Green Day recently talked with Rolling Stone about their highly anticipated new full length. The record is titled 21st Century Breakdown and is due out May 20, 2009. Billie Joe Armstrong explained:
American Idiot marked a really high bar for us. It’s easy to go, ‘OK, we can just write a collection of songs.’ But there was something about trying to keep going for it.
Like 2004’s American Idiot, the record follows a narrative, which:
Veers from hard-charging garage rockers to oversize Queen-style grandeur. Chronicling the life of a young couple as they deal with the mess our 43rd president left behind, the punk opera is divided into three acts: “Heroes and Cons,” “Charlatans and Saints” and “Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.”
The band is planning to perform all three acts of the album at each stop on their forthcoming world tour which is set for July and rumored to include a reunited Blink 182.

Suite of Services Expands With Customer Executable Generation (CEG), Support for DLC, Matchmaking, and More
March 24, 2009 – Valve today announced a new set of advanced features delivered in Steamworks, a complete suite of publishing and development tools that are available free of charge to developers and publishers worldwide.
Headlining the new feature set is the Custom Executable Generation (CEG) technology that compliments the already existing anti-piracy solution offered in Steamworks. A customer friendly approach to anti-piracy, CEG makes unique copies of games for each user allowing them to access the application on multiple machines without install limits and without having to install root kits on their PC.
The new features also include support for in-game downloadable content (DLC) and matchmaking. The in-game DLC support allows developers to deliver new content as they choose (paid or free) from inside the game itself, allowing users to make immediate purchases and experience the new content in the same game session. The Steamworks matchmaking now includes the robust lobby system shipped and tested in Left 4 Dead.
“Delivering this extension of services on Steamworks first anniversary, demonstrates our commitment to continually develop the platform to better serve the community working with these tools,” said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. “As we roll out these features, we continue to look for new ways make PC games easier to create and better for customers to experience.”
Steamworks was launched in early 2008 and has already shipped in products distributed at retail and electronically with major PC releases such as Empire: Total War, Dawn of War II, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, and Football Manager 2009.
The Steamworks services are offered free of charge to developers and publishers around the world. In addition to the services added in this spring’s extension, Steamworks offers support for Steam Achievements, Steam Community, Auto Updating, Statistics, Steam Cloud and more.
Steamworks is fully integrated with the Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games that has grown to reach 20 million accounts throughout the world, up from 15 million accounts just one year ago. Steam now offers over 500 applications to gamers in every country of the world.
