Justice is a smooth (sometimes too smooth) album about the work love requires, and the most mature thing in Bieber’s catalogue. Photo: Youtube This time a year ago, Justin Bieber was preparing to take his then-latest album on the road for a three-month string of stadium shows, covering venues along the east and west coasts, the South, the Midwest, and big cities in Quebec and Ontario. Changes , a collection of R&B love letters conveniently released on Valentine’s Day, was a commercial success led by its almost chart-topping single, “Yummy. ” Still, there was much to prove. The tour for 2015’s Purpose , which crisscrossed continents from between winter of 2016 and the summer of 2017, ended two months early when the singer abruptly canceled 14 dates. A statement from his longtime manager Scooter Braun said, without getting into specifics, that Bieber’s “soul and well-being” needed to come first for an indefinite amount of time. “I want my career to be … [Read more...] about Justin Bieber’s New Album Is Mostly Peace, No Justice (Phew)

Denis Leary as Johnny Rock. Photo: FX Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is superficial title for a superficial show. Created by Denis Leary, this half-hour FX comedy, which premieres tonight, follows Johnny Rock (Leary), the lead singer of the Heathens. The band apparently flamed out in the ‘90s — or was it the ‘80s, or the ‘70s? It’s often hard to tell — when they were right on the cusp of stardom. In the present, Johnny learns that he has an adult daughter, Gigi (Elizabeth Gilles), by a former bandmate, and that Gigi can really, really sing; this inspires him to try to get the band back together to write some new material and finally claim the megastardom that he believes was their destiny. So he reassembles Flash (John Corbett), bassist Rehab (John Ales), drummer Bam Bam (Robert Kelly), and one of his old backup singers Ava (Elaine Hendrix), who happens to be his girlfriend of 25 years, and we’re off. The show could be described as the third panel in the actor-writer’s … [Read more...] about Denis Leary’s

In the last week, skaters from Australia, the Philippines, the U.S., and, of course those sexy Canadians , have danced to songs from the 2001 musical, and Luhrmann, Australia’s king of camp, is definitely here for it. To get some insight into the phenomenon, John Horn of KPCC’s radio show and podcast The Frame , talked to Luhrmann about the 2018 Winter Olympics and the glittery, gaudy, and totally complementary relationship between figure skating and Moulin Rouge! The Moulin Rouge! element of the figure-skating program is … [Read more...] about Baz Luhrmann on Figure Skating’s Love Affair With
