listen to these
I finally got a chance to listen to the Eno tracks I mentioned back in this entry. I suppose it's no surprise I'm recommending them again. They weren't the least bit disappointing. In general, here are the topics covered:
- how computers have evolved and will be evolving
- difference between pop art and high art, and why it's a privelege to sell out
- architecture and war
- rift between the values that founded america, and our current low common denominator
- music distribution and the internet
- rich editors (editors in the sense of people who aggregate content for others)
- how to pretend to yourself that you're working
- what kids hear when you're talking to them
The best part is the minimal editing of the audio, so we get to hear the interviewer burn his tongue on some coffee, and then decide to light up a cigarette (Here, smoking is tolerated as much as concealed weapons at chuck e cheeze).
Comments
There's a piece of music that's haunted me for ages. I keep on hearing it on TV and in films, but I've never been able to find out what it was. Then I found it. Brian Eno's An Ending (Ascent). Wonderful. I can recommend it. You've almost certainly heard it before but not necessarily known it was Eno.
