    • Experiment, this one I will take notes live (usually hard to do because I listen to podcasts while driving or walking)
    • Compares Eno to McLuhan, William Gibson, Glenn Gould (?)...in I guess they are very thoughtful about the nature of our attention and the techniques used to manipulated it. Theorists of the background
    • Documentary Imaginary Landscapes sounds good.
    • They also don't quite see Eno as "Weird" at least not obviously so. But "Weird" is weirdly hard to define so Eno might weirdly fit in.
    • Nice theory of the grunginess of airports
    • Suspicious of rhizomes and obliterating subjectivity...which makes sense given the slightly reactionary outlook of these folks...
    • They are on about "content" but that's not very interesting.
    • Hm, the idea that the Deleuzian reality of flows and rhizomes has actually come about since the 60s/80s and it sucks...interesting.
