Posted on October 5, 2022October 5, 2022 by John Lucas

From the Archives: Nelly Furtado (2006 & 2013)

Posted on November 26, 2020November 26, 2020 by John Lucas

What has tongues wagging these days is sex. First there was the interview with European gay-lifestyle magazine GUS, in which Furtado said she believes all people are inherently bisexual...

You’d never know it from his on-stage swagger—he looks as comfortable in the spotlight as the natural-born rock star his voice and six-string chops suggest he is—but Ryan Guldemond considers himself an introvert.

From the Archives: Jason Pierce of Spiritualized (2012)

Posted on August 22, 2020September 6, 2022 by John Lucas

No one has ever accused Jason Pierce of taking shortcuts. The Spiritualized mastermind has been known to take as long as a year to mix an album, even though he admits he doesn’t especially enjoy the painstaking process.

From the Archives: Die Antwoord (2010)

Posted on April 29, 2020December 31, 2020 by John Lucas

It’s a safe bet that no one watching the “Enter the Ninja” video had ever seen anything like it before. While Ninja spits head-spinning rhymes about decapitating haters, Vi$$er does a Lolita routine in a bedroom plastered with pictures of her bandmate and crawling with rats.

From the Archives: Father John Misty, Part Two (2015)

Follow me on SoundCloud

Posted on April 15, 2020 by John Lucas

I just created a page on SoundCloud where I will posting tracks I have created at home by myself, some new and some old. These are all things that don't generally fit into my current musical project, the Starling Effect. But, who knows, they might morph into Starling Effect songs somehow.

From the Archives: Strand of Oaks, Part Two (2019)

Posted on April 12, 2020 by John Lucas

His picture is on the cover, but Timothy Showalter insists that he is not, in fact, the person primarily responsible for the existence of the latest Strand of Oaks album, Eraserland.
