Brian Eno is one of few people alive today who can be truly called a genius. YouTube user ZBadSync has created a cool video for the track "The True Wheel," from his excellent album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). The video uses a lot of mathematical imagery that goes perfectly with the song.

Update: Sorry folks, you'll have to watch it on YouTube itself.

Update Update: My poor sleep-deprived brain got the lyric wrong for my original title.

A happy birthday to Mr. Ziggy Stardust himself, David Bowie, who's just turned 65.

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

Ouch.

The great part of seeing supposedly unlikely duos like this one is that they reveal how similar Byrne's and Thompson's clean guitar styles are.
