By Gareth Harris. News, Issue 257, May 2014Published online: 28 April 2014
A series of site-specific works by American artists is expected to be created for the new US Embassy in London when it moves south from Mayfair to Nine Elms in 2017.
"I'm hopeful that there will be works commissioned by Fape [the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies]," says the leading US curator and academic Robert Storr. He selects and commissions works for the private, non-profit organisation, which gives works by American artists to US embassies around the world (left, Tina Barney's Color Guard, 2007). The foundation provides a prime platform for artists. It was established in 1986 by a group of philanthropists and collectors including the late Leonore Annenberg. "There is no commercial agenda whatsoever," says Storr, the dean of the Yale University School of Art. Sponsors include Bank of America and Christie's. "The works are all donated, and Fape funds their fabrication and installation," says Jennifer Duncan, the foundation's director. Previous site-specific commissions have been awarded to artists including Lynda Benglis, whose abstract bronze sculpture Paschim, 2010, is on permanent display in the US Embassy in Mumbai; Ellsworth Kelly, who installed a 40ft stainless-steel sculpture, Berlin Totem, in the courtyard of the US Embassy in the German capital in 2008; and Maya Lin, who created two sundials for the US Consulate in Istanbul in 2003. An exhibition of the foundation's collection is due to open at the Museum at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, this summer (21 June-27 July). The US Embassy in London declined to comment.

It's a wild new fad that feeds off the dissociation found in modern
life. While millions of people listen to music on headphones while they
shop at the market, do housework and other mundane tasks, there are a
crop of new nightclubs, called "silent discos," where all the dancers
listen to music on wireless headphones. The experience to the newcomer
is disorienting. Walking into these clubs, you will see people dancing
in total silence. It's a trend that catching on.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The new dance party phenomenon, which started in Europe uses specially designed wireless headphones, rather than a traditional speaker system sends people boogying on to the dance floor. Silent discos are now taking America by storm.
"People would think its anti-social, but it ends up being the exact opposite," Ryan Dowd, owner of Silent Events, Inc., who caters Silent Disco events around the country says. "If you meet someone or give them the eye on the dance floor, there's no way to talk in a loud, crowded club without going outside, but this way you can literally take off the headphones in the center of the dance floor and talk in an inside voice steps from the DJ."
College campuses are now hosting Silent Disco parties for their students as well as music festivals, fairs, weekly silent nights at your favorite club, rooftop parties.
Originally created to deal with noise ordinances, silent discos help build camaraderie among those in the know. Everyone feels like they're in on a secret since they're all wearing the headphones. Spectators nab a voyeuristic pleasure from watching the group dance in what appears to be silence.
"I think it's become a phenomenon because there are so many ways to enjoy it," says Dowd. "If you don't like loud music, you can dial down the volume. If you don't like a certain type of music, you can change the channel. If you don't dance, you can people watch."
Many silent discos feature several DJs or two or three types of music like rock, rap or electronica. Silent Events even created a bilingual option for a silent dance party.
Dowd measures the success of the events when the headphones run out at the door.

Some Node.js Magic in GitHub's Atom Editor is the Ability to Run Multiple Instances in a Single Process
An oft-requested feature is the ability to embed Node.js in other applications, particularly in ways that let it integrate with other event loops and ("while you're at it") with support for multiple Node execution contexts. GitHub came to us who needed this kind of functionality for Atom.io. It's a pretty tall order because Node started out as – and still is – a single-threaded application, built around the concept of a single event loop, with hundreds of global variables that store various bits of state.

