Brian Eno - C or D?

I had a really tough day, just a fucking flailing everything-is-20x-as-hard-as-it-needs-to-be-because-my-brain-is-wired-wrong day. Eventually I stopped trying to do anything productive because everything I tried to do devolved into fiasco, and sitting with Mrs HD talking after, we listened first to Apollo and then to Discreet Music, and it was just so thoroughly healing, exactly what I needed.

I listen to the 1-hour An ending (ascent) in loop whenever I'm anxious, it helps me so much

Eno has a cold that won’t quit.

you think he has it bad, you should see frank sinatra!

I just wish there was a Nico version of I’m Set Free.

Was listening to the Kinks this morning, and it suddenly clicked that "Lazy Old Sun" reminded me of something that could have been on "Here Come the Warm Jets"

Six-degrees-ing it a little, there are some other Kinks connections. Eno et al. covered "You Really Got Me" with 808:

And then, allegedly, Lou Reed once called "Lazy Old Sun" his favorite Kinks song, which is another loose connection to Eno (as VU acolyte).

The song also reminds of stuff like the Tall Dwarfs, too, who themselves sometimes remind me of early Eno.

Lazy Old Sun is seriously druggy. I totally get the Dwarfs/Eno thing. Slippery vocal?

The reminiscing in twilight years reminds me a bit of Bowie's Where Are We Now

Lovely. I wish that nerd would sing more.

love it, I too wish he hadn't taken so much time off from doing vocal records

Eno says he doesn't think he can sing that well but I dunno, he's better than a number of his contemporaries I feel

aaaaaaah how can I get this in FLAC/lossless??

It's included in the doc soundtrack, which is out in April

Eno doing the modest music for a Patriotic Millionaires video with super wealthy people imploring policymakers to tax the super rich: https://x.com/patrioticmills/status/1780717878796292150?s=46&t=4DK5sD-8gsSKFExcsnEJqg
