‘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.

Kris Jenner Recently Admitted That She Owns A Beverly Hills Condo That She Had Completely Forgotten About

-
On Thursday's episode of "Kardashians," Kris Jenner gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse inside her Beverly Hills apartment, but she didn't give a tour since she had forgotten she was the house's owner. The grandmother, age 66, said to Khloé Kardashian in the second season premiere, "This is a cute little apartment if I must say so myself." One of the people responsible for The Good American joked that Jenner had forgotten she owned the building. Kim Kardashian, 38, recently questioned her mother, a talent manager, about the last time she visited the luxury unit, to which she responded, "It's my Santa's workshop and my gift wrapping station." If only I were rich enough... Kardashian said to her in a fake British accent, "Oh, I have a condo in Beverly Hills," implying that she had forgotten she owned any real estate. The thought never even crossed my mind! I completely disregarded that! With her own British accent, Jenner added her two cents. After some back-and-forth, she revealed in a confessional that she bought the apartment so she could be near her mother, Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell, and her cousin, Cici Bussey. Actually, I forgot it was there for a while, Jenner joked. Do you agree that's completely absurd? Together, she and Kardashian threw out the expired food and over twenty bottles of champagne that had been sitting in the condo's mostly underused refrigerator. Jenner justified keeping alcohol on hand "in case of emergency." Then she proposed throwing the garbage bag over the edge onto the street, where it might be picked up later, an idea Kardashian quickly shot down. Jenner made concessions, and an unseen individual removed the garbage can lid and took the bag away. People made fun of and criticized Jenner's wealth in social media posts about her abandoned property. Having as much money as Kris Jenner did when she forgot she possessed a swanky Beverly Hills condo. It's not just that she exclusively uses it over the holiday season but, as one admirer pointed out on Twitter.

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...
