Brian Eno vs. Glenn Branca vs. Modern Music
Here’s Brian Eno feeling optimistic about today’s post-modern recombinant musical landscape, and here’s Glenn Branca feeling quite the opposite. Branca mostly comes off as cranky, and doesn’t really make any coherent argument. Not sure Eno quite backs up his happy talk either, but he’s also not talking rocket science here. I’d rather hang with Eno, but I already knew that.

Supermarket in C by Malcom Goldie
An experiment in ‘public sound’ - the checkout tills in this supermarket are re-programmed to emit their ‘beeps’ as a random note from within the scale of C Major.
Ends up sounding something like Eno’s Discreet Music, minus all the delay. Soothing, really.
