Reckon you can get away with not doing any work for 80 minutes? Well, we figure you might as well do something productive with that time and watch one of the most important figures in contemporary music, Brian Eno, in conversation from New York City earlier this week.

Eno spoke at the Red Bull Music Academy in New York City earlier this week and discussed everything from his 77 Million Paintings project (which was exhibited on the sails of the Sydney Opera House a few years back) to the work of the Velvet Underground and Abba to the musical contributions of people who generate and innovate the technology that is used to create modern pop music.

The 80 minute talk was part of the Academy that is taking place in New York City at present. More details are available here.
