Keyboardist Jerry Harrison, bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz, and lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter David Byrne were always shifting and changing how they approached songwriting.
Kirk HamiltonHOST

And after Fear of Music, they realized that they wanted to take a more collaborative and improvisational approach to songwriting.
Kirk HamiltonHOST

As they worked on the music that would become Remain in Light, they began to explore working with looping sections, building grooves and musical ideas, and repeating them, riding the trance, and seeing what came of it.

Kirk HamiltonHOST
19:04
Ears on, here we go.
Kirk HamiltonHOST
19:18
So that's the drums and percussion, but to truly understand this song, we need to look at the other two core elements that are in here from the beginning.
Kirk HamiltonHOST
19:26
The synths played and arranged by Jerry Harrison and likely Brian Eno, and the bass played by Tina Weymouth.
Kirk HamiltonHOST
19:38
Taken together, the bass and the synthesizers provide "Once in a Lifetime's" sturdy ground and its infinite starry sky.
Patrick MadridHOST
37:58
All right.
Patrick MadridHOST
38:00
Bass player for the Talking Heads, Tina Weymouth.
Patrick MadridHOST
38:02
I think she's the one playing bass here, if I'm not mistaken.
Patrick MadridHOST
38:06
And if I am mistaken, somebody somewhere is gonna send me an email to correct me, and I appreciate it, thank you.
Mike SpearsGUEST

And apparently David Byrne had a, uh, sheet of paper on the desk that had rough ideas of, like, his, uh, what he was planning on singing, and that he was going to memorize these parts and then just kind of im- improvise, improv this into a song.
Mike SpearsGUEST
55:23
But the only word that he remembered, and the only word that kinda came out of the session, was blind, of which, uh, Tina Weymouth talks about how he looked like a Muppet recording this song.
Mike SpearsGUEST
55:35
And, uh-
Andrew RichHOST
55:36
[laughs]
Mike SpearsGUEST
55:36
C- c- considering the way that their relationship would go, that might be the last positive thing that Tina Weymouth has ever said about David Byrne.
Andrew RichHOST
55:43
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew RichHOST
55:44
From what I've read, there's, uh, there was quite a bit of heat, uh, after the breakup there, for sure.
Andrew RichHOST
56:53
So, um, yeah, Talking Heads, another band that only around for a relatively short amount of time, but, uh, still quite prolific, Mike.
Mike SpearsGUEST
54:27

First up, it was bassist Tina Weymouth.

28:37
and then drummer Chris Franz, and finally guitarist-keyboardist Jerry Harrison, while stagehands actively assembled the equipment in full view of the audience.

28:49
By the middle of the set, the core quartet expanded into a nine-piece funk rock engine that had guest musicians like Parliament Funkadelic's Bernie Worrell and guitarist Alex Weir playing, that transformed the minimalist stage into a hotbed of irresistible groovin'.
Dave SchneiderHOST
28:58
You learn those songs.
Dave SchneiderHOST
28:59
We do that every year with Chris and Tina and myself and a group of great people and, And you learned those songs pretty much on the road down and you were listening next to the stage.
Dave SchneiderHOST
29:09
And I, you know, it's the way I try to live my life is the way you live your life.
Dave SchneiderHOST
29:16
And I'm your partner in this experience of life.

Ryan MillerGUEST

Let's keep going.
Dave SchneiderHOST
56:59
Okay, real quick.
Dave SchneiderHOST
57:03
My friend and your friend, Tina Weymouth, said she thinks rock bands and bands in general and artists should not dress like common people and there should be some sort of costume, which is one of the reasons she likes the Zambonis so much.
Ryan MillerGUEST
57:21
Dave, you got to call me back.

[singing] We were helpless, helpless, helpless.
Chris KlimekHOST
3:33
And which shall be consigned to oblivion like Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison's invitation to see their former bandmate David Byrne's Broadway show, American Utopia.
Chris KlimekHOST
3:42
Because we're chuffed or at least curious about the September 11th release of Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, a documentary/concert film, ratios TBD, chronicling the 2025 stadium tour that put the longest-strange brothers Gallagher on stage together once more.

Steven HydenGUEST

Like, I know how they're moving around on stage, and I know their little ticks, and how they're smiling at each other.
Steven HydenGUEST
70:37
Like, I, I, I do think that it's not just David Byrne in that film.
Steven HydenGUEST
70:42
I would actually say that Tina Weymouth is the most attractive person in Stop Making Sense.
Steven HydenGUEST
70:47
In the same way, I might argue that, like, Levon Helm is actually the best looking guy in The Last Waltz.
Alec CummingHOST
82:02
I think it's cool to do a song where you talk about, uh, economizing and maximizing your work ethic," which is, uh, a lot of that second song, The Good Thing, also from Talking Heads, from More Songs About Buildings and Food.
Alec CummingHOST
82:15
I specifically played that because in the outro, which is just fantastic, and it's up there with the greatest moments, period, of rock music for me, is that outro with, uh, David yelping, "Watch me work," and Tina Weymouth with that fantastic bassline.
Alec CummingHOST
82:30
It's just, it's so dramatic and so unique and creative.
Alec CummingHOST
82:33
It's, that's the kind of thing that messed my mind up and said, "You know what? There's a door for me here.

Mercedes KentPANELIST
46:24
I don't think I have to say much more about the Talking Heads, except that in May 1976, they were signed to Sire Records, which is where I used to work.
Mercedes KentPANELIST
46:34
They recorded eight albums for Sire to great commercial success and great critical reviews and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, which reunited the band for the first and final time since 1984.
Mercedes KentPANELIST
46:50
By the way, Tina Weymouth gave a wonderful speech at this ceremony and she said, thanked hilly crystal owner of cbgb's and seymour stein president of sire records and she actually brought hilly crystal up to the stage which killed me because i knew him pretty well um he neither one of them are any are with us any longer um so as to his feelings on technology david burn had has noted that technology is never just a neutral tool like a hammer He also says every piece of text subtly guides humans to behave and communicate in specific ways.
Mercedes KentPANELIST
47:32
And he has argued that many modern innovations have an unspoken goal of reducing direct human interaction.
Mercedes KentPANELIST
47:41
He has heavily criticized streaming models, famously warning in the Guardian interview that the unchecked internet model could suck all creative content out of the world by making it impossible for mid-tier artists to make a living.

JohnHOST
