Music News from the Front!
Forgive us, dear citizen. The daily tribulations of battle management, supply coordination and ration... rationing - has taken its toll on all of us here at DemoWAR HQ. In the interim, I deliver two items of sonic importance which could not go unreported:
David Byrne and Brian Eno plan new album and tour!
From thedailyswarm:The dream art-rock team of David Byrne and Brian Eno will return with new, strange fruit soon, the former Talking Heads man told NME recently. Speaking at an event in New York, Byrne revealed that the duo had rekindled the relationship they formed in the late 70s/early 80s which resulted in three Talking Heads records and 1981’s classic My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

The most unwanted song = 25 minutes of unlistenability
Yes, that is a word. A crew of musical pioneers got together and polled listeners to find out the most unappealing aspects of music. This, of course, led them to assemble a 25-minute long holiday composition combining ALL of these detestable ingredients. The closest thing I can compare this to is David Allen Coe's sublimely irritating You Never Even Call Me By My Name, in which he codifies what makes a "perfect country & western song." (Considered by some to be the most unappealing aspect of music.)
Full story (and link to song badness) here.
Both stories thanks to boingboing, a superb collection of design/music/electronic rights items. Visit them during your next lights out! Rest easy, troops. The calvary is on the way with four (4!) new bits of audio shrapnel to rout the enemy. Stay tuned!

I downloaded the worst song ever and plan to listen to it on my drive home tonight. I also somehow came across this which cracked me up a little bit : http://www.themorningnews.org/archives oped/two_minutes_and_42_seconds_in_heaven.php
Now I'm going to type in "yxmhqtar" and verify that a human is reading your blog and not a robot.
