David Byrne shares “Psychedelia Lives!” playlist (listen)

Another month, another themed playlist by David Byrne. This one is called "Psychedelia Lives!" and it's a well-considered collage of songs spanning over 50 years. Byrne writes,

Here’s a psychedelic playlist that starts in the late 60’s - naturally- but then keeps going through the decades up until pretty much the present day. The obvious suspects are not here - no Beatles, no Hendryx… But lots of others - and many from other parts of the world. It never went away, just keeps humming along, an antidote to conventional perception and understanding.

Artists featured on the list include The Beach Boys, Can, David Bowie, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Temptations, Funkadelic, Spiritualized, William Onyeabor, Prince & The Revolution, Gal Costa, Dirty Projectors, Panda Bear, The Flaming Lips, Shuggie Otis, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Procol Harum, Khruangbin, Sly & The Family Stone, Sturgill Simpson, Soundgarden, and more. The full track list is below, and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Music, or davidbyrne.com.

Also, today is Brian Wilson's 80th birthday.

Pick up classic Talking Heads vinyl.
