It’s Friday, baby. It’s pay day, baby. Move those hips. Shuffle those feet. And consider reading this excellent 1981 Brian Eno interview about making this album + his other thoughts on music and collaboration (ty cjenkins for sharing with me.)
“The realities of life aren’t only harsh. Some realities are beautiful, and choosing to concentrate on them shouldn’t be regarded as a mortal sin. One of art’s functions is to present you with the possibility of a more desirable reality. Now some people may regard that as an escapist stance, and, indeed, maybe it is. I can’t deal with the world in a lot of respects, so I want to study other possible worlds. I need to find what it is I want in a world and see if I can move this one towards that. One way I do that is creating, through music, a simulacrum of the world I want.”
