# Raise your Aerials

<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000AU1NZQ.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg" style="float:right; margin: 10px;" />[There's a new Kate Bush album.][kb]

Oh, happy happy day.  2 CDs!  Hooray for a concept album in the age of singles.  Hooray for a song-length recitation of Pi out to a hundred or so digits.  Also, lewdness in the laundry.

Has anyone decoded that waveform on the album cover?
