You hate yourself? That is so messed up, man.

Yeah, imagine that. A self-loather who posts on the internet all day long. Some one call National Geographic.

I would, but I'm too busy loathing myself to address your loathing.
― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 28 January 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)
Actually, what's most interesting is where the audience DIDN'T laugh.

I particularly liked this bit of Moore's Eno interview:
Eno: [...] this is a big interest for me, lyric generators. That’s something I’m working on at the moment.
Moore: Really?
Eno: Yeah, I think that’s... Lyrics are really the last very hard problem in music. Software -and hardware- have changed the rest of music dramatically in the last thirty, forty years. It’s very very easy to make pretty good music. I could take anyone in this room and within two hours we could make a pretty good piece of music. I mean, pretty good isn’t very interesting, but pretty good is possible.
But writing songs is just about in the same place it was in the days of Chaucer. Apart from hip hop: hip hop is the only sort of breakthrough in a way -rap. Because it breaks away from the strict adherence to melody and beat structure and so on. But the problem of how you write a song that is in any way original is a really interesting one, I think. [...]
Moore: I’m fascinated by this idea of a lyric generator, because it’ll probably just, like, make me completely redundant and ruin my plans for a contented retirement. How far are you along with it? [laughs]
Anyone know anything about this lyric generator Eno is working on?
