Like all normal people, I love Brain Eno, and have been enjoying a lovely spring Eno renaissance, involving the first two Roxy Music records, a few of the ambient discs, and, of course, the peerless “pop” quartet.

But the specific subject of this post comes from Before and After Science, the final installment of Eno’s ’70s pop run, praised by my beloved Robert Christgau for its “oblique, charming tour of the popular rhythms of the day, from Phil Collins’s discoid-fusion drumming on ‘No One Receiving’ to the dense, deadpan raveup of (find the anagram) ‘King’s Lead Hat.’”

When Christgau tells me to do something—buy Have Moicy!, ignore Panda Bear—I usually do it, because I trust him. But goddamn me if I could honor his command to find the anagram in “King’s Lead Hat.”

For months I lazily puzzled over it, until the answer was handed to me an a Wikipedia-scented platter. Now that I know what it is, it seems impossible that I was ever incapable of seeing it.

Hint for those who haven’t figured it out: It involves Eno’s comrade in the bush of ghosts.

Answer for those who are even dumber than me: here.

Carry on.
