RUSH’s ALEX LIFESON On War In Ukraine: ‘It’s Heartbreaking To See What Happened’
RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson, whose parents were Serbian immigrants from Yugoslavia, was asked in a new interview with Regina-Leader Post for his thoughts about what is happening in Ukraine right now. He responded: “When this all started happening a month ago, my mother said it was so shocking to her because she remembered when the Nazis came into her town in Serbia very early in the (Second World War) and how terrified they were and how brutal they were. It just seemed to go on and on and on. Then finally the Russians came and got rid of the Germans … and they were quite brutal in a different way. Any invading army is. We could say what the Americans did in Iraq was just as brutal as what we’re seeing. But this is so seemingly uncalled for, so medieval and so wrong in so many w...

American Football shared the video for their cover of the Mazzy Star’s 1993 alternative hit “Fade Into You.” [embedded content][embedded content] The trio tapped Miya Folick for guest vocals, as well as for a cameo in the video along with the band’s vocalist and guitarist, Mike Kinsella. The David M. Helman-directed video captures an interpretation of the human experience. “I loved the concept of taking a bunch of strangers’ mundane moments and literally fading them into each other,” Kinsella say, “creating a sort of visual game of telephone where everyone’s personal experience disappears into someone else’s completely different experience of the same situation.” American Football’s “Fade Into You” features pedal steel by Brian Wilkie. The cover will appear with the American Football origi...
Siesta Key Discussion: Kelsey Finally Asked Max If He Sees ‘A Future’ With Her
Kelsey and a newly single Juliette could soon have more in common than a passion for fashion. While much focus was put on Juliette’s split with Sam on the latest Siesta Key, we also saw Kelsey and Max looking at the state of their own union. Kelsey hasn’t exactly been quiet about her doubt surrounding life in Sarasota. With her best friend Madisson now living in Los Angeles and planning a wedding, Kels is considering her own future — and that includes Max, her boyfriend of two years who recently swapped his home state of Kentucky for the Key. “It’s something I’ve thought about a lot, but also it’s hard because Max just moved here. I just feel like more and more recently, I have kind of been pushed out of the group, but I do...
Should Da’Vonne Use Ex on the Beach To Finally Sow Her Oats?
If Ex on the Beach is about sowing wild oats, it might be time for Da’Vonne of The Challenge and Big Brother to get with the program. On this week’s premiere episode, Day came to terms with a romantic past that she’s deemed a little too conservative — so it time to go wild by barreling into her dating future, or would it be more worth her while to take a beat and dig deeper into her past? On the premiere episode, Da’Vonne, who’s famous for going head-to-head with Challenge contestants like Wes and Zach with no fear, showed a uniquely vulnerable side during the Singles’ first dinner. When the gang went around the table sharing the wildest places they’ve had sex (Arisce said a BMW, Ray admitted it was during a cruise with his family), Da’Vonne got teary. Not because s...

Shane MacGowan’s The Eternal Buzz and The Crock of Gold
We are rarely permitted a visual glimpse into a rock icon’s psyche the way we are with Shane MacGowan’s new book, The Eternal Buzz and The Crock of Gold. To be released on April 29, it showcases six decades of the English-born Irish singer’s unpublished writing, unseen handwritten lyrics, and drawings and sketches from MacGowan’s childhood and through the years. In an auspicious turn of events, MacGowan’s wife Victoria Mary Clarke discovered her mother had been holding onto Shane’s artwork, unbeknownst to them.“When we were making The Crock of Gold documentary, Julien Temple wanted some of Shane’s drawings so I asked my mum to have a look and see if she had any. She sent me a bin bag full of drawings and lyrics that I had asked her to look after 25 years ago, we didn’t even know it existed...
