David Byrne is the man!

He knows how to write and perform such invigorating and electrifying music. From watching their live DVD to listening to the best of CD, you begin to realize that you already know most of the songs. You've heard them before on the radio or just around town somewhere.

'Once in a Lifetime', 'Burning Down the House,' as well as 'And She Was' are their most defining songs that you've heard everywhere. But once you get down into it, you begin to love all of them. One of my favorites is 'Slippery People,' a lovely diddy that sounds like a church choir alternating verses with Byrne.

'Life During Wartime' has that marching feel throughout. Byrne even runs throughout the song on the DVD. He's intense!
