I like to sing to jars, How about you? I like the Gershwin bars, How about you?

This video was taken of me and a cat while I was powerless to prevent or even be aware that I was being recorded. I consider it a gross violation of my constitutional guaranteed right to privacy and will be contacting someone for redress of grievance. The cat's commentary will be used as evidence against it.

A talking, animated, Care-Bear toy, a cat, a thunderstorm, and a complete and utter absence of terror. Outrageously Boring, but only for 48 seconds. Special Guest Appearance by A Foot.
A truly brilliant mind.
What pablum. Inane drivel masquerading as erudition.
The 80's, were a fun expiramental time for the arts some worked, and some just became cult classics.
Well that was radical.
This movie is a beautiful movie.
How do you feed five people with one lobster?
Help the lobster out in the kitchen.
My favourite scene in the film. Anyone interested in a follow-up I highly recommend The Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne, especially the audiobook read by Byrne himself. It has the same dry, dead-pan humour as found in True Stories but on a wider scale.
I love the asparagus bouquet
thanks so much for not cutting at the dinner table and letting the song finish with the grooving business man
I miss Spalding Gray. :(

Pretty sure this is what psychosis looks like from the inside. Could be worse I suppose. Nice colors are a plus

And we never did find out

any else here because of Red Letter Media?
There is no concept of weekends anymore. Perfect
A definition of modern Life.
Re: the music, I notice that it sounds quite a bit like the track 'Glass, Concrete and Stone' from Byrne's 2004 album Grown Backwards. Similar melody.
It is undoubtedly a spoof on Koyaanisqatsi, from the music to the photography.
If you'd like more Byrne music similar to this, try The Forest and Music for the Knee Plays. There was, however, a certain sax quartet I used to hear on PBS radio in the 80's that I haven't heard since then. I don't believe it was Kronos Quartet, I haven't found any Philip Glass exactly like it and it wasn't Jon Hassell. It's very frustrating because I liked it quite a bit. I was too young to remember the name, though. It sounded very much like the music played as David is driving just as Earl is starting the opening monologue for the Celebration of Specialness in the movie. That, I think, was Kronos Quartet and it was a one-off.
All time classic movie.....
wow great fucking clip
It's actually on an alternate soundtrack album.
David Byrne is credited for writing all the incidental music in the film. Looking at imdb it is almost assuredly "Dinner Music" Written and Produced by David Byrne, Performed by Kronos Quartet. This means you are unlikely to find it anywhere aside from that one scene in the film.
"It thrills me!"
The soundtrack Sounds from True Stories just hit Spotify and you can find it there!
what's the music?