Early life[edit]
Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson was born on November 19, 1989, in the Los Angeles area, and is of Vietnamese ( his mother is half Vietnamese) and Jamaican descent.[2] He grew up in Compton listening to Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Cam'ron and Eminem among others.[3] He started rapping when Travie McCoy found him in a trainer store and Tyga offered his mixtape.
On December 3, 2012, debate arose concerning Tyga's upbringing. Tyga claimed to have been brought up in a low socioeconomic area of Compton, which contradicts his claims in 2008 on the television show Bustas. On this show he claimed he grew up in a 'well-to-do' house in the Valley (California), where his parents drove a Range Rover and CL600 Mercedes Benz. He also claimed that he attained his nickname from his mother calling him 'Tiger Woods'.[4][5] There has been speculation that his claims on the show were satirical and not to be taken seriously, and the veracity of his statements has been a subject of heated debate. Tyga responded to the leak of the video by Twitter: "When u 14 an ambitious u don't give a fuk about anything. Scripted tv isn't that what we all live for.Hahahaha" [sic][6]
2008–10: No Introduction and mixtapes[edit]
No Introduction was the first independent album by Tyga. It was released on June 10, 2008, on Decaydance Records.[7] One of the songs from this album, "Diamond Life", was used in the video games Need for Speed: Undercover, and on Madden NFL 2009, as well as in the 2009 movie Fighting.
Tyga released many mixtapes. His 2007 debut mixtape, Young On Probation, garnered him enough attention to sign a record deal with Young Money Entertainment. He created Fan of a Fan with Chris Brown and producers DJ Ill Will and DJ Rockstar. It features other artists such as Bow Wow, Lil Wayne, and Kevin McCall featured in several tracks. Four tracks ("Holla at Me", "G Shit", "No Bullshit" and "Deuces") are also accompanied by a music video. The track "Deuces" was released as the debut single of the mixtape and, as of August 26, 2010, has reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The track has also been nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 53rd Grammy Awards.[8][9] The track, among others, was on the tracklist of Chris Brown's fourth studio album, F.A.M.E.. Tyga also told MTV in an interview that the production of the mixtape took just short of a week.[10]
2011–12: Careless World: Rise of the Last King[edit]
Careless World: Rise of the Last King was his second studio album. The album was released on February 21, 2012 on Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Universal Republic Records. Careless World: Rise of the Last King is a move to the rapping style he featured in the collaboration album We Are Young Money rather me than the poppy dance element shown on No Introduction.[11] Tyga stated that the album shows he has grown up but still relates to the kids. Tyga released a new mixtape #BitchImTheShit in preparation for the album.
The first official single, "Far Away", was released on May 17, 2011 and peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second official single, "Still Got It", was released on October 4, 2011. It peaked at 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. The third official single, "Rack City", was released on December 6, 2011. It was originally listed on Tyga's Well Done 2 mixtape, and was added to the album after it gained commercial success. It debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has peaked at number 8 since then. The fourth official single, "Faded", was released on January 13, 2012. It peaked on the Hot 100 at #33.
Tyga's sixth single, "Do My Dance" which features 2 Chainz was released on October 2, 2012 and peaked at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100. He has released various mixtapes such as well-acclaimed #BitchImTheShit and Well Done 3.
The same year Tyga also produced and co-directed (with Justice Young) a multi-AVN award-nominated crossover adult film, Rack City: The XXX Movie, which starred Skin Diamond, Jada Fire, Ice La Fox, Sophie Dee, Lexington Steele, Havana Ginger, Kristina Rose, London Keyes, Daisy Marie, Stacie Lane and Austin Taylor;[12][13] he also signed the soundtrack, that include the hits "Rack City" and "Faded" together with several original songs, and he appeared in the film, in a non-sex role.[12][14][15][16][17][18][19]
2012–2013: Hotel California[edit]
Tyga's third studio album is titled Hotel California was released on April 9, 2013. The first single was released on December 25, and is titled, "Dope".

Hotel California was released on April 9, 2013. The album featured guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Game, Wiz Khalifa, Future and Jadakiss. Along with production by Cool & Dre, David D.A. Doman, DJ Mustard, Detail, Mars of 1500 or Nothin', The Olympicks, and SAP among others. The album was supported by three official singles — "Dope" which features Rick Ross, "For the Road" featuring Chris Brown, and "Show You" featuring Future, along with the promotional single "Molly". The album was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics.[25] It also was less successful then his debut album commercially, debuting at number seven on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 54,000 copies in the United States.[26]
2013–present: The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty[edit]
On August 27, 2013, Tyga released a new single with DJ Mustard titled "Throw It Up". It was also revealed he was working on two new mixtapes Black Thought 3, Well Done 4, as well as The Gold Album.[27] On October 21, 2013, Tyga premiered "Wait for a Minute" featuring Justin Bieber, the first single from his fourth studio album The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty. It would then be released to iTunes the following day.[28] He then confirmed that the album would be released in early 2014. He also explained that the album would, be more "way less commercial." He also said "I felt like Hotel California was more commercial and I made more radio-type records. This album is straight rap."[29] Then on April 9, 2014 Tyga released a song called "Hookah" which features the rapper Young Thug which will be the second single from his fourth studio album The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty.[30]

