This is a pretty incredible book about the world of music through every aspect of it, from the emotional and physical response to it, the practical issues around recording, distribution and technology, performance and the nature of venues, etc etc. It's very broad, but always personal to David Byrne's own lifetime of experience. It's also written in a very fluid and compelling way. It's a vital book for any music lover, even those who aren't Talking Heads fans, although you may become one by reading it!
