Hi, I’m Matt, and welcome to Steady Beats, where I ruminate on music, muscle, and motion at midlife. This week, a hodgepodge of music-related reviews. How Music Works, by David Byrne This book baffled me. David Byrne, co-founder of the Talking Heads, has been a smashing success at entertaining people. He knows how to create content that gets and holds attention.
Love the spiky take on David Byrne's book. Everything you describe about it makes it sound like a great read. It almost sounds like you would actually have to work intentionally hard to make it come off flat, but somehow it did. Surely he had some hired expert help to put it together, which makes the outcome even more baffling. Go figure.
Good stuff Matt, as usual!
