Over the weekend a lot of things happened in the world of music. Here are some of them.
1. Daft Punk who? IDM godfather Aphex Twin seemingly began the rollout for his first album in over a decade on Saturday by floating a blimp over London emblazoned with his unmistakable logo. Reports of sightings outside Radio City Music Hall came in shortly thereafter. I’d try to explain how exciting this news is, but I’m hopeful you already know. Via Pitchfork.
