“No Brian. It’s your turn to make the f*ck*ng breakfast, and I’m not
singing another note until you’ve done it. Raw egg for me please.”
My friends talk…
For those of you that missed it the first time around, the final part of the current re-run of Chain Reaction on BBC Radio Four has Brian Peter St. John Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno as the featured guest tonight. Though first aired back in February, it’s a very entertaining half hour in which Eno is interviewed by comic book writer Alan Moore, and definitely worth another listen.
If you’re not familiar with the format, Chain Reaction is a simple idea where a well-known figure from the entertainment industry begins the series interviewing the person of their choice. The following week the interviewee becomes interviewer and chats to their chosen guest. And so on and so on… Sadly, being the last interviewee of the series, Mr Eno doesn’t get to sit in the interviewer’s chair.
Without giving too much away, in tonight’s show Brian talks about leaving Roxy Music, working with David Bowie and the advantages of a giant man-eating spider.
The 30 minute programme starts at 23:00 GMT tonight (Tuesday 24th May) on BBC Radio Four (92-95 FM and 198 LW). Listen online here. Thanx to One Brain for the pointer.
The latest studio album by Brian Eno, Another Day On Earth, is released through Ryko on June 13th…and it even has some songs on it!
