979.0. "New David Byrne album?" by CSESUP::CROOKD (Richie) Tue Feb 18 1992 14:28

    Can anyone tell me whether the new David Byrne album is out yet. I
    think it's called "Uh-huh" or something like that. Also, a
    compilation/sampler of Byrne's Luaka Bop label is due out. Anyone know
    if this one is out?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Dale.

    Anyone bought/heard it yet?
979.3FORTY2::BOYESStrange things are afoot at the Circle KThu Mar 12 1992 12:4111
There were selections (with an interview) on Johny Walkers program on 
Saturday, and the video of the single (Girls On My Mind) on the Chart Show.
Musically like the last album, singing a bit whinier and not very pleasant.
There's a track about transexualism called "Now I'm Your Mom".

Jerry Harrison is doing solo stuff now: the Tom Tom Club are looking for 
a label and meanwhile the Chis and Tina are producing a Happy Mondays album.
David Byrne wants to hang up his big suit for good but it won't fit in the
closet.

979.4A quick listen!NEWOA::SAXBYIs that IT?!?!Thu Mar 12 1992 13:225
    
    I heard a bit in Our Price (is higher than everyone else's) a week or
    so ago. It sounded pretty good. Sort of mellow Talking Heads really!

979.5Can't believe I'm firstFORTY2::ASHGrahame Ash @REOThu Mar 12 1992 14:046
Surely I'm not the only one who's bought this? Anyway, if you're holding back 
because you want a follow-up to Naked rather than one to Rei Momo, DON'T! 
Uh-oh is much closer to traditional Heads music than Byrne's previous solo 
stuff. It's chockful of great pop songs - there must be a single due?

979.6CSESUP::CROOKDBilly WhizzThu Mar 12 1992 15:534
    There is a single out, but I can't remember the title now. It was
    reviewed in the NME this week anyway.
    
    Dale.
979.7FORTY2::BOYESStrange things are afoot at the Circle KThu Mar 12 1992 16:541
Single's called Girls On My Mind, like I said in .3.
979.8got itCSESUP::CROOKDBilly WhizzMon Mar 16 1992 10:136
    Yes, so you did. Got the album for my b'day over the weekend. Nothing
    like Rei Momo actually. A lot more like Talking Heads. Especially like
    the track "Something Ain't Right", because of the amazing percussion
    and whistles.
    
    Dale.
979.9me tooSIOG::D_LYNCHDeiric LynchMon Mar 23 1992 18:217
    I got it too and its FAB.
    
    Took a couple of listens as they usually do
    
    Cannot get Girls on my mind out of my mind

979.11CHEFS::HARRISRAve you gota loit boy ?Thu May 26 1994 12:157
    On Channel 4, Wednesday nights at 11:55 there is a most excellent
    programme called Flying Blind. The theme music is by David Byrne, and I
    wondered if anyone can tell me on what album, if any, the song a
    million miles, is on.
    
    
    Rich.
979.12Little Creatures?GEC013::63388::clarkThu May 26 1994 15:105
Rich,

 I think "Million Miles" is on Little Creatures by the Talking Heads.

    Rich.
979.14Reminiscent of Older TH stuffGEC013::63388::clarkFri May 27 1994 16:196
I just picked up the new David Byrne CD. It sounds a lot like older Talking 
Heads stuff to me. His last album "Uh-Oh" was instantly likable. This one 
seems pretty solid but it is going to take a few more listens to get a good 
feel for it!
