Dingbats For Sale!

The idea for the dingbat drawings came about when my colleagues at Reasons to Be Cheerful suggested I might make a series of illustrations to accompany the articles published as part of the We Are Not Divided project.

Changing Hearts and Blowing Minds: 50 Years of Conscious R&B

Ever since I can remember, there has been music made by the African diaspora that addressed social, economic and conceptual issues in ways that are funky, radical, surprising and joyous. Some of these are deeply sober and serious while others reorient our minds while we dance.

David Byrne Presents: The Sound Of New York

So, although much of this creative explosion happened in 70s New York, it resonated and had a huge influence in the decades that followed. Some of those artists who surely would not have been who they are without salsa and Fania are in this playlist as well.

David Byrne Radio Presents: My Old School Dance Party

In the 80s I used to make mixtapes for myself to dance to. Partly for exercise, and partly to see if I happened to fall into some interesting and evocative movement - moves that I might use in a performance eventually. Often I would alternate Celia Cruz songs and Kanda Bongo Man mixtapes, but in this playlist you’ll find a lot of the old school disco funk that set me in motion.

David Byrne Presents: Conscious Dance

Writing songs that deal directly with social justice and contemporary issues is hard—at least it is for me. Hearing these incredibly catchy songs made me realize pop music could be danceable and conscious at the same time. These songs are hugely inspirational even if I might have to continue on my search of how to do this in my own way.

Music for Change

One often hears the question raised, “Can music effect social and political change?” I have my doubts that it can—directly at least. I do think it provides cohesion and moral support, but if there was ever a genre to refute my doubts, here it is.
