Despite generally favorable reviews, the latest from David Byrne and Brian Eno, Everything that Happens Will Happen Today, upon close listen, sucks (or blows...take your pick). One review rejoices, "the pair rejoin the rock conversation as if they'd never left." Well, OK, if you think that lifeless resurrections of 1981 are a good thing go for it. Somewhere in the middle of the album the lyrics go

"This groove is out of fashion/These beats are 20 years old."

Yep. Exactly. Although I though groove was an overstatement. It's a jerky, rather saccharine flavored upbeat Carebare hugging world of ordinary things are wonderful bit of irritating fluff.

First listen was in my car. I'm a person that keeps every CD that crosses my path and I rolled down the window to through the thing out. In the end I couldn't do it. Don't know why.