In late 2012, Tyga was sued by two video vixens who appeared in the video for "Make It Nasty" for 10 million dollars each, due to Tyga allegedly showing their nipples without their consent. They were assured that they would be edited out, and the unedited version of the video would not be released, however Tyga released a fully unedited version of the video.[46] On September 21, 2013, Tyga was sued by another woman from the video shoot for sexual battery as well as fraud, invasion of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress. She alleged that she was groped by a man in a rabbit suit and another man grabbed her breasts. She also claims, like the two other women who have filed suit against him, that she was convinced to dance topless and assured her breasts would be edited out.[47]
On September 4, 2013, it was reported Tyga had been sued by Beverly Hills-based jeweler Jason, for allegedly not paying for roughly $91,000 worth of jewelry. Jason claims that Tyga agreed to pay $28,275 for the jeweler's diamond pantheon watch in August 2012, and that he borrowed a $63,000 diamond Cuban link chain in December 2012 and never returned the item. So he sued Tyga for the cost of both pieces, plus late fees, which totaled up to $185,306.50 in damages, double the original total cost.[48]
- Young Money Entertainment
On October 21, 2014, Tyga lashed out on his current label "Young Money Entertainment", reporting that his music is being held hostage and threatens them to leak the album.[49]
- Drake and Nicki Minaj
Tyga disses on Drake and Nicki Minaj on a recent interview, calling them both fake, saying:
"I tend to distance myself from them. I'm tryna go independent. I don't really get along with Drake. I don't really get along with Nicki," Tyga told Vibe in a story that published last week. "I don't like Drake as a person. He's just fake to me. I think his music is good, but we're all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda' like we were forcing relationships together."[50]

Red Families V. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Red Families v. Blue Families identifies a new family model geared for the post-industrial economy. Rooted in the urban middle class, the coasts and the "blue states" in the last three presidential elections, the Blue Family Paradigm emphasizes the importance of women's as well as men's workforce participation, egalitarian gender roles, and the delay of family formation until both parents are emotionally and financially ready. By contrast, the Red Family Paradigm--associated with the Bible Belt, the mountain west, and rural America--rejects these new family norms, viewing the change in moral and sexual values as a crisis. In this world, the prospect of teen childbirth is the necessary deterrent to premarital sex, marriage is a sacred undertaking between a man and a woman, and divorce is society's greatest moral challenge. Yet, the changing economy is rapidly eliminating the stable, blue collar jobs that have historically supported young families, and early marriage and childbearing derail the education needed to prosper. The result is that the areas of the country most committed to traditional values have the highest divorce and teen pregnancy rates, fueling greater calls to reinstill traditional values.
Featuring the groundbreaking research first hailed in The New Yorker, this penetrating book will transform our understanding of contemporary American culture and law. The authors show how the Red-Blue divide goes much deeper than this value system conflict--the Red States have increasingly said "no" to Blue State legal norms, and, as a result, family law has been rent in two. The authors close with a consideration of where these different family systems still overlap, and suggest solutions that permit rebuilding support for both types of families in changing economic circumstances.
Incorporating results from the 2008 election, Red Families v. Blue Families will reshape the debate surrounding the culture wars and the emergence of red and blue America.

