Brian Eno's Obsolete Strategies

...as opposed to oblique.

• Add a country-rap breakdown.
• What would be the low budget equivalent?
• Remember how much you'll fail if this doesn't get finished.
• Gabbacore is big now. Add some of that.
• This was supposed to be done 10 minutes ago.
• Fill in the rest with outtakes.
• Think about what you ate for breakfast.
• Avoid using vowels.
• Make a puddle, not an ocean. Actually, go ahead and make an ocean. Well, now that I think about it some more, go ahead and make a puddle since you already got started. Or an ocean. Your call. Or maybe a lake.
• Think about the most embarassing moment of your life and how pathetic it was.
• Remember the futility of your existence.
• Add another country-rap breakdown.
• Do whatever comes to mind. Now look at how you've screwed things up.
• You suck.
• Look behind you!
• Depending on random cards for inspiration eh? You must be out of ideas.
