Coming of age with David Byrne’s ‘American Utopia’

Colleen Fischer | Friday, October 23, 2020

If I was in a coming-of-age film, it would open with me slamming the door shut and blaring something David Byrne wrote. There is something about David Byrne and Talking Heads that makes my brain make sense. I was waiting for the film version of “America Utopia” for over a year, and it was worth

Male producers are not the secret sauce in female music

Colleen Fischer | Thursday, October 8, 2020

We need to change how we talk about celebrity male producers in regard to female artists. It’s fun to listen to celebrity male producers like Jack Antonoff and Mark Ronson talk about the creative process behind some of the greatest pop records of the last decade. Mark Ronson’s stories are one of my favorite parts

A look into music’s past

Adam Ramos | Monday, January 18, 2016

I don’t think my folks will ever give up trying to recreate the unbridled exuberance of Christmas morning from my family’s younger years. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, but Lord (happy belated birthday by the way) knows running down the stairs at 7 a.m. is just not happening when sleeping until 11 a.m. is

Question the canon

Matthew Munhall | Sunday, September 20, 2015

During the last week of August, Pitchfork, the tastemaking online music publication, published its list of the 200 Best Songs of the 1980s. The introduction argued that from these lists “we learn something about how perceptions of decades change over time, and how the musical ideas from a given era filter through to later generations.”

St. Vincent live is heavenly

Matthew Munhall | Monday, November 3, 2014

  I saw Annie Clark, the musician St. Vincent, live at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this July, and again last Friday night at the festival’s Paris incarnation. After these two entrancing sets, I am confident making this statement: St. Vincent is hands down the best live act in the world right now. Clark

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
