Apocalyptic Swamp Funk. That’s how the New Yorker described this song.

“Life During Wartime” is a single from the album Fear of Music, one of three Talking Heads albums produced by Brian Eno.

“Life During Wartime” is also performed in the 1984 music documentary about Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense, directed by Jonathan Demme that was shot over three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles.

It’s always fascinating for me to watch David Byrne and co. perform (through YouTube; I’ve never seen them on stage in person). In November, Mr. Byrne will be in Adelaide. I’m quite sure I’ll be there!

Often tagged as this country’s version of Malcolm McLaren—or as Rolling Stone Indonesia put it ‘the grand master of music propaganda’—a name based on his successes when managing Bali’s two favourite bands, Superman Is Dead and Navicula, both who have become two of the nation’s biggest rock bands.
