Last night I stayed up to 2 am playing Tap Defense on my iPod Touch. This is such a fun game! I also stayed in bed this morning till noon just listening to music and playing this game. If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, then I suggest you download it since it’s free. If you have a Zune, then throw it away! J/K! All respects to all hand-held portable mp3 playas!
I’m listening to the new U2 CD right now as I blog and all I can say is that Brian Eno is a genius. U2, early last year, was working with Rick Ruben (go ahead and Wikipedia him, he’s probably one of the best producers in the past 20 years) but for some reason they put all of those songs that they recorded on the shelf and went back to Steve Lillywhite, Daniel Lanois, and Brian Eno. Steve Lillywhite is the crazy guy, he records silence, SILENCE!, and uses it on songs! He’s crazy I tell ya! Daniel Lanois is the laid back, acoustic, ballad guy. Brian Eno is the weird guy that likes to play with around they atmospheric sounds. I’m looking at the liner notes it continually it says “Music by U2, Brian Eno, & Danny Lanois.”
I love the Edge! He's probably my favorite guitar player of all time! Just listen to the 0:59 mark, it's so beautiful!
I really like all three of these producers, but Brian Eno is my favorite. When I heard that Coldplay was going to be working w/ Eno on their newest CD, Viva La Vida…, I knew that it was going to be filled with really cool atmospheric keyboard parts. Just listen to the opening track, Life in Technocolor, from Liva La Vida; that’s all Brian Eno’s influence. Seriously, Brian Eno is amazing! I personally like the Prospekt's March EP more then Viva La Vida, not saying that Viva La Vida... is bad, BUT both combined together make for the best 19 track album that I've listened to in a long time.
Brian Eno has this Apple iPhone/iPod Touch application called “Bloom” that I also love, it’s actually the first application that I’ve ever paid money for. I love it, I play with it when ever I need to relaxe or when I want to journal. It’s great and it’s only $3.99!
Thanks for listening to me for the past 30 minutes! I greatly appreciate it!
