Our previous update was on 19th January when we wrote:

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.

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.

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...
