David Eno and Brian Byrne would sound cooler, though

Like Vanilla and Chocolate. Sonny and Cher. Peanut Butter and Bacon. Triscuits and Barbeque Sauce. Some partnerships were just meant to be.


I finally got around to checking out the Brian Eno/David Byrne collaboration "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today". It's awesome. Pretty different from their first album together, which came out in approximately 1932, this album combines their individual personalities into a very digestible, accessible album. Some songs sound very Talking Heads-ish, while others push the edge of the mainstream a little harder. Much like Eno's career, these tracks could very easily tip toward the very weird or toward the very pop.


I dig. Here are a couple of my favorite tracks - I definitely recommend you check it out if you've ever liked Simon and Garfunkel or much American Folk Pop stuff. Or, you know, if you've ever liked Brian Eno, David Byrne, or Talking Heads.

Also, CHECK IT. New way to post tracks that doesn't involve zshare and bouncing ads of girls in bikinis. Ballin'.

David Byrne and Brian Eno - Life Is Long

Also, I was reminded by a visit this weekend to my sister's apartment in New York City (as well as a post today on My Old Kentucky Blog) about Pogo's really cool Alice In Wonderland tracks. Prefuse 73/Books-ish, these tracks be fly. Peep them at now.


Pogo - Alice


Pogo - Lost

Enjoy.
