Wake up, wake up...

Well, woke up this morning after not enough hours of sleep to three big news items:

1. England are still in the World Cup (amazingly) and will face Germany in next match.. (should be a laugh)

2. John Foxx has put up T shirts and limited edition prints and wotnot up for sale on the Townsend site. Call me old fashioned but £20 still sems like a lot of money to me for a T-shirt. I might go for the limited edition 'art prints' (postcards) and Cathedral Oceans book though. Anyway if you're interested roll up roll up and click for details / orders.

3. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark have released details of the new album History of Modern to be released on 20th September 2010. There is also a Sounds-of -the-Universe style box set with T shirt, book, vinyl, DVD, Peter Saville stuff, etc etc. Fifty quid. Let's hope the music's good too.
The official website has also undergone a welcome facelift with HoM graphics (sort of a mixture of debut album and Dazzle Ships) and a Facebook/Twitter friendly design. McCluskey and Humphreys have both contributed to the blog.
Throroughly Modern.
