David Byrne’s releasing his very recent collaboration with Brian Eno, the album ‘Everything that happens will happen today,’ online in the next few days (here). Until then, you can download the track ‘Strange Overtones’ from the site, free of charge. On Byrne’s subsequent US tour, he’ll be playing songs from the new record, as well as from his previous collaborations with Eno: the Talking Heads records ‘More Songs About Buildings and Food’, ‘Fear of Music’ and ‘Remain in Light’, and their classic ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’.

…is this passage by Anthony Lane in the New Yorker:
In the seventeenth chapter of “The Voyage of the Beagle,” Charles Darwin turned to the mating habits of the giant Galapagos tortoise. “When the male and female are together, the male utters a hoarse roar or bellowing, which, it is said, can be heard at the distance of more than 100 yards,” he wrote. This is also the most accurate description that we possess of the duet performed by Mick Jagger and Christina Aguilera in “Shine a Light,” Martin Scorsese’s documentary on the Rolling Stones.
