"Yoko Eno" would probably work as well.

One way to complete Pashmina's chain:

Brian Eno > David Bowie > Adrian Belew > Laurie Anderson > William S. Burroughs > Kurt Cobain

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:43 (9 years ago) Permalink

ie., Adrian Belew and William S. Burroughs both worked with Laurie Anderson on Mister Heartbreak. Burroughs released a collaboration with Cobain.

Yoko Eno. Hahahahahaa

Actually, you could save a few steps, because Eno has worked with Anderson directly.

Brian Eno > Laurie Anderson > Burroughs > Cobain

There must be some way to do it via No New York but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Brian Eno invented Ambient. Kurt Cobain played with Earth who played Ambient music. Also he produced the Melvins whose Joe Preston has released albums of ambient as Thrones.

Yeah, uh .. Stewart said that on the 4th post in the thread.

sorry, i didn't read the whole thing. i found this on a website called ultimate sloth or something like that(it's in the air):

Brian fucking Eno!! Do I sound like that when I talk about Kurt Cobain?

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 19 December 2003 00:57 (9 years ago) Permalink

here is a bang on a can all-stars set list:

Kurt Cobain Lithium (arr. Ziporyn)
Michael Gordon I Buried Paul
Steppenwolf Born To Be Wild (arr.
Lang)
Brian Eno Burning Airlines Give you So
Much More (arr. Ziporyn)
Brian Eno Everything Merges With the
Night (arr. Ziporyn)

ha! ok, I think Scott wins for the Bang on a Can thing.

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 19 December 2003 02:00 (9 years ago) Permalink

And what about the version of "Music for Airports" that Bang on a Can did? That makes an even shorter connection, doesn't it?

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 19 December 2003 02:42 (9 years ago) Permalink

Eno's last album ever should be called Ugh.

― ermes marana, Friday, 19 December 2003 03:04 (9 years ago) Permalink

Eno made an album called My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. Since the cessation of his life, Cobain's ghost has been represented by the band Bush, who are a witless bag of piss.

oh man, the top of this thread especially is pretty hilarious. dave2225 or whatever his name is killed me.

Eno sounds like Emo. Emo Phillips was in UHF, a movie starring Weird Al. Weird Al covered Nirvana.

Nirvana's Dave Grohl was previously in Scream, whose first record (done before Grohl was in the band) was engineered by Don Zientara. Don Zientara also recorded Mock Turtle's "Thank You for Sending Me an Eno" for Limp Record's 1978 :30 Over D.C. comp LP.

Eno produced a track for The Walkabouts > Walkabouts on Sub Pop > Cobain on Sub Pop

― dlp9001, Monday, 3 November 2008 01:47 (4 years ago) Permalink

Oh, also:

Kurt Cobain > Pat Smear (played in Nirvana) > Belinda Carlisle (in Germs w/Smear) > Brian Eno (keyboards on a Carlisle solo album)

― dlp9001, Monday, 3 November 2008 01:57 (4 years ago) Permalink

When Colin Newman was a Watford Art College student he sometimes hung out with Eno (and Watford tutor/Oblique Strategies cocreator Peter Schmidt). So, Eno > influenced Wire > influenced Albini > produced In Utero.

You guys never considered the 60s Nirvana in this equation?

1) Eno played synth on the Walkabouts track "Train to Mercy".
2) The Walkabouts and Nirvana both appear on the Sup Pop 200 comp.

brian eno compiled that no new wave thing.
lydia lunch was part of the movement.
she recorded a song with sonic youth (and with thurston moore) - death valley 69.
sonic youth brought nirvana to DGC and toured with them.

Eno produced the first Devo album. Nirvana covered Devo.

1) Brian Eno was a member of Roxy Music.
2) Chris Thomas produced a bunch of Roxy Music albums.
3) Chris and Patrick Campbell-Lyons worked together in the band Second Thoughts.
2) Patrick is a member of Nirvana (UK).

The relation between Eno and Nirvana is that of opposites. Eno is a pure aesthete who, while inspired by the urgency of rock, abstracts everything and never fully shows his hand. Cobain, though he was into all manner of artiness, expressed himself with his heart on his sleeve. Eno's all about oblique strategies, looking at the world askance and bemused; Nirvana were aiming for direct communication -- Cobain stares at you, or at his own reflection, and howls.

i've used the term "witless bag of piss" since this post!

In some alternate universe, Eno produced Cobain's fourth solo album, released in 2003. It was terrible.
