Brandon Boyd has shared a new animated video for his latest single, ‘A Better Universe’ – you can watch it below.Produced by John Congleton, the rousing new track is the fourth to be lifted from the Incubus frontman’s upcoming new solo album, ‘Echoes And Cocoons’.In a statement explaining the inspiration behind ‘A Better Universe’, Boyd said: “Did you ever encounter someone so far gone in their malignant narcissism and self aggrandizing, self assured egomania that all you could do was take a deep breath and walk away? Of course you have, you see a potential ‘them’ in the mirror each day.“Have you ever wished that that ‘someone’ would die? Would that even solve the problem? For if they found an audience so eager and ready to glutton themselves on the message, could it not be argued that there will be yet another wolf in wolf’s clothing waiting in the wings to rush in and fill that void? I found myself in the teeth of this dilemma recently and I struggled with the ethical problem that was clinging to its heels. Then, shortly after locking horns with this philosophical bull, I met the person whom I’d come to this unfortunate impasse with in a dream.”Boyd then went on to quote some of the song’s lyrics: “I met you in a dream, and in the dream you died/ I slow danced on your grave, and I got all teary eyed/ I woke up with a smile, wiped the tears away/ I wished that it were real/ So it goes, so I’ll say, I’m sorry but it’s a better universe without you in it/ Did you read the book or did you just see the movie?/ Every breath you take is just a waste of air.”“Do I wish ill upon my fomenter? I do not.

Birmingham City took on Luton Town.The incident occurred during Saturday afternoon's Championship clash between the two sides, which Birmingham won by three goals to nil.Home supporters had launched tennis balls onto the pitch in protest at the club's owner Paul Suen and Birmingham Sports Holdings Ltd, who operate the club.It is understood that fan frustrations are being driven by the perceived lack of progress with regards to the redevelopment of St Andrew's, which led to the protest during Saturday's game.With Luton on the attack through Elijah Adebayo, one steward took it upon themselves to run onto the pitch to collect one of the tennis balls.This caused referee Darren Bond to stop play, much to the annoyance of Adebayo and his Luton teammates.Once play had been stopped, players and stewards quickly cleared the balls from the pitch, whilst fans continued to launch more and more onto the turf.Luton boss Nathan Jones felt that the protest and the stewards intervention had halted his side's momentum during the match.What is the most bizarre thing you have seen a steward do during a match? Let us know in the comments section below.Speaking after the defeat, he said: “The tennis balls killed the momentum and then the steward stepped on the pitch inexplicably.“I am very reluctant to not give Birmingham credit because they must have done something right today but we were really inept in our performance.“We can’t affect the protest but it did seem to kill our momentum.”The play-off chasing Hatters were unable to haul themselves back into the match following the stoppage in play, as hosts Birmingham ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.Goals from Juninho Bacuna, Lyle Taylor and Onel Hernandez ended a run of four matches without a

Holly Jones Bolivian-Mexican filmmaker Natalia López Gallardo enjoyed tandem careers in editing (“Jauja,” “Post Tenebras Lux”) and acting (“Nuestro Tiempo”), as she made her debut as auteur with the short film “En el cielo como en la tierra.” In her first feature-length project, “Robe of Gems,” she tackles the parallel individual struggles of three women against a backdrop of unrelenting cartel infiltration.What lured you into directing after careers in editing and acting? Was it a natural progression?Definitely, yes, it was there, but I think maybe it took time to accumulate the big necessity. I think it’s very important to have that need to do a film. It’s not a desire; it’s not an objective; you have to need it because that impulse that makes you start a film has to last maybe five years with the same power.
