Julien Baker and TORRES Cancel Spring Tour Dates

Continuing, the statement read, 'This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding.'
Though the specifics are unknown at this time, it is possible that the canceled is related to an incident that occurred in March in which a 'key member' of the touring party suffered a concussion (possibly Baker, given the new statement). The duo canceled just three bookings at that time, but now, all of their 2025 headlining dates have been called off.
The tour was intended to support TORRES and Baker's recently released collaborative country album, Send a Prayer My Way, which arrived on April 18th with highlight tracks 'Sugar in the Tank' and 'Sylvia.'
In lieu of the headlining dates, fans who want to catch the duo live will still have opportunities to do so — beginning in late June, they are booked for nearly a dozen festival appearances across the US, . Check out the list of their remaining tour dates below.

America's Best Bourbon-According To The New Orleans Spirits Competition
Orleans and Bourbon intersection Streets Sign. Held in conjunction with Tails of the Cocktail, the New Orleans Spirit Competition is one of America's top whiskey judgings, getty The New Orleans Spirits Competition (NOSC) is an annual, internationally recognized spirits judging event held in conjunction with Tales of the Cocktail, one of the world's premier cocktail festivals. Established in 2022, the competition quickly gained credibility for its expert panels, rigorous standards, and focus on both craft and large-scale producers. Below are the top bourbons from the 2025 NOSC spirits judging. Heaven Hill's Bottled-in-Bond expression pays homage to one of America's most enduring whiskey traditions, reflecting the standards of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act. It's aged a minimum of four years, bottled at 100 proof, and distilled by a single distillery within a single distilling season. This straight bourbon, typically aged for around seven years, showcases the craftsmanship and legacy of Heaven Hill. The whiskey features aromas of caramel, vanilla, cornbread, accented by toasted oak and a hint of black pepper. It's rich and full-bodied on the palate, showcasing flavors of toffee, charred oak, nutmeg, and baking spices, balanced by dark honey and a touch of dried orange zest. The finish is long, sweet, and flavorful, with lingering notes of wood spices, seasoned oak tannins, and vanilla. This approachable small-batch bourbon honors the founding year of Evan Williams' original distillery. Aged longer than the standard Black Label, it delivers remarkable smoothness and depth for its price point. The whiskey features aromas of vanilla and caramel with hints of seasoned oak, roasted nuts, and a trace of fresh buttered corn. It's smooth, with a candied sweetness on the palate, showcasing notes of brown sugar, marshmallow, and subtle cinnamon spice. The finish is long and sweet, with lingering notes of seasoned oak and vanilla. Starlight Distillery Carl T. Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 46% ABV, 750 ml. $45 Starlight Distillery, part of the Huber family's farm operations in Indiana, blends heritage agriculture with modern distillation techniques. Carl T. is their flagship bourbon, named after patriarch Carl T. Huber. Aged four to five years in new charred oak, it captures the terroir of the Midwest grain belt. The bourbon is a blend of two mash bills: a three-grain mash bill of 60% corn, 20% rye, and 20% malted barley, and a four-grain mash bill of 51% corn, 20% rye, 20% malted barley, and 9% wheat. The whiskey features aromas of roasted corn, ripe apple, cinnamon, and baking spices. It's smooth and flavorful on the palate, showcasing caramelized sugar, dark fruit, graham cracker, and a gentle rye spice backbone. The finish is medium-long and sweet with lingering notes of wood spices, chocolate, and fruitcake flavors. A sample of bourbon whiskey in a glass being evaluated. getty Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Traditional Barrel Series, Wheated Bourbon, 60.5% ABV, 700 ml. $152 Part of Heaven Hill's limited Grain to Glass initiative, this wheated bourbon spotlights local grains and traditional fermentation and distillation techniques. It showcases the softer, sweeter character of wheat as the secondary grain in the mash bill. Aged for 5-10 years, it's six years old on average. The whiskey is matured on floors three, four, and five in rickhouse W3. The bourbon features aromas of buttery pastry, dried cherry, cinnamon toast, and honeysuckle. It's smooth and velvety on the palate, with flavors of baked apple, butterscotch, almond nougat, and spiced honey. The finish is long and silky, with lingering notes of wood spices, cooked grain sweetness, and a subtle hint of aged tobacco leaf. Old Grand-Dad 16 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 50% ABV, 750 ml. $206 This ultra-aged expression from the storied Old Grand-Dad label is a rare gem. Distilled from a high-rye mash bill and matured for 16 years, it offers a powerful and complex profile. It's bottled at a robust proof, featuring intense flavors and appealing to seasoned bourbon drinkers. The bourbon features intense aromas of leather, burnt sugar, aged tobacco, and stewed black cherries. It's robust and spicy on the palate, showcasing bold rye spices, black pepper, dark chocolate, black walnut, molasses, and charred oak. The finish is exceptionally long with lingering notes of black pepper, rye spices, and a dry, earthy leather note. Green River 1885, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 