David Byrne (Talking Heads)

One of my favorite songs.

I'm sure he's a whole universe. I didn't like their sound when they came out so I just didn't really pay them much mind. But more recently I really got into the song The Big Country. Now to complete the typing I'll have to look at a bunch of stuff. But he strikes me offhand as sp/sx 5w6-3w4-9w1 with sw's maybe 4w5, 2w3, and 1w2. A 1 fix isn't out of the question, I guess. Also double 4w5 wings but I suspect clinging on to shock point with a lot of time in isolated nihilist may be what's causing the super withdrawn effect. Don't really know enough about him to say yet (egg on face).

I haven't explored him a whole lot, but after watching the first interview my impression still is something like Sp/So 5w6(4w5)-9w1(1w2)-2wX. Seems he should be "Interpersonal Alien" with head going into the hole, no?

EDIT: Posts crossed. My VERY first impression during the interview was Sp/Sx but his songs seem way too...almost Lynchian, and I also thought "Nah, sure he's like an underground creepy sea creature but not predatory enough."

[Anthony]

But never mind, I think I'm seeing what you mean by the Sp/Sx (comparing him to others of close-enough types). Sp/So is probably wrong.

[Anthony]

Also yes 3w4 > 2 fix, and yes re possible double (4w5) but time in 'isolated nihilist' may be giving that impression.

He's social last Anthony. Until he opened his mouth and sounded like take me to your leader (which is why the band didn't appeal to me before) it was a choice between sp/sx and sx/sp mesmerizer. The only other possibility I felt would have been a very withdrawn fs SX/so. He's super intense. But once he starts talking you realize he can't be sx first.

sp/sx up the wazoo imo.

Not sure about heart, seems very 3w4 to me but....like I said I suspect there is interference from a really desperate avoidance of falling through nihilsm into schizoid. tbcd.

"not predatory enough"

In second interview gives more impression trying to stop impulses to serial kill or something.

He will be a headache to get complete typing. He's obviously brilliant and a bit deranged, and with a vast opus too.

[Roshan]

But hey we'll get to catch up on some culcha!
