One of our favourite iPhone apps is Shazam. We sat I a concert of David Byrne pointed the iPhone at the stage and instantly knew that song that was puzzling us and much more. Now Shazam is introducing Shazam Encore, a premium version of the music recognition service that claims speed, similar tracks and a “drive and tag” mode that will let you know what’s playing on the radio when...

I'm stepping away from the Chicagoist "we" for a moment, because there's no way I can possibly be objective about True Stories . It's my favorite movie. When I was about 13 we used to rent movies from King Soopers, the local supermarket. Jammed between the greeting cards and the candy aisle were two red metal shelves which held empty VHS cover boxes. While Mom did the shopping I would browse...

In recent years there has been a wealth of David Byrne-inspired US bands, such as TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, MGMT and Vampire Weekend fusing experimentation, art-rock, a head for great pop tunes, and the occasional African musical inflection. Though in the case of the Vampire Weekend the influence is more Paul Simon than Mr Byrne. Yeasayer (left) are another band that can be...

More than Zappa’s Joe’s Garage. More than Centerfield. More than the Indiana Jones Theme Song. More than AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. More than even Glen Miller’s In the Mood. If I ever got the once in a lifetime chance to request a single song for Phish to cover, there currently exists one song that I would rather hear over any other song. It’s called Indoda Yejazi Elimnyama...

I still can’t get my head around Dirty Projectors ’ madly growing popularity. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy a band with such a thorny sound can pack a club like Neumos (I arrived just as the band were walking onstage and instantly hit a solid wall of humanity). But when you break down the group’s component parts, they don’t add up to typical ’00s commercial...

Nobody rides bikes in Buenos Aries. As David Byrne writes of Buenos Aries: " Is it so uncool to ride a bike here that even messengers find other ways of getting around? " David Byrne's Hypothesis: " I think the idea of cycling is simply off the radar here. The cycling meme hasn’t been dropped into the mix, or it never took hold. I am inclined to agree with Jared Diamond, who claims...

Though this is at a tangent to the new positivity I’ve been espousing: we all know the Culture Police. We find them standing behind us in movie lines, serving us coffee, plunking themselves down in the front row at readings. These guys and girls know everything, or think they do. The most important thing they know is this: what we should like and what we should not . The old “what’s...