42.5% ABV, 750 ml. $30 Revived in Owensboro, Kentucky, Green River is one of the oldest bourbon brands in the state. This young but lively bourbon is part of the brand's comeback, emphasizing high-quality production even at a youthful age. The mash bill consists of 76% corn, 15% rye, and 9% malted barley. The bourbon features aromas of vanilla pudding, cooked grain, and cinnamon candy. It's light-bodied on the palate and slightly sweet, showcasing flavors of cornbread, green apple, caramel drizzle, and allspice. The finish is relatively short, crisp and spicy, with lingering notes of toasted oak, caramel and black pepper. Blackland Prairie Gold Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 50% ABV, 750 ml. $87 Crafted in Fort Worth, Texas, this bold Texas bourbon is made from a proprietary grain bill that includes flint corn and triticale. The intense Texas heat accelerates the maturation process, creating a robust and flavorful spirit even at a young age. The whiskey features aromas of mesquite, molasses, roasted corn, and saddle leather. It's robust and full-flavored on the palate, showcasing flavors of charred wood, dark fruit compote, chili pepper, and wood spices. The finish is long and intense, with lingering notes of charred oak, dried herbs, and a savory, slightly saline note. Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 63.5% ABV, 750 ml. $62 This innovative expression takes traditional Elijah Craig Small Batch and finishes it in custom-toasted new oak barrels. The toasting process enhances sweetness and wood influence without overwhelming char, making this a cult favorite. The bourbon features aromas of toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, dark caramel, and a hint of cocoa. It's rich and sweet on the palate with dessert-like flavors of vanilla custard, cinnamon toast, maple, and roasted nuts. The finish is long, sweet, and velvety, with lingering notes of wood spices, chocolate, seasoned oak, and caramel. Low Gap Old Fussbudget 8 Year, Cask Strength Straight Bourbon, 46% ABV, 750 ml. $130 Produced in small batches in Mendocino County, California, Low Gap is known for its grain-to-glass approach. The Old Fussbudget is a high-proof, barrel-finished bourbon aged for eight years and often showcases a range of finishing casks such as port or sherry. The mash bill consists of 65% corn, 20% malted barley, and 15% malted rye. The bourbon features aromas of fig, pipe tobacco, espresso, and plum jam. It's intense and full-bodied on the palate, with dark chocolate, wood spices, prune, dried herbs, and candied citrus zest. The finish is long, dry, and warming with lingering notes of oak, bittersweet cocoa, and wood spices. The bourbons honored at the 2025 New Orleans Spirits Competition reflect the incredible diversity and creativity shaping America's whiskey landscape today. Whether drawn from deep Kentucky roots or crafted by rising stars in Indiana, Texas, or California, each expression embodies a unique perspective on America's native spirit. From the accessible charm of Evan Williams 1783 to the bold maturity of Old Granddad 16-Year-Old, these award-winning bourbons deliver a rich spectrum of aromas, textures, and finishes that speak to both heritage and innovation. For collectors, connoisseurs, and curious sippers alike, these top NOSC medalists offer a masterclass in what makes American bourbon so globally revered. More From Forbes

Platonic Season 2: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 23, 2025, 11:09 IST Alright, Platonic fans, the wait is almost over! The Apple TV+ comedy that had us laughing out loud with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne is coming back for a second season, and I'm here to spill all the details. From when it's hitting our screens to who's joining the cast and what kind of chaos Will and Sylvia are getting into this time, here's the lowdown on Platonic Season 2. If you're as obsessed with their messy, hilarious friendship as I am, you're going to want to read this. When Can We Watch Platonic Season 2? Get ready to clear your schedule because Platonic Season 2 drops on August 6, 2025, on Apple TV+. They're kicking things off with a double-episode premiere, and then we'll get one new episode every week until the finale on October 1, 2025. Just like Season 1, it's a 10-episode run, so we've got plenty of Will and Sylvia shenanigans to look forward to. If you need a refresher, Season 1 is streaming on Apple TV+ right now, and trust me, it's worth a rewatch for those laugh-out-loud moments. Not subscribed yet? Head over to Apple TV+'s website to check out their plans—I won't bore you with the details, but they've got options for everyone. Who's Back and Who's New in the Cast? The heart and soul of Platonic —Seth Rogen as Will and Rose Byrne as Sylvia—are back, and thank goodness for that. Their chemistry is pure gold, like catching up with your best friend who always gets you into trouble but makes it so worth it. The rest of the Season 1 gang is returning too, including: Luke Macfarlane as Charlie, Sylvia's patient, lawyer husband who's just trying to keep up. Carla Gallo as Katie, Sylvia's mom-friend with the best deadpan delivery. Tre Hale as Andy, Will's buddy and brewery partner. Andrew Lopez as Reggie, the investor who keeps Will's business dreams alive. Rachel Rosenbloom as Jenna, Will's fiancée, who's now a big part of his life. But wait, there's more! Season 2 is bringing in some fresh faces that have me super excited. We've got: Aidy Bryant , Kyle Mooney , and Beck Bennett , all Saturday Night Live