David Byrne

Soundcheck | Sep 23, 2010

Singer/songwriter and avid cyclist David Byrne didn’t want to do the usual audiobook thing when it came to his "Bicycle Diaries." Inspired by years of listening to public radio, he decided to produce each chapter like a piece of audio art. He’ll share some excerpts with us.

Today's Playlist:

1. "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave" - Phil Collins

2.  "Kelele" - Angelique Kidjo

3.  "The Book I Read" - Talking Heads

4. "Dancing Together" - David Byrne &Fatboy Slim feat. Sharon Jones
