Brian Eno celebrated his birthday two days ago, so what better day than a Sunday to stay in bed read this affectionate article in the New York Times (not paywalled) and listen through nearly 50 years of Eno’s (ambient) back catalogue. If that’s not enough, you can listen to Brian in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist; maybe drop the intro and start 5 minutes in.

Butter Lamp won at La Semaine de la Critique in Cannes in 2013 and was nominated at the 87th Academy Awards.

You’ve got the money, I’ve got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
’Cause I’ve got the style it takes

You’ve got connections and I’ve got the art
You like my attention and I like your looks
and I have the style it take
and you know the people it takes
