Brian Eno on music, art, and creativity

Dec 30, 2015

Steven Johnson sits down for a chat with Brian Eno about his theories of music, art, and creativity. “We’re going to be in a world of ultrafast change,” Eno said. “It’s really accelerating at the moment and will continue to. And we’re going to have to somehow stay coherent. What are we going to be doing? I think we’re going to be even more full-time artists than we are now.”

“When you look at a painting, you don’t just see that painting, you see every painting you’ve ever seen.”

“A painting doesn’t exist for any other reason other than to be a painting.”

At first I thought this was brilliant, and now I love the last response.

Lemmy from Motorhead On Racism

Dec 30, 2015

“I am not, nor have I ever been, a racist. Nor should you be. How can you hate a race? Can you not, with your brain (which seems to be inter-racially supplied) distinguish between people who are okay and people who are assholes? Politicians foster racism—it keeps us fighting each other, and that keeps us from throwing them out of office. Vietnam–there’s a thing—blacks and whites, and Japanese and Vietnamese, and Irish and Indians—fighting together. For the wrong cause, though no less bravely. Do you think we could give bravery a fucking rest? Except in the case of a fire, or a woman and child trapped in Oklahoma City? Being scared of people makes you kill them. We got probes in space that go to the stars, and we might go soon, ourselves. What are we going to take with us? Hate? WORK AGAINST IT. Hasta la vista, motherfuckers.”
— from Lemmy’s September 1995 magazine column in RIP.

Simple Minds’ Isolated Vocals For “Alive And Kicking”

Dec 29, 2015

Simple Minds’ Once Upon a Time from 1985 is one huge-sounding album, one of my favourite on CD. Mel Gaynor’s drums, Jimmy Iovine and Bob Clearmountain’s production, it’s so stadium-shaking, with a carload of songs to match.

Although already successful in their native UK and Europe, the band had also now become popular in the US, mainly due to the Keith Forsey-penned “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” which appeared on The Breakfast Club soundtrack and had become a No.1 hit there. However, the band deliberately left the track off the album due to their reluctance to record it. Four singles were taken from the album; “Alive And Kicking” (UK No. 7, US #3), “All The Things She Said” (UK No. 9, US #28), “Sanctify Yourself” (UK No. 10, US #14), and “Ghost Dancing” (UK #13). The album topped the UK charts, and peaked at No.10 on the US charts (5 consecutive weeks in Top 10 of Billboard and 16 weeks in Top 20).

Here’s Jim Kerr’s isolated vocals for “Alive And Kicking”, where you can hear a bit of guitar from Charlie Burchill in the mix.
