True wheel could be longer, agree re mother whale eyeless tho. Latter has some of my fave lyrics ever

This is for the fingers
This is for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen
Right behind the scales

^if Scott walker sang this it would be horrifying and obviously about torture; when eno sings it it's not obviously not about torture, and unnerving.

Then there's the "in my town" sequence which is just funny.

Slightly off-topic, but the new one, with Karl Hyde, "Someday World" is streaming here:

Even if we did a poll already, would make a sweet Spotify playlist especially since there's 0 crim on there.

This thread deserves to have ITS title fixed.

I was the only one to continue with music. I moved to London in 1971 and stayed for ten years. I had some success as a guitarist-singer-songwriter. I had a group that went by the name of Sweetfeed and also Roberts, Rice, Bandell and Scott. We recorded with Roger Daltrey on his solo album "Ride A Rock Horse", and also with Brian Eno on his album "Here Come The Warm Jets". We never had any of our own recordings released or achieved commercial success, but our fans included David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Gary Glitter, Bryan Ferry, the Supremes and all of London high society, including members of the royal family.

xpost Pretty sure that is Fripp on the VdG album. I know he pops up a couple of places on "Pawn Hearts."
