The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

I've no hate for Swift, still can't name any more than two of her songs. But I saw a clip of her at media/red-carpet kind of event and all the posing, posing, posing and attitude just makes a person say, "whut a weird life."
And I don't favor hearing more and more and more about her.
Too cruel to say the Eno/Swift project will be Music for Airheads?

That restaurant reminds me of the state of Oklahoma's motto: "Oklahoma Is OK."
One imagines a shrug to accompany that slogan.
There's a state with a bit of a self-esteem issue.
