I may have seen it... but wasn't that just a rumour (ie
nothing was confirmed)?

I mean he even got to do that new Silent Hill (I think, but
I'm not sure - some computer game) soundtrack.

Brian Eno and Boards of Canada??

I very much doubt they need other jobs to make money,
especially Brian Eno.

selling music, i thought they sold quite a lot of albums and
will do with their next release, i dont think they have to
worry financially.

plaid don't have other jobs and can sustain themselves
through their music. i believe even during the black dog
days they didn't need jobs as well.

boc have so many tracks on tv......they probably never have
to release anything ever again(just like aphex).......thats
why we have'nt seen the album warp promised us this
year............it seems to me that musicians dont work
anyway, how can you be a genius and work in an office by
day, it would kill you.
