Part Two Of Brian Eno Interview Tonight

From the brow of the superbrian...

Don't forget to tune in to Tom Robinson for the second part of his Brian Eno interview on the BBC's 6 Music Evening Sequence at 19:00 UK time tonight.

Last week's instalment (04.25.2006 NEWS: NEW BRIAN ENO INTERVIEW ON 6 MUSIC TOMORROW) was a fascinating listen that took the listener up to the recording of "Heroes", including some lovely anecdotes from Brian about the conflicting Oblique Strategies instructions that he and David were working with independently of each other for the recording of Moss Garden.

According to Eno, while David drew the card with the instruction: "Destroy everything" Brian's instruction was: "Change nothing and continue with immaculate consistency". What a fun day that must have been!

(Anal Blammo note: Sorry Brian, but there is no "Destroy everything" card. In fact, the closest is "Destroy - nothing - the most important thing" - Which I guess would produce a similar result.)

Bowie content aside, it's a great listen anyway. The first part includes a play of the first record the young Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno ever bought, Get a Job by The Silhouettes, (a recording also enjoyed by the young David Robert Jones) through to his time with Roxy Music and The Portsmouth Sinfonia.

If you missed that broadcast you still have a few hours to listen again before tonight's second part. The Eno interview starts around 34 mins in and the Bowie stuff commences at about 1 hour and 15 mins in.

Presumably the interview will continue this evening with the recording of Lodger and will hopefully touch on the making of 1. Outside, too.
