[Mr.DRC]

Ta, mdr And, along the lines of your cheap thrills reading The Rene's limerick to greatness ,

why can I hear the rhythmic * and veeeery rude-sounding *breathing effects from Kraftwerks Tour de France?

Nice thought-but it ain't triggered by thoughts of "It's yourself,is it?"

Nice reading matter then, soon come.

Don

p.s. baggsy I play DB in the BBC Adaptation.Ewan MacGregor can play the bike (somebody I know is
gonna kill me for that )

...Mmmm, wonder if that francey chaps seen the (remain in) light yet? Mmmm....

Ok, I found something what is absolutely worth mentioning in Bicycle Diaries:

[Mr.DRC]

Thanks for link, Clarabo Nice to see the Denmark cops spoke to the cyclists in tandem with hugs-and-handing-them their groovy matt-black helmets

Yes, I know Mr DRC, these are the exact motives why I put it here I wish everybody could experience that particular pleasure after watchin this delightful minifilm

[clarabo]

before his book will be published in the fall DB is busy reviewing other book about cycling for New York Times:

The book now appears on Amazon, Sept 17 release date...

[Mr.DRC]

"Bicycle Diaries" will also be available as an audiobook on CD.....

Okay,folks. What lyric quotes will DB be using? And, where are they from?

Bicycling on every Wednesday evening (Yeah, I'm a Gentleman )

Pump it up! (Mind those rubber burns on the whites,David!)

Round,like a circle in a spiral,like a wheel within a wheel (Gotta love those multi-speed gears!)

C'mon.There are 9 hours of Byrne-Yap. Gotta be some filler

Apparently it will be an Unabriged release.Does that mean he cycled across the water?

Next?

"He can walk on water but he can't stop falling in". - Maybe the extra speed helps?

To the tune of Season Cycle (XTC).

[iRene]

Bicycle of Love?
Cycle Killer?
Crossbar and Painless?

[Lunoki]

So who's narrating the audio book?

[wupot]

It looks like DB will be doing some promotion for this book. TicketMaster has an event called "David Byrne, where we've been and where we're going" on Sept. 30 in Portland, OR. It's a book signing.

[Mr.DRC]

DB's Penny Farthing is on UK E-Bay...

He is photographed on a bridge.See my 19th June Post.

Complete the smart-ass one-liner...

[iRene]

But he didn't think of this! Check out the cycologists.

[Buglet]

The Cycologists are great!

Returning to the Bicycle Diaries, it's fantastic that David will be narrating the audiobook - if he can get his mouth fixed.

Lol--

I ask: How the hell could your smash your teeth to the point of damage with a guitar?

What the heck was he doing with that thing??



Hendrix? Townshend? Sure. Byrne? Ummm...what the heck was he doing with that thing??

They'll need to put safety stickers on them Strats if this keeps up...

Maybe it was one of his dancers during their "Air" dance routine...?
