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.
Hear for yourself with a podcast courtesy of the Bristol Festival of Ideas site.
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.
David Byrne is giving away "Please Don't", a track from his new album with Fatboy Slim, Here lies Love.

score for The Lovely Bones won't be in the Oscars. (Thanks to Richard
Joly).
The full
text of the December Dr Pangloss article is now available. (Thanks
to Radiocitizen).
So, what else do we have to look forward to from Brian in 2010? Positive: The release of The Lovely Bones in cinemas; a cover of a Peter Gabriel song for And I’ll Scratch Yours, part of Peter's Scratch My Back project; curating this year's Brighton Festival; production work for Coldplay; being a Rolex Mentor. Probable: A release of some of the music recorded at the Pure Scenius concerts. Possible: The collaboration with Herbie Hancock; Brian's book if he finishes it. Mind you, we did list those two last year...