How to End Your Summer in Style
From what to drink to what to wear, a man's guide to the Labor Day weekend
Europe's Secret Weapon Against The Sun
Ever wonder why European guys look so perfectly bronzed in the summer, like they just spent a week basting on some giant rotisserie? It ain't the Capri sunit's their sun cream. Or at least that's what we'd like to think. For decades, you could find Piz Buin (pronounced bween) only at posh Euro beaches and in countries the size of Rhode Island. But it's now available in the States, thanks to some crafty pharmacies and boutiques who've found a way to import it. Invented in Switzerland some seventy years ago, Piz Buin introduced SPF to the world. The company now offers several levels to choose from, each in simple, sleek packaging. And unlike some sunscreens, it smells like neither banana nor coconut, and it doesn't leave your face a greasy mess. So upgrade your lotion, just like you did your swimsuit. After all, the suit makes the man, but the man with the tan makes the suit look even better.Jim Moore

Barry Bonds inducted into Steroid Hall of Fame
SAN FRANCISCO - After surpassing Henry Aaron's 33 year-old home-run record and taking his place as baseball's career home-run leader, Barry Bonds appeared at the Steroid Hall of Fame in San Francisco to be inducted. The Steroid Hall of Fame is built as an extension to the BALCO Steroid Factory, America's largest steroid producer founded by Victor Conte. Visitors of the Steroid Hall of Fame are greeted with by a billboard sized placard that reads, "Better Sports Through Chemistry".
The large audience on hand for the Barry Bond induction included many former inductees such as Olympic Sprinter Ben Johnson, NFL great Bill Romanowski, and all members of the 1976 East German women's swim team. After accepting the award, an emotional Bonds said, "First and foremost I want to thank my best friend Tetrahydrogestrinone. Without Tetrahydrogestrinone I certainly wouldn't be here today. I would also like to thank some of the brave performance-enhancing substance abuse pioneers including Mark McGwire and Jason Giambi. And special thanks to Jose Canseco - Thanks Jose for having the courage to jam that needle in my butt when I still wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do."

Florida Highway Patrol troopers investigated a fatal accident involving a motorcycle Saturday afternoon.
Troopers said 26-year-old Victor Richardson was driving his motorcycle west on Woodduck Drive when he failed to stop at an intersection.
Richardson continued toward a house on Hummingbird Lane, where he failed to stop, according to FHP.
Richardson went into the yard, hit a bush, then a wall and was thrown against the front window of the house, troopers said.
Troopers said Richardson was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center as a trauma alert, but he later died.

Michael Bastian Stripe Shirt
Whenever I think of clothes with a lot of spirit I think of Michael Bastian, and this is a case in point, where he's taken a simple Bengal stripe shirt and amped it up in this tomato orange color that matches wonderfully to grays, navies, and earth tones. Bastian's button-down collars tend to be a bit higher and longer, so they sit well under a cardigan, tweed jacket, or your dressiest suit, with a tie or without. It's a shirt that's anchored in classic menswear, but has a bit of continental flair.

The spectacular sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes!
Set 10 years after the events depicted in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this spectacular sequel showcases the escalating conflict between a group of human survivors and the nation of genetically enhanced apes led by Caesar (Andy Serkis). A fragile peace is reached but war is about to brake lose. And there can be only one dominant species on the planet.
Rupert Wyatt (The Gambler), the director of the critically acclaimed predecessor, passed on the chance to helm Dawn of the Planet of the Apes due to a scheduling conflict. A suitable replacement was found swiftly in the person of Matt Reeves. The filmmaker has ample experience staging science fiction spectacle on a massive scale, having directed found footage epic Cloverfield.

For her debut feature film, writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour decided to make a black-and-white, Iran-set, Farsi language vampire-western about a female, skateboarding neck-biter called A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. So, let's get the most obvious question out of the way first: Why? According to Amirpour, she came up with the idea for the movie (which opens in L.A. and New York tomorrow) when she was making a short film and saw someone walking by with a chador, the open cloak worn by many Iranian women.

