Michael Powell (8 titles, tied for 11th with 5 others – 34th overall in points with 19,155, just behind Robert Altman and just ahead of Clint Eastwood) Michael Latham Powell (September 30, 1905 – February 19, 1990) was a renowned English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger , working together as "The Archers".

Temporary Pleasures , will feature the vocal abilities of Gruff Rhys, Jamie Lidell, Alexis Taylor, Telepathe, BETH DITTO, and of course, Chris Keating of Yeasayer.

But for now, we have the immensely great “Audacity of Huge” with Yeasayer’s co-founder. “Audacity…” is the perfect, bouncy song to kick start your next dance party — though I’d suggest you wait...Read Full Story
