And it is a fantastic read. Engaging, intelligent and not-at-all self-absorbed, Byrne writes like he cares and shares.

I best remember David Byrne as the frontman of Talking Heads, another band I listened to a lot at school (it wasn’t all Depeche Mode and sawing away at wrists, you know). He’s still around, making music, and that makes me very happy.

Byrne’s blog was such a pleasure to discover that I plan to bury myself in the archives soon (he’s been blogging since 2004!) and see what he’s been up to all these years.

He’s on tour with Brian Eno at the moment, so his blog is in travel journal mode and full of vivid photographs.

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” – Antoine de Saint Exupéry

This wonderful animated short by Louis Clichy, a Pixar animator and Gobelins graduate (the same school that produced Oktapodi) is pretty close to perfection.

You can view more of Clichy’s work at the Cube Creative Computer Company website.
