Driving Me Backwards came on the iPod Shuffle as I walked through Brick Lane the other evening. It was dark, but too early to be busy. It was the perfect music for that walk. Starts a bit like Alabama Song, then the voices come in. Now I know where TV On The Radio got it from. I was stunned. I hadn't heard the song. It was on my computer but I hadn't heard it. London's veneers were heat-stripped by Eno's death-drone. Music for sociopathic moods and solo walks through places that are supposed to be social.
So yeah, like (some) TV On The Radio but way way better.
