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.”

In a world where everyone's hustling for side gigs, one man in Japan found the ultimate job, doing absolutely nothing.

In the 1990s, Pepsi launched a TV advert offering everything from T-shirts to sunglasses for Pepsi Points and, as the punchline, a Harrier Fighter Jet.One college student decided it wasn't a joke. He raised the money, sent Pepsi a cheque, and demanded his jet.What followed became one of the wildest marketing blunders and lawsuits in advertising history.In this five-minute episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne tells the hilarious true story behind “Pepsi, Where's My Jet?”, how a soft-drink promo spiralled into a courtroom showdown, and why every marketer should read the fine print before promising the impossible.

On the 143rd episode of What is a Good Life?, I'm delighted to welcome Kimbra. Kimbra is a New Zealand-born songwriter, musician, producer, and adventurous performer. Her 2011 debut, Vows, was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. The following year, “Somebody That I Used to Know,” her duet with Gotye, topped Billboard's Hot 100, became the best-selling song of the year in the U.S., and earned her two Grammy Awards. 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. She speaks about the importance of silence in shaping her artistic expression, the power of surrendering to spirit, and the grounding influence of nature.This episode is an invitation to embrace the fullness of life — its joy, its suffering, and the many paradoxes in between.For more of Kimbra's work:Substack: https://kimbra.substack.com/Website: https://www.kimbramusic.com/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, my 5-week group courses, or to discuss team coaching to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/00:00 How to find balance?03:00 The experience of burnout06:30 A silent concert09:50 HoneyBones and nothing to lose12:30 The generosity and connection of silence 16:00 Life, art, and work are not separate19:30 Receiving a message from spirit23:30 Being empowered by spirit29:00 A mystical experience and calling33:42 We all have a cross38:50 Making a difference in the world42:30 The power and role of nature45:00 Rest, letting go, and liberation51:15 Summary and what is a good life for Kimbra?

In 2018, KFC faced the unthinkable a fried-chicken shortage. No wings, no drumsticks, no hope.What followed was chaos, comedy, and one of the best marketing recoveries ever.In this five-minute episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne unpacks the moment the Colonel lost his chicken, how KFC turned a PR nightmare into a masterclass in brand humour, and why owning your mistakes might just save your reputation.

In this episode, I chat with the multitalented Chris Giarmo—vocalist, performer, and now solo artist behind the  new tracks of Boys Don't Fight, featuring the sci-fi-inspired Megaman. You may know Chris from his standout role in the Broadway production of American Utopia, where his voice helped bring David Byrne's vision to life. But today, we dive into Chris's own creative universe.

In honor of David Byrne being back on the road with a new and absolutely spellbinding show, we are bringing you a remixed and remastered edition of our 2021 audio documentary on Byrne's iconic American Utopia show, which redefined the boundaries of what live music can be.

Flo is back on the allotment today with a packed-out interview featuring a beguilingly down-to-earth star.Hayley Williams, co-founder and lead vocalist of Paramore, the pop-punk band that defined the lives of 2000s teens and beyond, signed a “360 deal” with Atlantic Records in 2003 at just 14 years old. Today, she joins Flo on the allotment to celebrate the release of her new record, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, which she's putting out independently on her own label, Post Atlantic.As they plant cabbages, Flo and Hayley talk about the making of the album, day-to-day life in her hometown of Nashville, growing up in a Southern Baptist church community, and her perspective on US culture today. They also delve into the important topic of the Twilight soundtrack and Hayley's recent collaboration with David Byrne for the upcoming Twits film. As she says on the plot: she's lived a hundred lives, but it feels like she's only just getting started.This episode of Digging is sponsored by Niwaki: the go to destination for functional, durable Japanese gardening gear.

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!  The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

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.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Young Lions 22:17 - Pretty Pink Rose 29:30 - Looking For A UFO 38:44 - Heartbeat Outro - Gunman   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

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.

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.
