Square Roots 2024: 7/13-7/14

Big Star Quintet's Jody Stephens

BY JORDAN MAINZER

One of this year's Square Roots headliners is calling it quits after their upcoming album and current tour, and another hasn't really been a proper incarnation of itself for a decade and a half. Nostalgia be damned, this past weekend, both X and Big Star Quintet beat the heat and sounded as good as ever. Okay, my in-person experience with X is limited to Riot Fest 2017, I never got to see Big Star, and otherwise, all I have are each band's multiple live albums to wonder what they might have been like in their heyday. Hindsight aside, X's cowpunk momentousness and Big Star Quintet's glorious sky-high rock and roll rendered them the unabashed standouts of a weekend that featured guitar music heavyweights new and old.

X's John Doe & Exene Cervenka

X has released only one song from their final record Smoke & Fiction (Fat Possum), and they did perform a few new chuggers during their Saturday night headlining set. But from the moment Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, D.J. Bonebrake, and touring drummer Craig Packham entered the stage to Link Wray's "Rumble", you knew their focus would be the past: "You're Phone's Off The Hook, But You're Not", "In This House That I Call Home", and "Because I Do". Yes, Zoom whipped out his saxophone and Bonebrake his vibes; Cervenka and Doe's contrasting vocal timbres gave the whole set an rousing feel, as if the sonically diverse voices in the crowd were meant to shout along with them. They did, to the stuttering "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts", and some of the more musically inclined, limber set goers perfectly air-drummed Packham's choppy thwacks on "Los Angeles". If X is truly leaving us, they're at least still having a blast.

Big Star Quintet's Chris Stamey

Big Star Quintet, meanwhile, may have only one member of the original power pop quartet in drummer and vocalist Jody Stephens, but they feel more Big Star than, say, the current Beach Boys feel like the Beach Boys. (I know, that's not a high bar to clear.) But at least two of the members have direct connections. Jon Auer (The Posies) was part of the reformed Big Star from 1993 until 2010, when the deaths of Alex Chilton and Andy Hummel effectively ended the band. Chris Stamey briefly played bass for Chilton in the late 70s before embarking on his own musical career with The dB's. And while R.E.M.'s Mike Mills (who participated in a Chilton tribute concert during SXSW 2010) couldn't join the Quintet in the Chicago area, not one, but two members of Wilco (bassist John Stirratt and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone) rounded out the lineup and provided a wonderful local connection to boot.

Big Star Quintet's Pat Sansone

The Quintet was celebrating the 50th anniversary of Big Star's sophomore masterpiece Radio City, but on Sunday night, they didn't adhere to any self-imposed rules and play the album front-to-back. Instead, before even mentioning Radio City or playing any of its songs, they started their set by banging out 9 (!) straight from Big Star's debut, #1 Record, switching off lead vocals and instrumentation. Stirratt unleashed a feverish falsetto on "In The Street", immediately answering the question of who would sing "September Gurls" when the band inevitably played it last. Sansone and Auer gorgeously harmonized on the ripping rocker "Don't Lie To Me", while Stamey provided some welcome quietude on "Give Me Another Chance" and "Watch the Sunrise". The band itself was in sync, but not stuffy, deft enough to tackle the funk-to-stadium rock breakdowns of Radio City's "O, My Soul", loose enough to adhere to the snappy ramshackle spirit of the harmonica-imbued "Life Is White".

Big Star Quintet's Jon Auer

When Stephens sang, though, it felt a little bit like time stopped, and not because he brought the house down or anything. (His voice does remain strong!) He dedicated "The India Song" and "Way Out West" to Hummel, stating, simply and heartbreakingly, "He was a close one to me." And when the rest of the band stepped up to the microphone with acoustic guitars in hand, and it was clear they were to play the beloved "Thirteen", Stephens admitted, "I remember being 13, don't you? I was really uncomfortable with myself, but it makes for a great song!" Here was the last remaining connection to one of the greatest bands in American history, still vulnerable, reminding you that no matter how old you get or how long certain songs and records have been around, the emotions never die.

Sansone

Lydia Loveless

Oh, I'll throw in a bonus weekend standout: the great Lydia Loveless, less than a year removed from their sixth LP, Nothing's Gonna Stand in My Way Again (Bloodshot). The record is classic Loveless, heartbroken, all while dealing with the trials and tribulations of life both regular ("Toothache") and time-specific (pandemic isolation). Their high and lonesome twang pervaded each song, save for Nothing's "Poor Boy", during which Loveless belted, showing off their vocal chops. "Sex and Money" proved to be the cheeky live anthem you knew it was going to be the first time you heard it. At the same time, Loveless continued to give their previous album Daughter its due. (Introducing "Wringer", Loveless quipped that it was "from Daughter, which came out in 2020, which means it was very successful...everybody was out doing stuff, money burning holes in their pockets.") From the prickly guitar strums of "Say My Name" to the deliberate drum beats of "Don't Bother Mountain", the latter of which saw Loveless switch to synth, their performance of the Daughter songs showcased that it's Loveless' most thematic and instrumentally diverse album to date. That's not a small feat, with a catalog as deep as theirs.

