Smart People Talking about Music and Technology

This video, produced as a joke to help publicize Brian Eno's newest release, is actually indicative of many musician's feelings about academic engagement in the field of current music and audio production. Why is there the need to flood the person "doing it" with information about why and how they are producing what they produce?

Taking a swipe at the semiotic overload of popular cultural studies might seem like easy targeting, but kudos to Eno for being willing to make fun of a system and process that he himself often embraces.
