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

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