Nick Damici talks about werewolf movie 'Late Phases' and 'Hap and Leonard'
How did actor Nick Damici prepare to play a blind army vet in the new werewolf movie Late Phases? Painfully, it seems.
'They walk. They talk. They kill.' Director Stuart Gordon talks 'Dolls'
Stuart Gordon shot his first film, 1985's much beloved gorefest Re-Animator, in Los Angeles but then decamped to Italy to shoot Dolls, his second movie and second terror tale. While there, Gordon was also taken down a peg, or 12, by a local craftsman. "They didn't shoot sound in Italy, they weren't used to that," says Gordon, whose other directing credits include From Beyond, Castle Freak, and 2005's William H. Macy-starring Edmond. "I remember there was one day when I was shooting something and there was a carpenter hammering in the background, working on another one of our sets—hammering and sawing. I said, 'Please stop that.' And he said, 'Senor Fellini always lets me work when they're shooting.' I said, 'Well, I'm not Fellini.' And he said, 'That's for sure!"
'Refuge' director talks about his pandemic apocalypse movie
In the new independent horror movie Refuge, Carter Roy, Amy Rutberg, and young actress Eva Grace Kellner play a family trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where the population has been almost entirely wiped out by disease. Given recent, panic-causing news events, the film could hardly be more topical. So what is it like to have made a movie about a global pandemic just as people are reaching for their face masks? "It's incredibly coincidental that it's peaking right now," says Refuge director Andrew Robertson, whose film recently played the Toronto After Dark and L.A.-based Screamfest genre festivals. "It's certainly not something that we would want to exploit. The particular nature of this extinction event just happens to be a plague. But there are so many other things that we have anxiety about: nuclear war, or asteroids hitting the earth, or climate change." And a "Happy Halloween!" to you too, sir!
Hollywood ambition turns diabolical in trailer for new horror film 'Starry Eyes'
How far would you go to become famous? Hopefully not as far as the actress played by Alexandra Essoe in the festival-favorite horror film Starry Eyes, which hits both VOD and select cinemas on Nov. 14.
'The Babadook' director talks old-school horror
Horror directors these days seem to almost automatically genuflect before the altars of such '70s and '80s filmmakers as John Carpenter and Dario Argento. But writer-director Jennifer Kent sought inspiration from much older auteurs while crafting her debut film, the much-acclaimed, Sundance-screened, The Babadook. "I've watched everything, from Mario Bava to Dario Argento—all of those '70s guys, including John Carpenter, who I love," she says. "But I feel very drawn also to the early stuff. There were directors in the '20s and '30s—Carl Dreyer, Fritz Lang—who were making films that were art and they just happened to be terrifying. I think somewhere along the way we denigrated the art form and horror really has become a dirty word. I think that's a shame, because it's really cinematic."
'ABCs of Death 2' animated opening is absolutely killer
Horror anthology sequel ABCs of Death 2 delivers a second slate of 26 fatality-featuring short films overseen by an array of directors, which, this time around, includes Evan Katz (Cheap Thrills), Larry Fessenden (Beneath), Rodney Ascher (Room 237), Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary, See No Evil 2), Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice), and Julian Barratt, from cult British comedy duo The Mighty Boosh. But one of the film's highlights comes very early with its opening credit sequence, an animated riff on the children's books which inspired the franchise in the first place.
EW's Horror Quintessentials: The 5 best werewolf movies
With Halloween fast approaching, EW is picking the five best films in a variety of different horror movie categories. For the past week and a half, we've been posting our top picks from several specific groups—demons, ghosts, slasher movies, and so on—and giving you the chance to vote on which film from each category is your favorite. On Oct. 31, EW will reveal your top choices.
We already covered vampires earlier today—but now it's time to tackle their furry, sharp-toothed nemeses.
We've never really had a Werewolf Moment. Vampires have been popular figures onscreen since the silent film era. Zombies experienced a post-millenium burst of popularity that has never really died down. In that company, the history of werewolf movies can look a bit shrimpy. READ FULL STORY
Check out a monstrous bonus feature from the 'Nightbreed: Director's Cut' Blu-ray
More than a quarter of a century ago, author and Hellraiser director Clive Barker set out to create what he intended to be "Star Wars for monsters," a film called Nightbreed in which a group of freakish-looking creatures would be the heroes and mankind itself the villains. But the Nightbreed thathit theaters in 1990 was both a box-office flop and far removed from Barker's vision following edits mandated by Morgan Creek Twenty-five years later, horror imprint Scream Factory is releasing this week a long-awaited "Director's Cut" of the film on Blu-ray—with the approval of Barker and the support of Morgan Creek—that utilizes long-lost film elements recently discovered in a midwest storage facility.
In addition to the longer cut of the film, the Blu-ray also boasts a number of bonus features, including a documentary called Tribes of the Moon: The Making of Nightbreed. You can see a clip from that film below—and you can read more about the story of Nightbreed in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly. READ FULL STORY
Things get hairy in trailer for new werewolf movie 'Late Phases'

