ICYMI, he's got his own twitter account now
On May 4, I will release Music For Installations, a massive box set of all the new, rare, or unreleased music I’ve written for various art installations from 1986 on. I plan to be tweeting about it.— Brian Eno (@BrianEnoMusic) April 15, 2018

lol, that first tweet i posted (https://twitter.com/BrianEnoMusic/status/985579839821352960) was posted 4 minutes ago, and has already been deleted. it said something like "i'll do soundcloud reposts for $50 a pop"
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 15 April 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
i wonder if someone DM'd them and told them that was illegal or something. i'm not sure if it is illegal to impersonate someone else and then offer to repost soundcloud songs for $50 a pop, but it would be a really interesting trial
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 15 April 2018 18:14 (six years ago) link
haha yeah, that might go beyond a "parody account" defense. fake twitter accounts are pretty irritating — i've been seeing people reposting the Bill Murray one with something about Syria, saying "Bill is the best" etc. Obviously a small thing to complain about, but still ...
― tylerw, Sunday, 15 April 2018 18:20 (six years ago) link

has anyone else read "A Year With Swollen Appendices"? I'm into late April and... it does not really paint a very flattering picture of the artist, imo.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
which maybe is to his credit, like a warts-and-all approach? I dunno, I'm finding it disillusioning.

I bought the 2004 remaster of B&AS -- damn, so many instruments I hadn't heard before. Phil Collins is insane on "No One's Receiving."

― sleeve,
I love the in-the-studio moments with Bowie and U2. I even enjoy the drinking-at-Bono's-chateau sections. In my early teaching days, I used his lecture on culture a couple times.
yeah I did really like the "Outside" parts, it's the personal stuff that grates
lots of great quotes and tossed-off ideas, for sure, and I love reading about his working methods and music theories
― sleeve, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 22:37 (six years ago) link
also those 2004 remasters are fantastic, agreed
kids are annoying sometimes idk

i read on some faraway beach and my worst impression was that he was an insufferable perv and probably a bit precious about his ideasnothing severely offputting, or not enough to bother me

26th August:Pissed into an empty bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss', so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing.

It's a weird book for sure. His obsession with photoshopping female arses is a detail that sticks in my memory.

Worst part of Year With Swollen Appendices is him bitching about Graceland, tries to allege that Simon invaded his personal cultural space, ie, the white guy bringing African music to the masses... Pretty sure he uses the phrase “my personal garden” to refer to African music commercially released in the West.
Was ages ago that I read it but I remember my biggest lol being him complaining about a massive surplus of wibbly instrumental ambient CDs flooding the market, saying in response, I want words! I want messages! What kind of music offers that? Rap? Hmm, no not that...
― sciatica, Wednesday, 18 April 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link
omg wowthat's petty & grossi think bitching in general is nagl
he needs to get a filter for his thoughts to filter these things out before he commits them to writing

If you're not prepared to show us your warts, don't publish a diary.

yeah that's fair, I was just surprised that so much relatively unflattering stuff got left in
― sleeve, Wednesday, 18 April 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
LOL, yes I remember that bit. I always remember his Top Tip on how not to forget to save stuff you're working on on a computer, which was put a book on your head and every time it falls off, save. I've never done it though, but I'm not convinced Eno has either.
― (Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
has he mentioned the book since or has he kind of disowned it?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 18 April 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link
I'd be surprised if he disowned it tbhHeh xp everyone remembers the piss-drinking bit if nothing else, it is one of the top Brian Eno piss anecdotes (there are a few because eno is a piss guy)

It’s mostly fine, lots of oh I could spend New Years Eve with Bono in Sarajevo but I’m just not feeling it, would love to shag his wife though, maybe next year? kinda stuff. He reveals he’s never been paid any royalties for Are We Not Men? Somewhere on ILM sexyDancer I think called him a “flouncing housewife” with basically no responsibilities and who’s never held to account and that seems accurate to me.
Also worth noting he writes a lot about the War Child charity which turned out to be a total scam a couple years later. He also gets rolled with some kind of elaborate gym membership after a lady trainer praises him. He published a diary too late imo, he’s mostly just a clueless rich asshole at this point, more than 20 years ago now...

this sounds pretty sexist to me; to me he sounds like petulant (and gross) adolescent who hasn't realized that his every thought does not need to be seen/heard
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:12 (six years ago) link
yeah sorry, search isn’t turning up the post I was thinking of so I’m probably misremembering, apologies to sexyDancer, your simile is much more accurate for sure

it's fine i just don't like the feminization of his behavior, which seems textbook brat to me. that is the word to comes to my mind at least.

Was War Child “a total scam”? Or was there some corruption in later years? Not sure why this would be a knock regardless as this article suggests the latter and that Pavarotti and Eno both resigned as a result: https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2017/apr/10/whistleblower-war-child-need-anonymity-corruptionAnyway, I loved Swollen Appendices BTW – for many of the reasons many seem to be criticizing it. The warts, the admitted ass-love, the dilettante-ism, the risotto recipes and doting dad stuff (doesn’t he take baths with his young daughters?). This was a pretty active time for him as well (Passengers, Wobble, Outside, early James sessions for Whiplash).

My favouritest part of the Eno diary when I was a teenager was when he railed against Saul from James and his inability to stick with a single good idea
I don't know why I liked that so much! I think I just wanted to be in James, instead of Saul
