Making music with my kid

Posted on January 3, 2021 by John Lucas

As many of you know, I am a musician. Well, sometimes. It’s not how I make my living, but it has been one of my main creative outlets for many years.

From the Archives: Anthony Daniels (2015 & 2019)

Posted on December 17, 2020 by John Lucas

Threepio has certainly taken Daniels to some enviable places. How many actors can say that they have dined with the king and queen of Jordan, conducted the London Symphony Orchestra, been a presenter at the Oscars, and appeared on Sesame Street four times?

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...

From the Archives: Tom and Matt Berninger (2014)

Posted on November 10, 2020November 10, 2020 by John Lucas

Tom lasted eight-and-a-half months on the road before the inevitable firing, long enough for him to capture his brother and the rest of the National at their best (and occasionally their worst) with the handheld camera he just happened to have with him.

From the Archives: Mother Mother (2017)

Posted on November 5, 2020 by John Lucas

From the Archives: Chester Brown (2011)

Posted on October 6, 2020 by John Lucas

Chester Brown must have known what he was getting himself into. In creating Paying for It, the Toronto-based cartoonist was setting himself up for criticism, not just of his work but of himself and his chosen lifestyle.

Spiegelman notes that the barrier between “high art” and “lowbrow” has eroded significantly over the past 20-odd years. More and more, work like his is being taken seriously, for better or worse.

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.
