But Frownland doesn't want to be successful and famous: they'd kick him out of the Pretentious Bastards' Society for that! :yikes:

You. I like you.

Kraftwerk / 3-D: The Catalogue box sets

Box set of some of the 2012 - 2016 concerts.
Different from the other live box set that came
looking like a laptop. Better/different technology.

Black Swan just announced a new album with a teaser video post on FB. Nothing on YT or the official swanplague website yet.

Here's the post.

Billy Woods - Known Unknowns (June 8)

Another album with Blockhead. Not the biggest fan of the single they dropped, but I remember Warmachines being the single off of Today, I Wrote Nothing, and that's one of the weakest tracks on that album. Looks like it's an expansive project with 18 tracks as well, so I'll reserve judgement until it comes out.
