charlie, and Reanna take insights from Reanna's conversation with Tina and Chris on the legacy of Stop Making Sense as a guide to think through our own favorite concert movies — the Band's The Last Waltz, Madonna's Truth or Dare, and Beyonce's Homecoming — to identify the musical and visual choices that make them so indelible.

Episode Summary:In this episode of SaaS Origin Stories, Phil speaks with Chris Frantz, Co-Founder and CEO of Loops, a company that helps SaaS businesses send beautiful email newsletters and one-off campaigns in a simple, easy-to-use interface. Before this, he was a founder at Snazzy AI (now Unbounce) and the Director of Digital Strategy at Curiosity Stream.They discuss the importance of taste and curation in a SaaS business model; why simplicity is key for the user's experience; the difference between platforms and tools; and why you should have fun with what you do before venturing into something big and serious. He also discusses why his creative marketing strategy has been so successful.Guest at a Glance:Name: Chris FrantzAbout Chris: Chris is the Co-Founder and CEO of Loops, a company that helps SaaS businesses send beautiful email newsletters and one-off campaigns in a simple, easy-to-use interface. He believes simplicity is key to the user's experience.Chris on LinkedInChris' WebsiteLoops on LinkedInTopics we cover:The efficiency of LoopsThe importance of polish, taste, and curationSimplicity for the user is the keyThe difference between platforms and toolsThink creatively with your MarketingHave fun building and programming firstCan publicly sharing your process help?Key Takeaways:The Efficiency of Loops and Why Simplicity is KeyOften, it can be difficult to send a bulk of email newsletters and campaigns to a variety of different people, but thanks to Loops, that has been made way easier. Chris drew from his own experiences using slow and antiquated software to come up with a solution.When starting Loops, he knew he wanted it to be as simple as possible. It only takes five clicks to send a marketing email from them, whereas their competitor, Mailchimp, takes twenty-two clicks. Keep it simple; customers respond to simplicity positively and will undoubtedly come back!Importance of Polish, Taste, and Curation When building a business, one of the most important aspects is making sure the brand matches your standards of taste and curation - it has to be in line with what you care about. If you get stuck working on something you don't have any enthusiasm for, you may end up with a messy, unfinished product, or worse, your mental health will suffer.Difference Between Platforms and Tools A later-stage SaaS company often describes itself as a platform, whereas an earlier-stage company describes itself as a tool. When a company transitions from one to the other, it can spin up other product categories and expand itself. The trick is not to jump the shark too quickly and go at a steady pace.“At a later stage SaaS company, they call it a platform; in an earlier stage company, they call it a tool. When a company becomes a platform after becoming a tool, it basically means they can spin up other product categories”.Think Creatively with Your Marketing According to Chris, Loops have no plans to start any traditional marketing techniques yet. Instead, they've been staying creative with their marketing: making boxes of cereal for first users and letting startups display their messages on billboards. This is the reason they stand out amongst the others; they're creative.Chris explains how plenty of people are happy to share their building process online with others, and this is a huge part of why they were so successful. Chris, however, points out that he didn't feel comfortable doing this and would rather remain private. It's perfectly okay for others to do this, it doesn't mean you won't be successful. We all have our different methods.

A smorgasbord of talent this week. The world's most notorious ‘one-hit-wonder, NORMAN GREENBAUM shares his experience writing ‘Spirit in the Sky'. The song was a huge success, selling over 2 million copies and appearing in 65 movies. In my conversation with him he talks about his orthodox Jewish upbringing and what his family thought about his hit song that was all about Jesus. Rocker ALICE COOPER joins us too to talk about his love for his home town Detroit, his latest album 'Detroit Stories' which is dedicated to that city and what life is like for him today. We also catch up with Grammy-winning composer and songwriter PAUL WILLIAMS who candidly explains his past obsession with drugs and alcohol, his journey to sobriety and the ways in which it changed his life and career. He talks about how writing has helped him in his recovery and continues to help today. Paul also provides sage advice to anyone facing similar issues and speaks of his time as a drug and alcohol counsellor. From the UK, THE AVERAGE WHITE BAND's ROGER BALL discusses the history of the Scottish band, their favourite songs, and what caused the band to split up. Roger fills us in on what it was like playing to audiences that thought they were coming to see a black group in concert. Very funny stuff! And finally, TALKING HEADS' CHRIS FRANTZ tells us about his latest book called 'Remain in Love', his feud with lead singer DAVID BYRNE and what lay behind many of their best songs. Chris walks us through the years when Talking Heads were one of the biggest bands in the world and shares what it was like to come down off that high.

'Elo kiddies! This week we're listening to an episode from our other podcast, Why? and we're listening to our conversation with Chris Frantz from the one and only Talking Heads. (Oh, and he was also in Tom Tom Club... not too shabby.)We were talking to Chris on the release of his memoir, Remain in Love. It's a fun conversation, we touch on a lot of stuff. Hope you enjoy it.

If you've heard Latto's swaggering track "Big Energy"—and after 30 weeks on the Hot 100, you probably have—you may have heard a resemblance to Mariah Carey's 1995 hit "Big Energy." That's because both songs borrow a groove from the 1981 hit "Genius of Love," a genre-defying smash made by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. "Genius of Love" was made when Frantz and Weymouth took a break from playing in the band Talking Heads to let loose at the Island Records studio in the Bahamas with the help of some reggae luminaries. The original "Genius of Love" mashed up funk, new wave, disco, and rap, capturing the diverse sounds of 1980s downtown New York City, shouting out their musical influences in the process. From there, the song wended its way through hit after hit, from Grandmaster Flash to "Return of the Mack." Why does "Genius of Love" continue to spark musicians', and audience's, imaginations forty years after its release? Tune in to find out.

To watch the video version become an Ivory Tower Boiler Room subscriber: https://www.patreon.com/posts/67067151 Andrew sits down with author, Nicolas DiDomizio who chats about how he came to write Burn It All Down. He opens up about how real life spurred the creation of this novel including his gay bad boy phase and his close relationship to his mother. Nicolas explains that his novel is like a break up song and it definitely comes through! Nicolas not only talks about the creation of his novel but working under Anna Wintour, when he was at Conde Nast, and actually receiving an email from her! He explains how New Jersey became a touchstone for him and how it becomes another character in his novel (calling all Jerseyians, music to Andrew's ears). Then he talks about how his novel was first considered by Lady Gaga (yes, that Lady Gaga) and where his film version now stands. Melissa Gorga, this might be your first acting role as Italian American mother, Gia (make sure you credit Andrew)! And special shout out to James Patterson who praised the novel as “audacious, addictive, highly entertaining.” Make sure to follow Nicolas on IG, @nicdidomiziobooks, and Twitter, @ctnicolas.
