David Byrne's freak folk radio playlist -- "playing" SXSW

January 8, 2007

David Byrne @ Pop Montreal | OCT 05, 2006 (CRED)

David Byrne‘s latest streaming radio show contains songs by many of the artists he has playing Carnegie Hall in February. In March, David will make a speaking (and hopefully singing) appearance at SXSW in Austin this year:

Byrne returns to SXSW in 2007 with a special presentation. “Record Labels: Who Needs Them?” examines the state of affairs among purveyors of recorded music. From his perspective as artist, label owner and musical enthusiast, Byrne will discuss the options available to artists in an age where retail and radio infrastructure is shrinking, and digital technology has changed how music is recorded, distributed and promoted. Byrne’s manager, David Whitehead, will also speak and facilitate the session.

It’s the same topic David covered at Pop Montreal. For posterity, David’s complete current radio playlist below…
