The Talking Heads Tribute album Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense has arrived today, and it begins with a cover of “Psycho Killer” from none other than Miley Cyrus.

In the documentary “Resynator,” director Alison Tavel resurrects a synthesizer prototype that her late father, Don, invented.
Tavel, who lost her father when she was just 10 weeks old, initially wanted to make a short film doc about the synthesizer, which her father called the Resynator. The late-1970s invention generated a lot of buzz but never reached mass production. Tavel’s curiosity about the instrument ultimately led the director on a journey that helped her not only understand the Resynator and how it worked, but also who her father really was.
Tavel’s short doc eventually turned into a 96-minute film that includes interviews with estranged family, friends, inventors and celebrated musicians including Peter Gabriel, Fred Armisen and Jon Anderson.
Variety spoke to Tavel ahead of the doc’s SXSW world premiere on March 10.

Paramore released their take on Talking Heads’ hit single “Burning Down the House” on Tuesday as part of a forthcoming Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense tribute album.
The cover features frontwoman Hayley Williams belting out “Strange but not a stranger/I’m an ordinary guy/Burning down the house,” and taking on the iconic song that David Byrne once called “an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back.” (Bryne also noted the lyrics had “no logical, linear connection,...

About 20 years ago, Adrian Quesada was driving at night in his home base of Austin, Texas, when he heard something that made him turn up the volume: “Esclavo y Amo,” a psychedelic love song recorded in the 1970s by the Peruvian combo Los Pasteles Verdes.
“I had never heard anything like it,” recalls Quesada, the prolific multi-instrumentalist, founder of Black Pumas, and former member of Grupo Fantasma. “It sounded like a sample from a hip-hop song.”

The actress-comedian also released a single from the EP, “Javadawgs,” featuring Reggie Watts and Kate Berlant. The track’s animated video, directed by Vincent Scala, features the three artists as dogs getting caffeinated at the beach and flying through the skies. “We’ll sniff you out on land and on sea,” they sing. “Javadawgs, we’ll bring you some coffee.”

In the summer of 2015, former Talking Heads mastermind David Byrne recruited a crew of forward-thinking musicians – including St. Vincent, Devonté Hynes, Tune-Yards, Zola Jesus and Money Mark/Ad-Rock – to write original music for "Contemporary Color," a series of elaborately choreographed color guard events.
Oscilloscope Laboratories released a new trailer for the bizarre project, showcasing the 10 color guards and 10 composers (also including Nelly Furtado, How to Dress Well, Lucius and Nico Muhly/Ira Glass). "Everybody kinda gets one shot at this, and this is it," a giddy Byrne tells the camera crew.

If someone was to tell you in the early 80′s when rap was still in its infancy, that three Jewish white kids from the boroughs of New York City would go on to become the most successful hip-hop group in history, you would think they were crazy. However, Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “McA” Yauch and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz would go on to defy racial barriers and captivate a world wide audience.
In a career that spanned three decades, the Beastie Boys went through quite the evolution, growing from a hardcore punk band, to party boy rappers on “Licensed to Ill”, to mature, sampling extraordinaires on “Paul’s Boutique”, to bringing fuzzed out funk jams on “Check Your Head” and “Ill Communication”, to the exotically weird yet captivating “Hello Nasty”, to the futuristic beats of “To the 5 Boroughs” and finally to the familiar but fresh ”Hot Sauce Committee Part...

BJöRK: Biophilia
(One Little Indian)
Usually with each new Björk album comes the often wishful mutterings of it finally representing her "return to pop", as if she's about to recreate Debut, move back to London and start dating Goldie again. Needless to say, Biophilia – an album prefaced by an elaborate iPad app and thematically encompassing the entire universe – isn't loaded with singles. Björk chooses instead to flit between the beautiful ("Cosmogony"), the downright creepy ("Hollow") and, in "Mutual Core", the world's first song about tectonic plates set to a ravey mesh of bleeps and whooshes. Lyrically, it finds Björk musing on both the universal and the personal in a way she's only hinted at before,...

The Jonas Brothers have a very clear, straight-ahead sound, but the individual members have more esoteric aspirations that come alive in their individual work. Last year's album by Nick Jonas and the Administration traded in power pop for a throwback brand of synthed-up funk rock, and Joe Jonas' upcoming solo project promises to dive headlong into a more electronic place. In a recent conversation with MTV News, Joe revealed that his biggest inspirations lately have been acts like Daft Punk and Justice. "Artists you can dance to, electro stuff, DJs in Europe — they're all very exciting to me," he explained while sitting next to producer Danja.
Of course, dance music crossed over into the pop world in a big way in 2010, with a handful of DJs grabbing mainstream attention (like David Guetta and the members of Swedish House Mafia) and many high-profile stars (including Usher, whose "Omg" was declared...

You may know Brazilian singer/songwriter, Seu Jorge, as the forlorn guitarist in "The Life Aquatic," whose David Bowie covers were among the most unforgettable songs in film of the last decade. He's also appeared in roles in "City of God," and "The Escapist."
In this first part of director Kahlil Joseph's "The Model," Jorge plays one of the most chill men in the world as he strolls deliberately through a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, playing host and sings in smooth, lulling tones. The familiar songs you hear are three covers from the Seu Jorge and Almaz album, "The Model" (Roy Ayers' "Everybody Loves The Sunshine," Martinho da Vila and João de Aquino's "Cirandar" and Kraftwerk's, "The Model"). Along with Jorge, the short features members of Almaz (Lucio Maia and Pupillo from stalwart Brazilian band Nação Zumbi), producer Mario C and keyboardist Money Mark.
