It's new music for the month of October! Jenn Tully fills in for Sam again this month alongside Matt Sidhom. Together they built a mix that moves from David Byrne's question-rich groove with Ghost Train Orchestra and Hayley Williams to Florence and the Machine's roof-raising declaration of ambition, with plenty of discoveries and nostalgic detours in between. We kick off with What Is the Reason for It, a horn-lit, cinematic opener that doubles as a meditation on love's contradictions. From there, we bend time: Oasis reenters the chat via Don't Look Back in Anger and the 30th anniversary of What's the Story (Morning Glory), a reminder that remasters can be the best kind of rediscovery. Cold War Kids deliver a standout with Hyperempathy—maybe the most accurate song about a long-term couple's fight—before Electric Guest lifts the room with Play Your Guitar and its bassline-as-elevation. We even throw a glam-pop curveball with Foxy Shazam's You Know My Name featuring Corey Feldman, a surprisingly joyful MJ-inspired romp.The middle stretch balances comeback warmth and clever wordplay: Yellowcard's Better Days revisits the hooky honesty that made Ocean Avenue timeless, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise stitches fast-twitch lyrics to an easy, elastic groove. For elegant horror, The Last Dinner Party's This Is the Killer Speaking toggles between sinister verses and pop-bright choruses, while Sloan's Dream Destroyer blends 70s glam swagger with modern edge. We also wrestle with art versus artist through The Lemonheads' The Key of Victory, and tip our hat to familiar architecture with Arthur Buck's Fall in Love With Me, a pop-spooky echo of REM instincts with fresh attitude.We close on Florence and the Machine's One of the Greats, a soaring, razor-sharp statement about the cost and confidence of excellence—complete with a pointed critique of industry double standards. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-new-music-october-2025/pl.u-pm2jidKjlz1.

In 2017, a freelance writer in London pulled off one of the funniest marketing stunts in history.Armed with a burner phone, a website, and a backyard shed, Oobah Butler created a fake restaurant called The Shed at Dulwich.He never served a single meal.But with a handful of glowing fake reviews, he managed to climb the TripAdvisor charts all the way to #1 restaurant in London.Soon, real people were begging for reservations, food critics wanted interviews, and even TripAdvisor themselves congratulated him.When he finally opened for one night only, guests were served instant noodles, frozen meals… and a big helping of confusion.In this episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne dives into how one man's prank became a global phenomenon and what it says about the power of hype, storytelling, and human gullibility.
You can buy almost anything on eBay or at least, you could.In this episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne tells the hilarious true story of how people started selling haunted dolls, cursed jars, and even ghosts online… until eBay had to officially ban the sale of “souls and spirits.”

Her 2011 debut, Vows, was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand.

Since then, she has toured with artists including Beck, David Byrne, and Jacob Collier, and has released four more albums: The Golden Echo, Primal Heart, A Reckoning, and Idols & Vices (Vol. 1). She hosts the podcast Playing With Fire and shares essays, poetry and watercolours on her Substack newsletter.In this conversation, Kimbra reflects on her ongoing journey to find balance and rest within her life and career as a musician.

In 2018, KFC faced the unthinkable a fried-chicken shortage.

I'll bet you don't have 8 Grammy's. Very few people do. Our guest this week is one of the chosen few. Producer Kevin Killen has been one of the best in his field since first coming up under the tutelage of Steve Lillywhite on U2's War album. From there the list of collaborators includes David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Los Lobos, Howard Jones, Lindsey Buckingham, Kate Bush, Shawn Colvin, Tori Amos, Mr. Mister and many more. One year he won Grammys for working with David Bowie, Shakira and Yo-Yo Ma. Talk about diversity! We're so fortunate he gave us some of his time this week!

Adrian Belew's 1990 album Young Lions blends his signature experimental guitar work with pop-friendly rock songwriting. Though it features David Bowie on two excellent tracks, “Pretty Pink Rose” and closer "Gunman," it does not take away from Belew's opportunities behind the mic, finding a balance between the croon of Roy Orbison and quirk of David Byrne. He balances quirky, textured arrangements with strong melodies, making the album both adventurous and approachable. Lyrically, it touches on themes of modern anxieties and cultural shifts, filtered through Belew's surreal perspective on UFOs, government helicopters, and more, without being preachy or on the nose.

Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina By: Chris Frantz Published: 2022 208 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The life and musical career of Chris Frantz and his wife Tina Weymouth. With particular attention paid to his antagonistic relationship with David Byrne, the front man for Talking Heads, a band they were both members of. What's the author's angle? Frantz seems to be going for three things here. First it's an ode to his wife. Second it lays out his side of the fight between him and Byrne. Finally it's a snapshot into the origin of punk in the late 70s. Who should read this book? If you're a huge Talking Heads fan. Or if you really want a behind the scenes look at what it was like to be in a band in the late 70s. Otherwise I would skip it. Specific thoughts: The fact that he's stayed married for all these years counts for a lot.

David Byrne is a technologist building Daiko, a Web3 Pet-Tech platform that combines real-world pet care with blockchain rewards. Why you should listen To understand Daiko, think Fitbit for dogs meets gamified pet ownership, with a smart leash, virtual pet system, and a Proof-of-Woof model that turns daily walks into tokenized incentives. Daiko recently rolled out its smart leash ecosystem and already has thousands of early users signing up for their beta. The high-tech dog leash syncs with the Daiko Rewards App. Walk your pup, earn tokens, and interact with a gamified virtual pet right from your phone. They've baked in some serious bonus features too: a safe‑lock mechanism, titanium carabiner, integrated DooPod waste bag holder, and a super-strong rope tested up to 200 kg. Daiko isn't just about fetching rewards—it's about redefining “pet ownership in the metaverse,” or at least in a Web3-flavored reality. By rewarding real-world activity (like walking your dog) with crypto tokens, they blissfully blur the line between IRL routines and digital perks. It's gamification meets leash tech for dog lovers around the world. They're expanding globally this year with plans to integrate NFTs, utility tokens, and community-driven rewards.

In this bonus episode, Doug and I discuss a couple of recent studies that look at just how destructive cars are to the social fabric of our communities, how they decrease life satisfaction, and how walkable neighborhoods with public gathering places are an important resources for combating the loneliness epidemic. As we often say, we have custom-built our communities for cars, in the name of convenience. That obviously sucks for those of us who don't want to drive. But the crazy thing is, as we have often pointed out, that it also sucks for people who do think that driving it's a terrific way to get around. In the full bonus, we also give you our take on David Byrne's Subway Takes appearance—and his take about urban bike etiquette!

After his first season at The Muny, The Riverfront Times wrote, “Under the leadership of executive producer Mike Isaacson the quality of Muny productions rose like the proverbial phoenix.” During his tenure, Isaacson has changed the look and feel of The Muny, overseeing a transformation in every aspect of production that culminated in 2019 with the arrival of the theatre's extraordinary James S. McDonnell stage, a state-of-the art stage house that includes revolutionary LED technology, automated sets, and a host of other innovations.

In 2023, The Muny bested its record with 26 nominations, and for it's 2024 season, The Muny received a record 30 nominations – a record for The Muny and for the Theatre Critics Circle. During his time, The Muny's education and outreach programs have grown in number, and their artistic endeavors now incorporate all aspects of theater making – production, performance and administration. The Muny kids and teens are now recognized nationally for their excellence, inspiring a national program where teens from throughout the U.S. audition annually come to St. Louis to be a part of a Muny production. For 27 years, with his partner Kristin Caskey, Mike has produced more than 40 Broadway musicals and plays, national tours, off-Broadway plays, and London productions.

Music helped former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne come out of his shell and connect with others—and research shows he's not alone. We explore the science behind how music shapes our social lives.Summary: Musician and artist David Byrne reflects on how music opened his world as a shy kid, offering both an outlet and a sense of belonging. We delve into the science behind music's social power and how it can offer both personal transformation and collective healing.How To Do This Practice: Tune Into What Moves You: Think back to the first songs or sounds that made you feel something—excitement, belonging, or wonder. Create a playlist that reflects those emotions or moments. Create Space to Listen Deeply: Put away distractions and really listen. Whether it's on a walk, lying down, or with headphones. Let the rhythm, lyrics, or mood take you somewhere new. Use Music as a Mirror: Notice how the music reflects your mood, identity, or desires. Ask yourself: What is this music helping me feel or understand about myself? Make Music, Even Imperfectly: Play an instrument, sing in the car, hum along. Do whatever feels natural. Self-expression through music doesn't require perfection, only sincerity. Share It With Others: Invite someone to listen with you, send a favorite song to a friend, or sing with a group. Social connection strengthens when we engage in music together. Let Music Move You Into Action or Insight: Reflect on what the music stirs in you. Does it inspire creativity, protest, healing, or joy? Let that feeling guide how you show up in the world.
