Today's entertainment news is split between a genuine artistic event and a structural industry problem. Big Thief premiered a 29-song triple album live, while a piece on lost film financing tools reminds us how much the business has changed.
One story is about the art itself, the other about the money that makes it possible.
Big Thief played all 29 songs from their upcoming triple album "Horsepower" at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, with guests including Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch. It's a major statement from a band that already operates at a high level.
Ted Hope argues that America once had tax policies that created movie investors, and we threw them away. Two outlets picked this up, which suggests it's resonating with people who feel the current indie film financing model is broken.

Joe Swanberg is back with his first feature in nearly a decade, 'The Sun Never Sets,' and talks about why he stepped away. The interview covers his approach to sex scenes and what changed while he was gone.
