Not much going on. Took a walk with the dogs. Sunny, beautiful day, feels quite hot though, not much urge to move.
Decades ago, Brian Eno co-produced my favorite Talking Heads albums. 27 years ago, Eno and David Byrne collaborated on an album, “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts,” more on the experimental side than pop but enormously influential – can’t imagine Moby or DJ Shadow, amongst others, without it.
Now Eno and Byrne have done their second album. Digital download available Monday, one track available for free download now (at 320k! no drm!) from here. Maybe I’m biased because I’m such a huge Eno fan, but this sounds to my ears like the best thing Byrne’s done since that X Press 2 single.
Now, what shall I do with myself for the rest of the day? Let me check my Oblique Strategies cards.
Use ‘unqualified’ people
Okay, but use them for what?
