Muse Announce New Album, Share Science Fiction-Themed Video for New Song “The Dark Side”

British trio Muse have announced a new album, Simulation Theory, and has shared another song from it, the Muse-meets-Daft-Punk-sounding “The Dark Side,” via a 1980s-styled video for the song directed by Lance Drake. Simulation Theory is due out November 9 via Warner Bros. Below is “The Dark Side” video, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art.


Muse worked with several producers on the album, including Rich Costey, Mike Elizondo, Shellback and Timbaland. The album will be released in three formats: Standard (11 tracks), Deluxe (16 tracks), and Super Deluxe (21 tracks). Kyle Lambert did the cover artwork for the Standard and Deluxe editions and he has previously done the poster art for Stranger Things, Jurassic Park, and other films. Paul Shipper illustrated the Super Deluxe cover and his previous work includes posters for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Avengers: Affinity War, and others. 


Last year Muse shared a video for another new song, “Dig Down,” which was also directed by Lance Drake and also had a retro sci-fi vibe, with frontman Matt Bellamy looking a bit like 1980s computer generated cult character Max Headroom. Then in February they shared another Lance Drake-directed video for the new song “Thought Contagion,” which ended with a “Thriller”-like dance routine featuring various monsters. Then in July they shared another new song, “Something Human,” also via a 1980s themed Lance Drake-directed video. All three songs are also featured on the album.

Apple and Amazon Don"t Need to Buy Hollywood

New Post At https://sciencefiction.site/apple-and-amazon-dont-need-to-buy-hollywood/ - This week’s AT&T-Time Warner  court ruling  was the starter pistol for the sale of  anything and everything  in the entertainment industry. There are two questions relevant to the technology industry: Will Silicon Valley do the buying? And should it? I can’t answer the first question because acquisitions are unpredictable. (See Amazon plus a supermarket chain .) On the second query: Debatable, but probably not. A continuing  deal frenzy by media, entertainment and telecom companies is a reaction to Netflix Inc., YouTube, Facebook Inc. and other online hangouts absorbing more of people’s time and money. Tech companies should stand on the sidelines of this desperate reshuffling that they caused.  Wasting Time Television remains Americans’ favorite leisure activity, but smartphones have started to consume more of people’s time.

Books: Theodore Sturgeon"s overlooked centenary plus reviews and book news

New Post At https://sciencefiction.site/books-theodore-sturgeons-overlooked-centenary-plus-reviews-and-book-news/ - This year is Theodore Sturgeon’s centenary, and if you’re wondering “who?,” you’re not alone. Once widely read (and still beloved in some science fiction communities, as a few on Twitter pointed out to me) Sturgeon no longer has the name recognition of contemporaries Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov . Like Harlan Ellison , he wrote for the original “Star Trek” — we have him to thank for Spock saying “live long and prosper” — but it’s his fiction, particularly his short stories, that should put him in the pantheon , writes Scott Bradfield, who was once Sturgeon’s neighbor in Silver Lake.

New Post At https://sciencefiction.site/superman-to-the-fonz-vintage-lunchbox-collection-on-sale/ - By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI — Look, up on the shelf! It’s Superman. There’s the king of the wild frontier himself, Davy Crockett. And over in that case is Davy Crockett again, except this time he’s Daniel Boone. And aaaaay! It’s The Fonz and the whole “Happy Days” family! A veteran auctioneer has on display a baby boomer delight: hundreds of vintage lunchboxes featuring the heroes of their childhood comic books, TV shows, cartoon strips, movies and more. “I’ve never had anything like this,” said J. Louis Karp, whose family-run business has been part of Cincinnati since the first years after the Civil War. “This is quite different.” Sure, you can go to any number of websites to buy old metal lunchboxes from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. But to see 250 of them in the same place, to be able to pick them up, and then spot one just like mom packed for you with a peanut butter-and-j
