Not A Review Of The New Brian Eno Book On Art

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/06/04

This podcast has always been about trying to understand what art means. Yesterday, I listened to a New Yorker podcast where David Remnick interviewed Brian Eno on his new book on art called What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory. I ordered the book immediately, but it did not arrive in time for the podcast, so today's show is about what I want the book to be about. I've never really thought about what art does until yesterday, but Eno seems wise to me about art things because he has lived them

Why Pop Music Is Worse Than Ever

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/05/28

Today's pop music is very strange compared to the pop music of the past - it seems familiar, yet it's not. It sounds like a song you might have heard before, but it isn't. Today's pop music is less shaped by creativity and more designed by licensing considerations, technology, and media monopolies. I explained what happened to pop music in this episode of the show and how we can fix it. But will we?TRIBE - The World's Luxury Cannabis Jewelerhttps://tribe.caSend an email to

2025/05/14

How are big jewelers like Pandora coping with tariffs? Carefully. I explore their strategy of separating their US, Canadian and Mexican sales into separate and defined tariff channels. Will it work? Lastly, many Canadian retailers along the border here are worried Americans won't come to Canada to spend their money this summer. I explain why we shouldn't worry about this at all because they'll have to come to Canada to shop as their shelves go bare. TRIBE - The World's Luxury
