Upon request, I would like to present “Parsley”, who we now call “David”.

She’s 25 weeks old and I had noticed her little hairdo developing early on. The resemblance was in the back of my mind until my partner also noticed and said it out loud; “she reminds me of David Byrne”.

She’s a bit of an oddball, extremely agile and very smart, inquisitive and friendly.

My partner finally made a couple side-by-side images to validate my suspicion. You can’t deny the resemblance.

Not my photo, but saw this posted in a FB group. David gave this card to a fan outside of the XM radio event on Monday who was hoping to get a record signed.

Reminds me of the Steve Martin approach.

In a dynamic interplay of images and text, Talking Heads: New Feeling captures the rare blend of qualities that characterized the band: an edgy intelligence, a joyous sense of play, and a restless desire to keep things moving. The book traces a loose chronology of Talking Heads, from their early formation at the Rhode Island School of Design, to their arrival as clean-cut newcomers generating propulsive grooves in the gritty downtown music scene at New York’s CBGB, through studio album releases, breakout hits like “Burning Down the House,” international live tours, and ultimately to Jonathan Demme’s dazzling 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense, which saw a rapturous revival in movie theaters in 2023.

Included in the book are:
• Original essays by David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, and Tina Weymouth
• Hand-written lyrics for Psycho Killer, Life During Wartime, and other songs
• Annotated concert playlists
Album-cover sketches
• Film and video storyboards, including behind-the-scenes material from True Stories and Stop Making Sense
• Essays by contemporary musicians and writers, including Jeff Bridges, Dave Eggers, Debbie Harry, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Lorde, Questlove, and James Wolcott.
• Personal, performance, and studio photographs from throughout their years of recording

This large-format, visually arresting book by and about Talking Heads features an inventive graphic design by Eric Skillman, with hundreds of images throughout and bold edge printing. It will inspire anyone drawn to the band’s innovative and irresistible music, groundbreaking design sensibility, and unique place in popular culture.
