David Byrne and James Murphy: Podcast

I just listened to this Soundcheck podcast, and I suggest you do the same. It’s very interesting, especially when they talk about the creative process, and the importance of not thinking too much.

WNYC.ORG: Back in March, songwriters David Byrne and James Murphy (formerly of LCD Sound System) met at Yale to talk about the evolving role of the artist in the digital age. John Schaefer moderated the discussion. Have a listen to a special Soundcheck podcast of the event, which includes discussion of the songwriting process, David Byrne’s proposal for an unusual (and potentially deadly) installation, and James Murphy’s plans to revolutionize New York City’s subway turnstiles.
