David Byrne and Brian Eno's latest record, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

David Byrne and Brian Eno have teamed up together for the first time since 1981's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and Eno's work producing and co-writing with Talking Heads. Byrne is a New York based musician, writer, director, artist, and general polymath, best known as the man behind the Talking Heads. Eno is the founding father of ambient music, former member of Roxy Music, and producer extraordinaire, most recently of Coldplay's latest record, as well as classic record by the Talking Heads, U2, and others, as well as his own material. Coincidently, or perhaps not, I just the other day came across their first collaboration, released 3 years before I was born. And today I learned that their new record was released yesterday as well. Check it out at the links below, where you can also download a free track from the album. I am looking forward to getting paid so I can purchase a copy and listen to the whole thing. The record is also available for streaming on the site, though I can't check since I am at work. Speaking of which, back to work.

Oh, two more things though. David Byrne, who lives in NY, has an installation up at the Battery Maritime Building downtown. I've been trying to see/experience it all summer, and haven't made it down yet. This is the last weekend, and I will certainly be there. Check it out if you can. He has rigged an organ to resonate different parts of the building. For a better explanation, see the official site.


And lastly, keep your eyes out for Byrne's recent bike racks he designed and installed around NYC, which the good graces of the Transit dept, of course. More info in this excellent NY Times piece and on Byrne's website.
