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.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 16 March 2024 19:06 (two months ago) link
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

saw the Eno documentary last night in SF, I highly recommend catching it if there are many more of these generative screenings with the director in attendance. There will be non-generative, but different versions, screening later on this summer in SF at the Roxy and I assume elsewhere. Bonus: Daniel Lanois sitting a few rows ahead of me looking like a biker pirate (he's also doing an ambient show tonight at Grace Cathedral)

was walking down the street yesterday and somebody was jamming to "needles in the camels eye"
people usually listen to hipster shit but that song's catchy enough that i felt compelled to say "eno, cool" to him

This is good work.

$31 for that Eno doc in DC tonight. I can't make it anyway
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 16 May 2024 18:42 (four days ago) link
it was $45 in SF so that's a deal. Also, these are special screenings in that they are essentially edited and assembled on the fly (and the director is in attendance). I imagine he may be able to find a streaming partner who can enable this same experience at some point.

Why would they be editing it? Isn't this the generative documentary that's different every time you watch it? Or am I misunderstanding this?
― Naive Teen Idol, Friday, 17 May 2024 15:12 (three days ago) link
I thought I read that it was "computer" edited each time to be different (and I wonder if that just means that the director actually has access to lots of footage and just shifts it in and out each time)
― curmudgeon, Friday, 17 May 2024 16:41 (three days ago) link
It is generatively edited on the fly each time it's shown, yes. It runs off some kind of hardware build by teenage engineering that he's named Brain One. The sequences are anywhere from 2-8 minutes long, maybe some are longer.