Error analysis and remedial teaching will improve student performance in public exams: RMSA director
Teachers should carry out an assessment of the achievement level of students in quarterly and half-yearly exams conducted in schools and then carry out an error analysis to correct the mistakes to improve their performance in public exams, said A. Sankar, Project Director, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) (National Secondary Education Scheme), Tamil Nadu.
Participating in a refresher programme for high/higher secondary school teachers organised by the Education Department in association with VIT University on the VIT campus here on Wednesday, he appealed to the headmasters and teachers to strive and improve school average marks and subject average marks of students.
"Improvement of subject average, error analysis, remedial teaching, peer group learning, sharing of experiences of successful students and group monitoring by teachers are among tools which have to be implemented to improve the performance of students in public exams and ensure 100 per cent pass."
Under 'error analysis' and 'remedial teaching,' teachers should identify questions which students have failed to answer, or have answered wrong in quarterly, half-yearly exams, and concentrate on them so that the students learn the correct answers. Mr. Sankar appealed to teachers to devote time for this post-examination exercise which would go a long way in improving the performance of students and help to achieve the overall objective of improving educational ranking of Vellore district in SSLC and Plus-Two public exams.
Mr. Sankar said that bridge courses have been introduced under RMSA for Standard IX students to provide a good foundation to the students so that they could perform better when they sat for SSLC exams. Ratna Natarajan, former director of State Resource Centre for Non-Formal Education, said that school heads have a tendency to concentrate only on bright students. This tendency should go, and they should devote special attention to those who are academically weak. If teachers are able to teach students to control and concentrate their minds, it is possible for them to pass in all subjects.
G. Viswanathan, VIT Chancellor, who presided, said that headmasters should arrange for special classes for weak students to achieve 100% pass. He promised the Education Department that the VIT would provide all help needed to improve the performance of students in SSLC and Plus-Two public exams.
R. Nandhagopal, Collector of Vellore, wanted teachers to tell parents and restrict the watching of TV, chatting over Internet and cell phone which tend to divert the attention of students.

No Age Play New Songs on Daytrotter
By Tom Breihan on February 8, 2010 at 3:20 p.m. EST
Califonia artcore duo No Age are currently hard at work on a new album; guitarist Randy Randall told us all about it a few weeks ago. The duo recently dropped by the Daytrotter studios to record their very own Daytrotter Session, which consists of three new tracks. Stream or download here.
News in Brief: Black Grape, No Age, Excepter, the Soft Province
By Tom Breihan on February 3, 2010 at 6:35 p.m. EST
-- NME reports that Black Grape, the band that Shaun Ryder led after the breakup of the Happy Mondays, are set to reunite. Just like the Happy Mondays did! Shaun Ryder is all about mending fences now. Black Grape will play their first show since 1997 on April 1 at London's Coronet, as part of Get Loaded in the Dark.
-- No Age's blog reports that the band will play a February 7 benefit show at an undisclosed L.A. location for a friend's mother, who is currently battling cancer. Vivian Girls, Abe Vigoda, Best Coast, and others will also play.
-- On February 16, Paw Tracks will release Presidence, a new double CD from experimental New York pranksters Excepter. The band recorded the six-song, two-hour album live in one continuous improvised take.
-- Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner, both co-founders of Montreal psych band the Besnard Lakes, have a side project called the Soft Province which has signed to Three Rings. They'll release their self-titled debut album, which features appearances from other Besnard Lakes members, this summer.
No Age's Randy Randall Talks New Album, Injury, Documentary

