Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys VIP Packages Offered as Prizes to Support Live Nation’s Female Voter Initiative

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Brandi Carlile livestreamed some intimate performances to fans’ computer screens during the heart of the pandemic, but now that everyone is out and about again, she’s taking the livestream experience very big, with plans to simulcast a live concert, “Brandi Carlile: In the Canyon Haze — Live from Laurel Canyon,” to more than 100 IMAX screens on Sept. 28. The IMAX presentation will include a full performance of her “In the Canyon Daze” album, set to come out that same day. The forthcoming release is a full-on remake of her “In These Silent Days” album, which came out last October, this time arranged with more of an acoustic bent and the vintage Laurel Canyon sound in mind.

Andrew Barker Senior Features Writer At this point, complaining about Disney’s deathless drive to cannibalize its entire library of animated classics into live-action remakes can feel as futile as complaining about capitalism itself. The studio has immense IP resources to exploit, a hungry well of content to fill, and a commercial imperative to introduce new generations of kids to the characters they’ll soon be expected to recognize on merch and in theme parks. And in truth, the studio could be doing a lot worse with these trawls through the archives. Once in a while genuine inspiration strikes (as it did with the gothy, revisionist “Maleficent,” or Jon Favreau’s visually inventive “The Jungle Book”), and even the least-fortunate of these remakes have mostly just been forgettable.

Haley Kluge editor SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched the Sept. 6 episode of “The Bachelorette.” The first episode of “The Bachelorette”’s two-night fantasy suite event left Gabby Windey in rough shape.

The Telegraph, let alone writing to it!) The thing is, my wife – amazing person that she is – is still very much on the Left, into third-wave feminism and anxious about white privilege. As a result, we often disagree, and while there are no raised voices I’m starting to find her attitude condescending and annoying. She says she’ll only engage with me ‘if I want to educate myself’, which is funny, but also somewhat offensive. If I suggest that capitalism is not to blame for the world’s ills, she replies, ‘Well, I’d better talk to someone else then.’ She says it’s like she doesn’t know me, when, in fact, I’m more myself and content than ever. I have a feeling that I’m not alone in this predicament.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift is not the only one re-recording fairly recent albums. Now Brandi Carlile has done it, although with very different reasons than the ones that prompted Swift to revisit her catalog. Carlile has gone back into the studio to redo last year’s “In These Silent Days” in its entirety, in a new, acoustic-focused version that’s been titled “In the Canyon Haze.” The newly recorded album will be out Sept. 28 and is preceded today by “You and Me on the Rock (In the Canyon Haze),” a remake that features her wife, Catherine Carlile, on harmony vocals. Carlile said that the project came about when she was looking at putting out a deluxe edition of “Silent Days” for the album’s upcoming anniversary, with bonus tracks, but settled on a way to make the entire album a bonus. The “canyon” part alludes to how the artist thinks the re-do aims for a vintage Laurel Canyon spirit in the reconfigured arrangements.
