Saville Signing at Spoonbill Saturday

I popped by Spoonbill on Bedford Ave earlier this week and noticed that Peter Saville will be signing stuff there this Saturday 1p-3p.
° A Certain Ratio - Knife Slits Water mp3
° Brian Eno + David Byrne - The Jezebel Spirit mp3
° Santogold - Starstruck mp3
Here's an interesting snip about the "undesigned" from an interview with Saville in Digital Arts Magazine:
Are there any trends in current design that you particularly appreciate or dislike?
There’s a trend at the moment towards the undesigned. There’s a lot in there that just gets directly to the point; it understands the truth in something. There are certain works at the moment that are just what they need to be – it’s like walking into Muji for the first time again. The worst thing, though, is ironic un-design that has then become a sort of design, and then become a mess. When it’s still radical – a spread or an ad in a magazine – it’s effective. Once 99 per cent of the publication has adopted a don’t-care poise, it’s a mess and has become that which it sets out to mock.