In the time since they released Nouns, our #3 album of 2008, the two dudes in the L.A. dreampunk band No Age have been keeping themselves busy: releasing last year's Losing Feeling EP, designing their own skate shoe, making awesome videos, touring constantly. But now they're finally buckling down and working on the follow-up at Infrasonic Sound studios in L.A. They hope to release the new album this summer.
Recently, Pitchfork caught up with guitarist Randy Randall last week to talk about the new album, the documentary he's working on, the band's recent tours, and his unfortunate dance-off injury.
Director's Cut: No Age: "Losing Feeling"
By Ryan Dombal on November 13, 2009 at 3:45 p.m. EST
From Bjรถrk's "Triumph of a Heart" to Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract", great music videos are bursts of sound and vision that leave an indelible impression. Director's Cut is a Pitchfork News feature in which we chat with music video directors about their creations. The men and women behind the camera are often overlooked in today's YouTube era, but this feature aims to highlight their hard work while showcasing the best videos currently linking around the internet. A little behind-the-scenes dirt couldn't hurt, too.
This time, we chatted with filmmaker Gil Kenan, who helmed the playful stop-motion video for the title track from No Age's recent Losing Feeling EP. The no-budget mouse-cam clip is Kenan's first music video-- and quite a break from his recent work directing the 2006 animated feature Monster House and last year's dark fantasy flick City of Ember starring Bill Murray. He might be used to big studios and stars now, but Kenan is an L.A. punk at heart.

Death+Taxes magazine has a new, exclusive No Age song called "In Peril" up for free download, but they're going to make you jump through some hoops to get it.
Here's what you have to do: First, go to this website. (Or, a specific page in the latest issue of the magazine.) Then, take a photo of the picture of No Age that you'll find there. Then text or email it to a specific location; the site has all the details. Once you do all that, you'll get a text or email with a link to "In Peril" almost immediately.

Look at the world from a curious mouse's point of view in this clip from No Age, for the title track off of their latest EP. Definitely make sure to stay tuned through the end of this one, which was directed by feature film helmer Gil Kenan (Monster House, City of Ember). Watch it at Pitchfork.tv or after the jump:
No Age, Jay Reatard to Open for Pixies
By Tom Breihan on October 19, 2009 at 11:25 a.m. EDT
Front page photo by Renaud Monfourny
We wanted it, and we're about to get it: the Pixies' Doolittle tour will hit America in November. And if it wasn't enough to see the alt-rock originators play their 20-year-old classic album in its entirety, the band has now announced the tour's full lineup of opening bands, and it is no joke.
Last week, we told you that Rain Machine, the solo project of TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone, would open some of the U.S. dates. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Depending on what city you're in, you might also see Bad Lieutenant, the new band from former New Order frontman Bernard Sumner. Or No Age. Or Jay Reatard. Or Mew. Or Black Gold.
Photos: No Age, Woods

No Age and Woods played New York's Le Poisson Rogue last night, and our photographer Rez Avissar was on hand to document the proceedings.

No Age Design Sneakers
By Tom Breihan on October 9, 2009 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
The members of No Age walk an interesting line. They're some of the biggest proponents of DIY all-ages spaces out there, but they're also fully willing to play shows with corporate sponsors. They clearly know their Fugazi, but they've adapted the punk rock ethos for an age when even your mom is on Twitter. It's kind of inspiring.
No Age's latest enterprise fully fits in with that dichotomy. That shoe you see pictured above is No Age's very own sneaker. Alongside artist and skateboarding legend Ed Templeton, the L.A. dream-punk duo designed the shoe for Emerica, as Sub Pop's website reports. It's a special edition of Templeton's own Archer sneaker.
And because both members of No Age are vegan (as is Templeton), they've made the shoe completely animal-friendly. According to Empire Ave, "the shoe is made up of entirely organic and synthetic materials, but designed to weather the abuse of skateboarding." Trust No Age to make the whole cliched band-designs-sneaker thing both ethical and badass.
The shoe will be available in skate shops this month in very limited quantities. Here are a couple more photos (via Empire Ave):
Video: No Age Score The Bear
By Tom Breihan on September 1, 2009 at 1:40 p.m. EDT
This past weekend, No Age appeared at the L.A. theater Cinefamily to perform their live score to Jean-Jacques Annaud's awesome-- and nearly dialogue-free-- 1989 animal flick The Bear. This is a movie where the two actors with top billing are actual bears, so you know this was some shit to see. (We chatted with Randy Randall about The Bear back in May.)
Videothing has a video of the event, featuring No Age in action scoring the film, as well as joking about the whole thing. From the looks of things, the ominous drone they whip up for a white-knuckle scene between the titular bear and some hunters seems just about right. Check it out below:
