Remember Orange Juice ? They have a boxset coming out November 22nd called Coals To Newcastle, and Domino Records is giving "Felicity" as a complimentary download. They also noted that it's Morrissey's all time favorite Orange Juice song.

Sally and I recorded a new podcast, which I will be editing over this week, so it should show up on Saturday. One of the item we talked about is Edwyn Collin's new album (his seventh!) called Losing Sleep, out in the US on March 22nd on Heavenly Recordings/Cooperative Music USA/Downtown Records.
Reading the announcement, it seems that he's collaborating with heaps of great musicians, such as Franz Ferdinand, The Drums and Johnny Marr. Already out in the UK, the album's getting a lot of love, particularly from Mojo (calling it "sheer brilliance") and Q Magazine (calling it "a triumph"). Can't wait to hear it myself, even though I did confess I only know Edwyn Collins from his work in Orange Juice and, of course, that song, "A Girl Like You".
Full Losing Sleep track listing:
To get a taste of the album, Edwyn Collins has released a video for "Do It Again", with Alex Kapranos & Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand, in glorious HD:
I would hazard a guess that Collins will be doing a US tour to promote his new album, so be on the lookout for his tour dates here.
