Muse to release sixth album in September 2012 - BBC News
Muse's Matt Bellamy revealed the new album would be out in September
Muse have revealed the title and release date for their forthcoming sixth studio album.
The Teignmouth rockers announced the title of the album, The 2nd Law, in a video trailer posted on their website.
The clip also confirmed that the album would be coming out in September after spending most of the year in a studio in London.
The band's most recent album The Resistance topped the UK album chart when it was released in 2009.
The two-minute long video on the group's website for the new album features a montage of news events, performance footage of the band and a clip of a track which appears to be influenced by dubstep.
Last month thousands of people turned out to see the threesome carry the Olympic flame through their Devon home town.
Their last live appearances in the UK came when they headlined the Reading and Leeds festivals in August 2011.
Oakland commissioners reject bid to link DIA tax approval to Wayne, Macomb - detroitnews.com
Pontiac— A proposal to link Oakland County's vote on a millage for the Detroit Institute of Arts to identical measures in Macomb and Wayne counties was defeated Thursday by the Board of Commissioners.
The board voted 15-10 against the resolution, which would have stipulated that Oakland County wouldn't have to pay its share of the millage if either Wayne or Macomb voters rejected the tax in August.
The DIA is seeking a regional 10-year, 0.2-mill tax to pay for operations, allowing the institute to focus on raising money for an operational fund which they say will be a better business model for the future.
The tax would cost the owner of a $200,000 home about $20 per year. It's expected to raise $23 million: $11 million from Oakland, $9 million from Wayne and $3 million from Macomb.
If either Wayne or Macomb voters do not approve the millage, Oakland County would still pay the $11 million if voters pass it.
"It was sold originally to us a month ago as a regional tax that needed all three communities. Now they would take Oakland County taxpayers' money only," said Commissioner Christine Long, R-Commerce Township, who supported Thursday's resolution and voted against putting the tax on the ballot last month.
"It's just clear that we could be stuck carrying the load, paying the bill again. Wayne County could walk free. Macomb county could walk free," said Commissioner Robert Gosselin, R-Troy, who also voted for the proposal tying the counties' votes together.
Voting against the proposal were Republicans Kathy Crawford of Novi, Bill Dwyer of Troy, Chairman Michael Gingell of Pontiac, Bob Hoffman of Highland and Thomas Middleton of Clarkston.
All of the Democratic commissioners voted against the proposal.
Birmingham Commissioner David Potts, one of the Republicans who has supported the millage, voted against the proposal. He said bonding the issue with Macomb County sets a "dangerous precedent."
"If we adopt and support this resolution, we are ceding Oakland County's sovereignty to a county we don't always agree with and we don't match up with demographically," he said.
Commissioner Craig Covey, D-Ferndale, said linking Oakland County to Macomb and Wayne counties would take away voters' voices.
"We created this arts authority. We voted to allow voters of our county to vote on a millage in August," he said. "This amendment would negate what the voters are saying."
