More Eno

Good God, this is fine stuff. I only listened to the second half (the second file listed) because I couldn't stand to listen to "I Zimbra" slowed down to what sounds like 16 rpm (if you listen to the first half you'll see what I mean). Anyone who is interested in the history of recorded music will find something meaningful in this interview.

I wish you could find more interviews like this with musicians actually talking about their craft, as opposed to the part they played in whatever "movement" they were in. I guess Fresh Air delves into it a bit, but Terry Gross always ends up on a goofy tangent and it kills the interview*.

For all of you living outside of DC, the flooding is not as bad as they say it is, which is not to say that some people don't have it really bad right now. But ABC news made it sound like Bangledesh. And then my mom calls all worried. Charles Gibson, I shake my fist at you! And uvulate!

*like when she asked Stephin Merritt if he ever serenades his lover(s)
