I didn't like what Eno did on Paul Simon's last album, but I would still love to hear these tunes.

I really liked Surprise... Some of it was brilliant. It's cool that Simon will still go out on a limb like that. I'd love to hear him take it further.

I actually liked Surprise. It has a few duds, but I thought Eno did a fantastic job. Makes me excited for this Byrne collaberation.

I liked the songwriting on Surprise, but I didn't like the production. Too slick, dynamics squashed, which is sad because I love Eno's work. I was actually listening to Berlin when I read this post.

Hey anon 10:49, did you mean the Lou Reed album (which was produced by Bob Ezrin, not Eno) or the 3 Berlin-era David Bowie albums that Eno collaborated on? Just curious.

I meant Low, but I was thinking Berlin era. :)

"they are playing Terminal 5 in August"

If that were to be true, it would be awesome if they can play during Fri/Sat of APW when everyone else is seeing Radiohead.

Greatest news ever.

follow the link for the rest of the story. 40% of the planned set would be Eno-era Talking Heads stuff. Fuckin' hell!

Perhaps some "Bush of Ghosts" jams, too?

Like you said, Mark B.: Greatest News EVER!
