New Beirut material, for the first time in ages. Team Drowned in Sound went to Future Everything and here's what we thought. Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News, Exclusive, Q + A Saddle Creek _Liz Powell is more than just the creative genius behind Montreal rockers Land of Talk. The vocalist-guitarist seems to have become the glue that keeps the Canadian music scene together. If prompted, Powell can name-drop most of Canada's indie rock elite (Why yes, Arcade Fire stopped by to play on Land Of Talk's latest album, 'Cloak and Cipher'; Sure, she'll fill in as a singer for Broken Social Scene the next time they need her; And yes, she just took up singing with Polaris Prize winners Karkwa and will likely see them at a BBQ or two this summer). A workaholic, Powell learned the hard way from her vocal chord ailment in 2009 she needs to slow down once and a while. On the phone via Montreal before Land of Talk's June 17 NXNE performance at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square, Powell tells Spinner she's going through a transition. This period is for rest, gaining perspective and finally, perhaps, embracing adulthood. _ ** It's been a few months since you finished touring last summer's critically acclaimed 'Cloak and Cipher.' Now what?** I'm actually on a hiatus. I'm ... L.A.

"If he can pull this off," Harrington said of Tollett, "it's the greatest idea ever." > > Tom Windish, whose Chicago-based Windish Agency placed more than 30 acts at Coachella in 2011, said the influx of more tickets should weaken the resale value, but conceded it would be a "new challenge" for tour routers. Still, Windish was optimistic it would create more opportunities, as well as increasing an act's payday. > > "It will mean the artist can walk out with more money from the L.A. market than they had previously … Potentially, now they can double that money. I don't know if they'll be offering twice as much money for two shows, but hopefully they will do that." > > Destination festivals like Coachella and Chicago's Lollapalooza lock artists into exclusivity clauses that place limitations on where an artist can tour in the weeks surrounding the event.

We already posted the Freedia pics. Here are the Javelin ones. They continue... We're all living longer, but we're forgetting how to enjoy old age. Get off that jet ski, sit back and have a biscuit The news last week that nearly a fifth of us are likely to live to see our 100th birthday has reduced Shakespeare's famous calculation that there are seven ages of Man to the same status as the four elements or the nine circles of hell. When Shakespeare was describing the life stages of babes, schoolboys, soldiers and senility, he would have imagined a lifespan of a maximum of 70 years. He could have had no concept of the teenager, the kidult, the dadster – or the silver surfer, sailing around the world on a bubble of property prices and pensions for life. For as life expectancy extends so do each of the stages of our lives. This prolongation and multiplication of our life phases is not purely about increasing longevity – for instance, there are the children who are infantilised by staying at home until 35 or longer because of high property prices – but the rise and rise in the number of the seriously elderly is by far the most important factor. The ... Capcom has come under fire for its App Store title MaXplosion, with indie studio Twisted Pixel blasting the Japanese publisher for what it has called "complete theft" of successful XBLA title 'Splosion Man. 'Splosion Man hit XBLA in July 2009 to critical acclaim and proceeded to sell well, becoming part of the US Summer of Arcade deal and hitting the top of the XBLA chart in December last year after a massive price cut. Capcom's MaXplosion is now live on the App Store for 59p, and shows an uncanny resemblance to the gameplay concepts behind Twisted Pixel's title. Read more... We're huge fans of Black Cab Sessions – the unique lo-fi recording sessions that are gaining a huge following online.
