Last night, the band provided fans with a sneak peek of the clip from 195 Chrystie St. on the Lower East Side, a loft building that David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison lived in during the mid-1970s.
The new video, directed by filmmaker (and Cooper Union grad) Mike Mills, stars Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan.
Per Variety:
The video covers 13 days in the very repetitive life of a woman waking up and going to an unspecified job, where she experiences a range of emotions from indifference to sorrow to rage to, finally, a kind of peace — all of these moods going more or less unregistered by the other humans she interacts with.
On June 5, 1975, Talking Heads made their debut, opening for the Ramones at CBGB. We heard it was a pretty good show.
"Psycho Killer" appeared on the band's first record, Talking Heads: 77.
Saoirse is a perfect fot for this song/video. This was really freakin' kool 😎
ReplyDeleteThe editing was excellent and Saoirse was perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery good. I remember the day in August 1999 when I was walking south on the east side of 2nd Avenue crossing 11th Street when I looked to my right and saw David Byrne riding his bike. He waved to me like I was his best friend.