No, Kate Middleton isn’t a supermodel from the ‘90s, but when I see a good dress, I have to celebrate it! The Duchess of Cambridge wore Jenny Packham to the premiere of Daniel Craig’s final Bond movie, No Time to Die, and she was simply stunning! So in love with this dress and how radiant she looks in it!

[cygneeclectique]

[famdommcfanface]

Can I just say this is awesome and also Justin Edwards is from my city? Which I never knew??

You know what would be really useful for me as a non-native English speaker and Britcom fan? Something like a map or even a list showing the city/region where all the comedians are from (or where they grew up). I think I’m slowly getting a bit better at picking up on whether someone for example has a more Northern or Southern accent (slowly being the key word here…), but I definitely can’t find out the exact region yet, so…I think it would help a lot if I knew who’s from the same region like someone else? Like, I might notice certain words they are using more often than others, pronunciation differencies etc. Well, I don’t think something like that exists, but if it does…please tell me about it ;)

Golden girl! Radiant Kate Middleton dazzles in a custom Jenny Packham sequin gown with cape sleeves as she joins William, Charles and Camilla at the No Time To Die premiere in a rare joint engagement

By Jessica Green For Mailonline - September 28th 2021, 7:06:44 pm

William and Kate, both 39, stepped out on to the red carpet to meet 007 star Daniel Craig and other cast members at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

[duchessofostergotlands]

I’m probably in the minority that agree with you ha! But then again, I’m not a huge fan of overly embellished dresses! I think you said it all though… I like the cape aspect but the dress is so worked it looks cheap. I don’t mind a bit of embellishment but this is A LOT. The hair is ok and the earrings are bleh… far from my favourite Kate look, but she looks so glowy and the makeup is nice!

Ps. I got all the love for Daniel Craig’s tux! That colour… it’s divine!

Yeah I don’t mind embellished dresses but they are rarely my favourites. Everyone loves that green sequin look Victoria wore to the Nobels too and I didn’t like that, it’s not just Kate. I loved the 2011 Jenny Packham sequin because the way the sequins were placed, the pattern she’d created using the silver and the pinkish colour, was really beautiful. And the fabric just looked expensive, it looked like it had taken a lot of craftsmanship, whereas just whacking some tinsel on it feels a bit basic. 

Kate is a beautiful woman. Her make up, whatever moisturiser or skin thing she’s wearing, that is all working for her. She rarely doesn’t look beautiful because she is a beautiful woman. It’s not an ugly dress or a bad dress by any means. But I won’t lie and say I think it’s the best gown she’s ever worn when it’s simply not my thing. It’s not a personal attack, it’s not a reflection on how she as a person looks, it’s just a dress. 

Daniel looked great! The bar is so low for males but I appreciate him bringing a bit of an unusual colour and something different. I give it a thumbs up!

Open for bootleg trading~

Hello all! I am posting my bootleg list here for now as a temporary list until I get my website up and running- I am open to trading! I’m mainly looking for any Cats production- preferably English or Dutch but any musical would be nice to have and expand my collection.

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

Like I said I would love any cats bootleg- especially the older ones in English and Dutch from like the 80′s till the 00′s. I am also looking for more diversity in my list- and I’m also looking for the classics- Dear Evan Hansen, Falsetto’s, some more Phantom Of the Opera, Mean Girls, Legally Blond, etc...

Daily Mail Online publico en su página digital lo más reciente del estreno de la película del agente 007, relacionado con la familia 👪 real.

Kate Middleton deslumbró anoche en el estreno de la nueva película de James Bond No Time To Die mientras rindió un conmovedor homenaje a la princesa Diana .

La duquesa de Cambridge , de 39 años, se unió a Charles, de 72, Camilla, de 74, y su esposo, el príncipe William, para conocer a la estrella de 007, Daniel Craig, y otros miembros del elenco, incluidos Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux y Lashana Lynch en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres.

Kate, madre de tres hijos, deslumbró en el evento con un vestido adornado personalizado de Jenny Packham, que generalmente tiene un precio de £ 2,800. Con detalles de mangas de capa y hombros estructurados, combinó su vestido con pendientes Onitaa a medida de £ 290, que fueron hechos en Pakistán por la marca de alta costura de lujo del sur de Asia.

La elección del vestido de Kate recordaba mucho a un atuendo similar que usó la princesa Diana en 1985 para el estreno de la película de James Bond A View to Kill.
