I do love this book, in spite of the minimalist text, the images that are conveyed to interpret the imagry of David Byrne's songs are an inspiration for the collaboration between artists on musical and visual fronts.

This is a wacky and special book that is sort of hard to come by. It was a gift from my pal Louie, and I'll lend it to you if you want to check it out.

A beautiful collection of art inspired by and placed along side various Talking Heads songs. One of my favorite books and a lucky find from long ago at a used bookstore in nowheresville, CA.
