Announcements

A couple of announcements for your assumed enjoyment. If you're like me, and were drawn to Antony and The Johnsons after they won the 2004 Mercury Music Award with the sublime I am a Bird Now, then you'll be excited to discover that their forthcoming album, The Crying Light, is due to be released in Autumn. Also, Bret Easton Ellis has had an unlikely week in the news. Firstly, it is reported that his sequel to Less Than Zero has actually come to fruition (perhaps three years of silence has reaped a reward) - namely, Imperial Bedrooms. The speculation rages. What's more, a cast member for The Informers film has died. Brad Renfro was 25 when found dead from a drug overdose. Fortunately, however, we're told that filming has concluded...every cloud. Obviously, his death was slightly overshadowed by Heath's, but hey.
