Marsh writes: we've made a wee
film about the Arena title sequence which includes a brief chat with
David Toop about Another Green World, plus a chance to hear some one-off
'reversions' of the theme in blues and ska versions (who knew?) hope you enjoy...
David
Evans writes from his iPod Nano: Saw
The Lovely Bones yesterday. Story OK, effects very good, music mostly
worked very well. You may be interested to know that apart from the original
music, we get "1/1" from Airports, and instrumentals from
"Third Uncle", "The Great Pretender", and "Baby's On
Fire". Also a bit of "The Big Ship" and one of the Eno/Budd tracks.

Ever wondered
how Brian fills his time between record releases? Well, in January he was shooting
the breeze about the purpose of Art (thanks to Radiocitizen), and in February
he attended the the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year shortlist party.

Brennan writes: Without her knowledge
my mum's front door was filmed at the start of the documentary Brian Eno - Another
Green World and made to look as if it was Brian Eno's (they cut to the inside
and there he is collecting his mail). She has had a few callers today - she
is still seeing the funny side. What would you do? You think this could snowball?
- Oh look, it's on Vimeo At least, it was. (thanks to Roland Reinke)
DJ Food
has put together a mix called More Volts: The Funky Eno.

EnoWeb
shows how hip, happening, down wi' da kids, street, and really gear it is, with
this first-ever review by txt msg about the Brand-Eno event in Bristol. Yes
indeedy, this site is the icest, there's no doubt about it. Richard Mills
thumbs:
Very good talk in a large hall that was once a church. About 5 or 600 people there. Eno gave an introductory talk about nuclear power and Stewart Brand. Brand spoke about nuclear and there was a short Q&A. Afterwards in the crypt cafe there was a signing by Brand while Brian tried to drink red wine and avoid autograph hunters.

Eno is
back -- and this time it's sandwiches. The 02010 Long Finance Conference takes
place on 1st February at Gresham College in London, with the usual Long Now
Foundation suspects in attendance using up the Earth's precious resources by
adding an extra 0 to everything. The event is sold out though.
A year
ago the Sound On Sound podcast had an extract from the speech Brian
gave when he received the Joe Meek Award For Innovation In Production. EnoWeb,
first with the news.

Random
thought: beginning to think that 15-year-old album 1.Outside was so
far ahead of its time that it represents the first album for the iPod Generation...
for truly, its track sequence sounds as if it is running in shuffle mode.
