David Byrne - Bicycle Diaries - mp3@192 cbr =========================================== http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/books/bicycle_diaries/audiobook.php Since the early 1980s, David Byrne has been riding a bike as his principal means of transportation in New York City. Two decades ago, he discovered folding bikes and started taking them on tour. Byrne’s choice was made out of convenience rather than political motivation, but the more cities he saw from his bicycle, the more he became hooked on this mode of transport and the sense of liberation it provided. Convinced that urban biking opens one’s eyes to the inner workings and rhythms of a city’s geography and population, Byrne began keeping a journal of his observations and insights. An account of what he sees and whom he meets as he pedals through metropoles from Berlin to Buenos Aires, Istanbul to San Francisco, Manila to New York, Bicycle Diaries also records Byrne’s thoughts on world music, urban planning, fashion, architecture, cultural dislocation, and much more, all conveyed with a highly personal mixture of humor, curiosity, and humility. Part travelogue, part journal, part photo album, Bicycle Diaries is an eye-opening celebration of seeing the world from the seat of a bike. ========================== CREDITS: Written and narrated by David Byrne Music by David Byrne Recorded and mixed by Josiah Hendler @ Blast Off Productions, NYC Sound design by Josiah Hendler Production Coordinator: Frank Hendler Graphics by Danielle Spencer & DB Artist management: David Whitehead @ Maine Road Sound design and recording for the “New York†chapter by Karen Michel ========================== Chapters: ======== 01 Introduction 02 American Cities 03 Berlin 04 Istanbul 05 Buenos Aires 06 Manila 07 Sydney 08 London 09 San Francisco 10 New York 11 Epilogue Audio : MP3@192kbps | cbr | 44.1khz
