The latest Sometimes Folk “is informed by David Byrne’s music,” says program host Bill Wagman on today’s show. “The other night I went to see the Talking Heads’ concert movie Stop Making Sense,” he says, “and while I was watching I was thinking of David Byrne’s album Rei Momo, in which he investigates a lot of Latin music.” (The photo, from David Byrne’s website, was taken during his 1989 tour for the album.)
So Bill starts today's show with "Independence Day," a song from Rei Momo featuring Kirsty MacColl, then follows with her song “There’s a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis” and the Tom Tom Club’s version of “Under the Boardwalk.”
“I think that’s my favorite version of ‘Under the Boardwalk,’ he adds.
