remember eno?
Why do I like this guy so much?
1) He's addicted to photoshop and has to wean himself off it
2) Love-hate relationship with technology, exposed
3) Swore once he would do something violent if he ever caught The Edge reading music
4) Sounds awful and great at the same time
5) Threw out - legend has it - 100 songs in order to get to the gems on before and after science
6) Interested in everything
7) Shorter and balder than the avg grandmother in china
8) Produced all the bands I thought I liked, turned out I liked his production instead
9) Not boxed in
10) We give him a break, and he still turns out ideas such as in these interviews:
