Brain Eno To Release New Solo Album In Late 2010
Roxy Music member Brian Eno is set to release a solo album later this year on Warp Records. No official date or album title have been released, but the project features "the fruits of several years of jams" between Eno, guitarist Leo Abraham, and electro-producer Jon Hopkins. Eno has described the music as "'live' and 'alien' at the same time." What exactly that means I am not sure, but I am sure the project will have a captivating sound like much of Eno's past work. more infoNew Kings of Leon Album Expected October 19

The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
