I'm not sure we talked about it, but I do know this version. Love it! Don Was said Dave McMurray has a new album coming out soon, too.

That bit at the end where they project his silhouette onto that canvas floating and flickering in the background is pretty great production work.

Another Breakfast Jams in the bag! Played some tunes you probably know, maybe some you don't. Did another Talking Heads/David Byrne threefer, leading up to the show later this month.

Listen from the archive at wcbn.org.

Start your week off with a nutritious serving of tasteful toe tapping, hand clapping, head nodding jams. On WCBN.org and at 88.3 on the dial (for the local folks). Mmm.... delicious!
