Brian Eno - C or D?

the gratuitous shots of him getting ready and walking down a city street and smiling etc are pleasant but they are not a substitute for musical information
also in that category, i loved him at the flea market, talking about trash, and shooting the shit with Cindy

i am glad to have seen/heard all the parts that show process -- the band rehearsing, the guitar part on needle in the camel's eye (i think that's chris spedding? but i only know him as a rockabilly dude and he apparently hadn't reached that point in the 70s) i would like about 45 more minutes of that please.

i don't really know much about chris spedding but i am obsessed with his song "video life." most of his other songs i've heard are loosely rockabilly-ish, yeah, but he did a ton of session stuff too. i believe he's rumored to have played a lot on "never mind the bollocks" too.

He plays a lot with Bryan Ferry and Robert Gordon (there's your rockabilly).

and John Cale!

yes that's spedding

Wow, that doc is amazing to have. How in the world has it only now suddenly appeared in such good condition?

Man, replacing the "element of skill" with the "element of judgement," I just love how his brain works, what a total genius. I wish someone would publish a book of every single interview he has ever given.

When and why did rock stars in the '70s go through a kimono phase?

Sparks iirc

I guess the Cindy at 18'08 is the Cindy of 'Cindy Tells Me', never realised it was inspired by a real person. Anyone know if she recorded anything?

i deleted my comment about his robe!
i think i wanted to post about his robe at all because ultimately i am jealous he had the freedom to wear it

i always get that feeling abut him -- the parts with his costume designer were quite nice too. i had never seen her at work before. she seemed cool.

"ENO - Alpho..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Catpics AG

heres the article

Oh fuck a duck!

I have the video in playable format currently in an unclosed tab but... (warning: tech talk) my browser renders the mkv as a blob in js.

Any tips on how to extract blob?

Worst case I can screencap it and upload to gdrive or something.

In retrospect I should have done that thing where you replace the "www.youtube.com/watch?v=" with "www.youtube.com/v/" to brute force it to flash.

trying to u/l to d'box. hopefully my original download worked

hero

Nevermind, I scraped it. Bear with me for re-up (not on the fastest network rn).

Aggggh what cunt pulled this? Just sat down to watch it on the telly with booze, you fucker.

oh lol, I'll wait for outdoor_miner to give it a shot.

fuck, mine is watchable but has an annoying RF code obscuring the upper left corner.

how do i shot blob?

Copyright holder Catpics is in fact the company of Alphons Sinniger, who made the docu.

that's the bloody file, but i think you need to sign in to use it? unless someone can advise a luddite otherwise.

hmm, it seems you only gave clearance for the file to yourself? (tach*** e-mail address)

(asked you for access, let's see if you got that and can give it)

It looks like you have to grant people access?

t****✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧ was given access, but you’re signed in as j*******✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧.

xpost

In any case, if you have the file, uploading it to wetransfer would be even better/more easy

sorry, thought i made it accessible. am wet ransfering. . . give us a half hour
think i fixed the d'box access https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1lqe3b4npusqnv/ENO%20-%20Alphons%20Sinniger.mp4?dl=0
but will follow through w/ the aforementioned and post when done

thanks, that works!

Hero, thanks so much!

<3 <3 <3

second upload failed me so i give up for now, but i'm glad one of 'em worked! but that opening sequence of him on piano is neat. like, no trained musician would likely think to play the keys in such an unconventional way (except maybe Irmin Schmidt?) but the effect is cool as hell

Oh! Thx NTI for the heads-up on this

download works for me... thank you so much!

outdoor_miner is a local hero, thank you

thank you, o_m

oh wow. i had seen brian eno's tweet with the YouTube link yesterday morning and opened it in a window to watch at the end of the day. another thanks to outdoor miner!

That actually isn't Eno's personal twitter -- but that's where I found it as well. And o_m, thanks so much for uploading this -- even tho I shared it, I had the in-laws in town and I hadn't seen it yet either! So I just watched it now.

As noted, this documentary of his first album is like an Easter egg for virtually his whole career in there:

Roxy alumnus and longtime collaborators like Spedding and Busta Cherry Jones
Portsmouth Simphonia
Ambient tape loops
Treatments (with the VCS3 mounted in the board no less)
Muses like Cindy
Busker musicians (how he met Laraaji)

So great.

you forgot "making things out of rubbish" <3

That actually isn't Eno's personal twitter

Too true! Just saw someone who had retweeted it.

THANK YOU for grabbing this outdoor miner ... psyched to watch.
the "brian eno" twitter account is annoying to me — everyone thinks it's eno tweeting out links to king crimson bootlegs for some reason.

are you talking about dark shark?

Yeah that’s the one (the actual content is fine but I think a great deal of his followers think they’re retweeting eno himself).

Same account just posted it on Vimeo:
