Do
you hear voices? - How did I get here? Since I bought my folding bike and
feeling the liberation that it has given me I now have another great connection/experience - I came across David
Bryne's fabulous book Bicycle Diaries. Created in part from the freedom of
having his own folding bike it takes the reader into the inside story. It's
like having David talking to you - I would love it as an audiobook - having
him directly in your ear. Not that I've ever met him, although I've followed
his work from the early days of Talking Heads when the art teacher put Talking
Heads: 77 on the turntable in the art room - yes a record player -can you just imagine
that. The list of 'stuff that has made
me think' includes so much of David Brynes output - The album Remain in Light https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remain_in_Light
with the truly extraordinary track Once
in a Lifetime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU
which in itself has the video where hand movements are used in a hyper
unrelated way - but if we're talking about videos I have to mention Road to
Nowhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0
- The mind twisting film True
Stories True Stories http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092117/
- My life in the Bush of Ghosts with Eno with the haunting Jezebel Spirit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysGjmm648ds
- Here Lies Love - the Disco Opera I saw the National https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Lies_Love
