  1. "Pride (In the Name of Love)" is a song by Irish #rock band U2. It is the second track on the band's 1984 album, #TheUnforgettableFire, and was released as its lead #single in September 1984. The song was produced by #BrianEno and #DanielLanois. Written about the civil rights leader #MartinLutherKingJr, "#Pride" received mixed critical reviews at the time, but it was a major commercial success for U2 and has since become one of their most popular songs.

  2. Billy Bob Thornton – „All die schönen Pferde“ (2000)

    Billy Bob Thorntons Adaption eines Romans von Cormac McCarthy wurde verstümmelt, missverstanden, verschoben – und ist doch einer der stillsten, zärtlichsten und zugleich düstersten Filme seines Jahrzehnts. Wer sich auf die Risse einlässt, entdeckt dazwischen etwas Seltenes: Wahrhaftigkeit. Mit Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz, Henry Thomas, Rubén Blades und Sam Shepard. (ZDF, Wh.)

  3. listening to #TheJoshuaTree by #U2, which I sometimes do. I used to work in Virgin Records in '87 and we played it multiple times a day for about 5 months or more so I know it really well. I love the production on it (#BrianEno and #DanielLanois) but I don't own the LP and I mostly think U2 are not good, with #Bono being particularly unlikeable*. Is it possible to like an LP whilst also not liking it?

    Never mind the music, feel the production.

    *why is Bongo facing to the left, all edgy?

  4. Brian Eno - Textures (1989)

    An unreleased album of ambient cues and themes from Brian Eno, pressed as a promo-only CD for The Standard Music Library – an organization that licenses music for television programming and films. Eleven of the tracks are unreleased, while the 10 others are variations of recordings (with new names) that were released on Music For Films III, The Shutov Assembly and Neroli. A Wiki reader has supplied the source titles. Composers Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois are also on board. You can pretty much imagine any of this stuff floating behind barren landscapes on the BBC, or some National Geographic slo-mo underwater exploration, which are the types of clients this CD was designed to attract. You can’t buy this in stores. There’s more Eno in the archives.

  6. Bob Dylan, Oh Mercy, 1989 on Columbia

    Dylan’s 26th studio album, produced by Daniel Lanois and recorded in New Orleans. “Political World,” “Where Teardrops Fall,” and “Everything is Broken” make a great opening trio on side 1 – but really a great album overall.

    My copy—via Waterloo Records in Austin TX—is a Carrollton GA pressing with original inner sleeve from 1989.

  10. Thursday, What A Concept! | Brian Eno – Thursday Afternoon (1985, UK)

    It’s been a while since our last entry in our “Thursday, What A Concept” series, so our next spotlight is on the somewhat conceptual album that is number 872 on The List, submitted by leonardo.

    The concept: Thursday Afternoon is the 60-minute ambient track/long-play CD rearranged from the soundtrack to Thursday Afternoon, an 80-minute long video composed of seven ambient “video paintings” that were filmed on a Thursday afternoon in 1984, produced by Eno and Daniel Lanois. The pieces in Thursday Afternoon the video were not meant to be focused on directly and, in their original media (VHS and Beta), the TV set had to be turned onto its right side to make the vertical format viewable. Similarly, the “holographic” nature of Thursday Afternoon the album does not argue for it being focused on directly either. But, perhaps, if you turn your speakers onto their right side, you may gain the skill of not focusing directly on the fact that it is, presently, only Thursday afternoon.

    Thursday Afternoon – what a concept!

  11. Daniel Lanois playing solo ambient pedal steel/electronica set at the gorgeous St Ann's in Brooklyn (where BK Folk fest is held) as part of the Reflections (spin-off of Ambient Church) on 2/22. All those shows are amazing and highly recommended, this will be special.

  12. "Sledgehammer" is a song by the English #rock musician #PeterGabriel. It was released in April 1986 as the lead single from his fifth studio album, #So (1986). It was produced by Gabriel and #DanielLanois. It reached No. 1 in Canada on 21 July 1986, where it spent four weeks; No. 1 on the #Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States on 26 July 1986; and No. 4 on the #UKSinglesChart, thanks in part to its #musicVideo. It was his biggest hit in North America.

  13. As I count down my favourite Tragically Hip songs on this July 4th, here is the story of one of their most "American" songs, "Little Bones" from the Road Apples album. Recorded in New Orleans, "Little Bones" is filled with U.S. cultural references. The driving force of the music was influenced by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Happy July 4th to all who celebrate.

  14. All right, y’all know the drill by now. Continuing our (kinda sorta) Prince-themed 6 Degrees series, connecting albums from The List and carrying on from where we left off last time. This is essentially a guest post as avi_miller provided the connections for the last four albums in this set, so a big thank you to them!

    Prince 6

    Some fun connections between this group of artists and The Purple One. Let me know in the comments if you know of any others!

    • In 1990, Prince invited Kate Bush to meet him after a show, and they decided to collaborate. The two couldn’t again get in the same room, so “Why Should I Love You?” (released on Bush’s 1993 album The Red Shoes) took 2 years to create (or, rather, construct, then deconstruct, then reconstruct…) by sending tapes back and forth.
    • Kate Bush does backing vocals on Prince’s “My Computer“, from his 1996 album, Emancipation.
    • The soundtrack to the 1995 film Showgirls features two Prince songs (The Gold Experience‘s “319” and Crystal Ball‘s “Ripopgodezippa”) as well as David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans”, which was co-written by Brian Eno.
    • Both Prince’s Purple Rain and Brian Eno’s Another Green World have inspired custom perfumes made by dublab that are supposedly meant to, umm, smell like them (like the albums, not the musicians).
    • Both Prince and Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist and leader of the band Rainbow, are known as two of the greatest guitarists of all time, and both loved to break out lengthy but spectacular solos. On Rolling Stone‘s 2023 list of the top 250 guitarists, Prince ranked at number 14, and Blackmore at 75. (There are actually a ton of artists from The List on Rolling Stone‘s list, because we have great taste.)
    • Prince and Ronnie James Dio (the singer for Rainbow at the time of the Rainbow Rising album) both packed an enormous amount of talent in a smaller frame – the two were nearly the same height (with or without their fabulous high heels). (And speaking of fashion, some of Dio’s stage outfits wouldn’t look too out of place on Prince, and vice versa.)

    Tune in on Friday for Part 6, to see how we get from Rainbow to Madhouse!

  15. Per my friend Ian Wade, who makes it his business to know release anniversaries, this is now 40 years old. Among my top ten or so of albums that I can say that if I want to listen to something but just have no idea what, I can put this on and be happy. (And #ForAllMankind is an amazing film.) #ApolloAtmospheresAndSoundtracks #BrianEno #RogerEno #DanielLanois #music
