Skirting close to Hornsby territory.

First some news. The new New Order album is set to drop on March 28th in the UK, and in the states TBA on Reprise. I've heard them on the shortlist for Coachella, which would also make sense. Interestingly, the new record, Sing for the Sirens, was co-produced by John Leckie, the guy who did Radiohead's The Bends.

Also, from No Rock and Roll Fun, news that Mclusky have broken up. Fuck. Also, the Unicorns have called it quits "for the forseeable future". Oddly enough, I'm much more upset by the Mclusky news than the Unicorns. I really wanted to see them live.

Now, a dose of Hornsbyism:

I was wondering whether Giraffes? Giraffes! by Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey would count, but I decided it didn't. Good book, though. Much reading and listening still to do, mostly with Mclusky Do Dallas in the background, if such is possible.
