This LCD Soundsystem song reminds me of an Eno tune - what is it?!!!!!
9:46am
Ne-guh-tor:
You know, this LCD stuff really lifts a huge page from Eno. Do they credit him as co-author of this new record? Where did they get Fripp to play on this track?

This melody (Warm Jets) just left my head after 2 days. It has now been reinstated. Could be worse. I had the "Peek Freens" jingle in my head for a year when I was 11.
9:53am

I swear it's a combination of samples of Eno's entire career in one song. Even that bleep-n-bloop synth at the end of that song reminded me of Eno with Roxy!

I dreamed they were up in Calumet, MI and they were playing the Houghton County State Fair. I had heard they were being interviewed, and leaving the TV station. I lined up and the guys were all, "we're selling stuff after the show, so bring your things to sign then."
For some reason I kept chasing after Daryl asking him questions about this show I saw him do about seven years ago. "I thought it was cool that Todd Rundgren opened up! Do you remember when he messed up on the teleprompter? How long have you known him?" Darryl was answering my questions but then started to run toward the limo.
10:01am
Cecile:
I was crushed and embarrassed.
But my husband said, "you asked good questions. I'm sure he was too busy to talk."
We were debating over if we should even go to the show when I woke up.

Hey look! Pictures! How many frames per second is that?

Darryl was to be the lead singer for King Crimson at one time, right? Then he sang with Fripp on Exposure, right?

dei xhrist:
Cecile, you should have played the Oblique Chick card.
10:02am
Cecile:
That's right!
And his solo record North Star has Fripp all over it, and Beyond the Red Ledge was produced by Fripp.

My last Flight of Conchords dream was way more disturbing and much cooler.

Ken, the Real Fish album is also called When The World Was Young and it was released on the Invitation label in 1987. (thanks to discogs.com)

It involved Bret McKenzie being born like Athena out of my ankle and then detaching and floating away in a womb-balloon while I chased around Teletubby land while it flew away shouting and waving my hands.