legends, popping in for recurring roles. No word yet on who they're playing, but I'm betting they'll bring some serious comedic heat. Milo Manheim from Disney's Zombies , who's also joining the party in a mystery role. These new additions are going to shake things up, and I can't wait to see how they mess with Will and Sylvia's dynamic. What's Going Down in the Plot? So, what's in store for our favorite platonic duo? Season 2 dives back into Will and Sylvia's world as they tackle the ups and downs of midlife. The official word is they'll be dealing with 'new midlife hurdles,' like work stress, wedding drama, and partners in crisis—oh, and apparently, 'sometimes rocks break things.' Sounds like their friendship is going to cause just as much trouble as it did last season, and I'm here for it. At the end of Season 1, we saw Will engaged to Jenna and landing a fancy new job in San Diego, while Sylvia was all in on their rekindled friendship. Season 2 will pick up on those threads, exploring how Will's engagement and Sylvia's family life (with Charlie and the kids) evolve. The trailer, which dropped on July 17, 2025, gave us a sneak peek, and let me tell you, it's wild. There's a scene where Will accidentally nails someone with a golf ball, and Sylvia's panicking on the phone with 911. Classic. One thing I love about Platonic is that it's sticking to its guns: Will and Sylvia's relationship stays strictly platonic. No tired will-they-won't-they nonsense here—just real, messy, laugh-out-loud friendship. Showrunners Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco are keeping it authentic, focusing on how these two navigate their 40s while still acting like overgrown kids sometimes.

Why We're Loving Long Cakes Right Now
Long cake makes a stunning centerpiece in this dessert display. Move over, tiered cakes — 2025 belongs to the long cake. These striking, centerpiece-style desserts are reshaping what celebrations look like, stretching across party tables and commanding the room with their playful flair. From weddings to birthdays and everything in between, long cakes— typically slender sheet cakes that span anywhere from two to six feet or more — are fast becoming the go-to for trend-forward hosts looking to blend drama with functionality. 'I started making long centerpiece-style cakes in 2023,' says Olivia Wilson, a Richmond-based baker known for her elegant, floral-forward designs. 'My first client was open to experimentation, so we did a super skinny long cake to serve as the centerpiece of her massive grazing table for a birthday party.' That experiment sparked a trend Wilson couldn't have predicted. 'The following year, almost all of my wedding cakes were six feet or longer,' she adds. 'My clients have been excited about this new option for their event — I think folks appreciate the drama, while retaining the cake's approachability and whimsical nature.' Sugared fruit, leaves, and elegant swirls adorn this extra long sheet cake. It's not just aesthetics that are winning people over. The elongated sheet cake style, typically frosted and adorned with edible florals, fruits, herbs, or even custom signage, doubles as an edible runner or showpiece. Because it's low and horizontal rather than tall and , it allows for more accessible slicing and a more interactive presentation. 'For me, it's a logical option,' Wilson says. 'It makes it easier on the catering side or for whomever is tasked with slicing and serving — and that makes me happy to not add more stress to their night.' Event planners agree. With long cakes, there's no need for a big ceremonial cut or the awkward logistics of disassembling tiers. Guests can simply slice and serve themselves, grazing as they would from a charcuterie board or dessert table. It's self-serve, but with style. The length of these stylish cakes allow for easier cutting and sharing. The appeal of long cakes also taps into a broader trend in the dining and events world: maximalist minimalism. These cakes are often rectangular and unstacked, a design choice that feels minimalist at first glance. But the real magic is in the decoration. With ample real estate, decorators can build elaborate scenes; mossy forest paths using fresh thyme, cascades of figs and berries, or trails of freshly picked wildflowers and edible glitter. 'This style also serves as a very fun canvas for creating a little fairy wonderland with fresh produce and flowers,' Wilson notes. 'I also make long bûche De Noëls,' she adds, referring to her holiday offerings, which leaned into a quaint, log-style format. 'It really took off.' Social media, of course, has played its part. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are flooded with videos of long cakes being dressed like enchanted gardens or delicately sliced by wandering guests. The visual payoff is undeniable. And compared to traditional cakes, these are easier to photograph and harder to forget. For the new generation of hosts—many of whom are seeking ways to make large events feel more casual and communal—the long cake hits all the right notes. It's shareable. It's stylish. And it turns the humble sheet cake into something worthy of a toast. Though some purists may argue that it lacks the grandeur of a traditional multi-tiered confection, Wilson disagrees. 'There's a softness to them that people love,' she says. 'They're grand, but not intimidating.' In other words: long cakes are here to stay, and their moment has only just begun. If you're hosting a wedding, birthday, or art-forward supper club, there's never been a better time to think outside the (tiered) box.
