Until I give it at least a half-dozen spins, I’m waiting to reserve judgment on Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the new album from David Byrne and Brian Eno, their first since the classic 1981 collaboration My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. However, on this Tuesday night, as I furiously attempt to play catch-up from two weeks of illness and a much needed escape from LA (no Kurt Russell), “Strange Overtones,” is treating me right like it was a single from Chubb Rock. If you’re a fan of Eno and/or Byrne, I’m willing to bet you’ll really like it, and if you don’t like either of those guys, maybe that whole “recorded music” thing just isn’t for you. May I recommend Parcheesi or shuffleboard instead?
