I'm interested in the new release by David Byrne and Brian Eno, "Everything That Happens."
Here is a link to the website where you can learn more about the disc.
Both men are musical mavericks and geniuses. Byrne was the brains behind the Talking Heads and Eno had his own ambient music and has produced albums by U2, Coldplay, David Bowie and Paul Simon, among others.
The two collaborated on "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" in 1981 and have been busy with their own projects, but collaborated on this new disc via email and the internet. Jon Pareles of the New York Times, one of my favorite and most dependable music journalists, wrote a great article about the CD that piqued my interest. Here's a link to that article.

What I'm listening to now: "Memory Almost Full" by Paul McCartney. Also: "One Kind Favor" by B.B. King and "Dukie Treats" by George Duke.
