While researching ideas for a new album, Tim asked renowned Shakespearean thespians Sir Ian McKellan, Sir Derek Jacobi, Pete Postletwaite, Richard Briers, Janet Suzman and Emma Thompson to identify a single theme from Shakespeare’s works. From the numerous responses he found the inspiration for his new album Sonnet 155. To quote Tim, Sonnet 155 is not about Shakespeare it’s a response provoked by Shakespeare.Sonnet 155 is also a response provoked by stage and theatre, for it was recently performed twice at the Almeida Theatre in Islington to celebrate the release of the album with the tagline One rock band. One string quartet. Two opera singers. Three actors.’The performance on May 9th featured Tom Arnold and his band as well as the aforementioned string quartet, opera singers Hannah Pedley and Jai Ramage and as for the actors, the Almeida was proud to welcome Richard Briers The Good Life, Paul McGann Withnail & I and Lisa Dillon Bright Young Things, Cranford.It was a highly unusual experience, with the venue providing a cosy and intimate setting for a provocative re-imagining of Shakespeare’s themes through rock music and spoken word If all this sounds rather serious and deeply intellectually boring, well, it was not! Au contraire, it was an entertaining and stimulating production that had words interwoven with the songs, sometimes spoken over music, sometimes over silence and sometimes with the lyrics.

As I said before, when it is good it really is very good another cliche but when it is bland it is just ordinary. They have been brave and this really is a strong move on from In Silico’ – development is a good thing.This album has been on the edge of my consciousness for a couple of weeks as I tried to make up my mind just what the hell is so good about Langhorne Slim.His songs are coming from the Americana side of SingerSongwriter and he has a voice that really isn’t great – slight and highish pitch – and he has a tendency to a rather whiney sound but the overall effect, especially when his band kick in and push the Anthemic’ button or he slows it all down and you find yourself nodding along with his pace is just bloody wonderful.

The look is a bit more industrial, though that was hardly a surprise to attendees. Gizmodo is still sitting on a very hot seat for leaking the device, though plenty of details remained a mystery ahead of the presentation.

That included games from Guitar Hero and FarmVille, as well as a movie rental play from Netflix already available on the iPad. Overall, Apple has now sold over 5 billion apps, and paid developers $1 billion in the process, according to Jobs.And, up ahead, users will be treated to the now-named iOS 4, an update that enables multi-tasking, folders, and access to the iBooks app and iAd mobile advertising network The new iPhone hits June 24th, and will cost $199 for the 16GB version, and $299 for the 32GB version.
