‘It needs to be loud’: Jozef Van Wissem’s one-man mission to make the lute rock again

-
The Dutch ex-punk and Jim Jarmusch bandmate talks about his passion to free up a hidebound repertoire and make its strings ‘a real pop instrument’ Nobody can accuse Jozef Van Wissem of doing things by halves. The musician, very likely the world’s most notorious contemporary lutenist, owns a sonic arsenal of eight of the string instruments: some bespoke, and all boasting remarkable features. With them he has created a huge body of work, nearly 50 titles to date. Another album, This Is My Blood is released this May. Each Easter, Van Wissem settles down to compose a new record. He finds the peace of Warsaw, where everyone has “gone away for the holidays”, more amenable for work than “noisy” Rotterdam, where he also has a flat.

Chicago West, Age 4, Has Taken Over The Cosmetics Chair For Her Aunt Khloé Kardashian

-
Khloé Kardashian posted a series of adorable photos to her Instagram account on Monday, highlighting her niece North West's impressive makeup application skills at the age of four. She wrote that North West artistically directed her glam while applying her lipstick. Khloé Kardashian, who received her second child with Tristan Thompson via surrogate in July, commented over a video of her complimenting Chi with the words, "Jet lag is setting in." Khloé just gave birth to her second child with Tristan Thompson. Following the lip liner application, Chicago proceeded on to the application of eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. When Khloé, 38, and Chicago, 1, traveled to Milan over the past weekend to attend their mother Kim Kardashian's Dolce & Gabbana collaboration unveiling on Saturday, it was evident that the two have been bonding over the past few days. Dolce & Gabbana hosted Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding in Italy, which the Kar-Jenner family attended. Kim Kardashian wore the bejeweled ensemble for the first time earlier this year when the entire Kar-Jenner crew was in Portofino for the celebration. It should come as no surprise that the kid of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would be artistic and inclined toward makeup; however, it is possible that Chicago will be pushed to experiment with her mother's Skkn by Kim goods rather than her cosmeceuticals; North West's makeup preoccupation shifted to a skincare routine after their father Kanye West stopped her from applying makeup until she was older. On the other hand, since that Chicago was simply showing off her abilities to her aunt and not to herself, perhaps the rest of the cast can put on face masks together and just calm out.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
