Talking Heads + American Psycho = Duh.

So I've been in Colorado for the past few days and during that time I came across Miles Fisher's* truly delicious cover of David Byrne's "This must be the place". Not only is his interpretation of the song generally unreal, but I thought that the video's nod to the cult classic American Psycho** added an interesting twist:


As blasphemous as it is, I think I might like this cover better than I like the original. And the original is sweet on the worst of days.

If you're as into it as I am, you might consider some of Fisher's other music. His new four-track EP is available for free download from his website.


* Actor/Musician/Harvard Alumnus/Really Good Looking Dude

** Ok, let me say that if you haven't seen the movie, just do it. It's totally worth your time, I promise. If you're unacquainted with Fisher's inspiration, (or if you just happen to be in the mood to watch two minutes of Christian Bale as a psychopathic stock broker), here's the red-band trailer for American Psycho. If nothing else, you've got to admit that the physical/ manneristic resemblance between Fisher and Bale is pretty impressive.
