What presence?!

Yesterday Ian and I watched Orange Juice on The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Small Craft on a Milk Sea

In addition to the recently-announced Orange Juice box set, we have more cool news today. Warp Records just announced news about the new Brian Eno record. Although I probably won’t be able to afford any of these fancy formats, I’m excited to hear that Eno’s working with guys like Jon Hopkins. (They worked together on the last Coldplay record.)

This will be a great autumn.
