It could be fun to instigate discussion on the relations between Prawg & Punk.
They are oft posited as a polarity - with Rick Wakeman taking a paint roller to his keys as some reason Steve Jones just wanted to bash out three chords for two minutes.
I never felt that - where & when I was.
To me - there was the Mainstream - & there was the Left Hand Path...
Inbetween there are your Cales & Enos ...ArtRawk seems a bridge...

Whatever time zone you're in, you'll be able to watch several different iterations of "Eno" along with "Nothing Can Ever Be the Same", the Venice Biennale Eno prequel piece by Brendan Dawes and Gary Hustwit. Plus conversations with the team behind the film, Eno music DJ sets, special surprise guests, and other material that will only be shown during this 24-hour livestream."
