David Byrne is an avid cyclist and an artist too. The musician who formed the Talking Heads band back in the 1970's submitted designs to the New York City Department of Transportation for nine bike racks to reflect the character of the neighborhoods where they are installed, like a dollar sign for Wall Street.

They will brighten the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan for one year, after which they will be sold through Pace/MacGill Gallery, which represents Byrne’s artistic endeavours.

You might wonder how several big-name musicians came to appear on a recording by a 16 year-old ukulele player from upstate New York. Levon Helm sings, Todd Rundgren plays guitar, and Dr. John, John Sebastian and Kate Pierson of the B-52s make guest appearances.

The album was the dream of Killian Mansfield, who worked to complete it during the past year while battling a rare form of cancer. He died last week after receiving the finished album.

At his memorial service today in West Shokan friends and family will break out their ukes for a sing-along of Big Rock Candy Mt., Killian's favorite song.

Somewhere Else is a mix of songs -- eclectic, uplifting, fun and funky -- performed by Killian, with help from singers, musicians and producers from the Woodstock, NY music community rallying to make a kid's dream come true. Part of the proceeds will go to a cancer foundation which supports and promotes integrative therapies for children with cancer.
