Here's a quick little music review before school starts and I'm too busy to even trim my toenails (sorry).
If you ever got into Talking Heads you know David Byrne, the genius award-winning front-man with a quirky sense of humor. He's pure artist, dappling in opera, set design, sculpture, and every and any type of collaboration.
His most recent collaboration is a 30-years-in-the-making album with "the father of ambient music" Brian Eno. Eno is also a songwriter and collaboration king, working with U2, David Bowie and many others.
Together they created "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today", which you can hear here. Eno describes the sounds saying: "Upon starting this project, we quickly realized we were making something like electronic gospel, music in which singing becomes the central event, but whose sonic landscapes are atypical of such vocal-centered tracks. This notion tapped into my long love affair with gospel music, which, curiously, was inadvertently initiated by David and the Talking Heads."
Beautiful original songs, great for listening to while traveling, making out (haha), working, or relaxing.
