Aussie musician @benleemusic.bsky.social shares the moment when he was "given permission" to have a "magnanimous agenda" in his art. It's a lesson that might change how you think about your own creative work, too. Listen to 5AM StoryTalk's chat with Ben: colehaddon.substack.com/p/new-podcas...

#NowSpinning Noise Addict - Young And Jaded (1994) After 2 years as a group, 2 singles, & 2 EPs, the title could be true of a now 16 year old Ben Lee & his Aussie bandmates. This slacker #indiepop EP came out stateside on Grand Royal, leading to Lee's first solo LP #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Oddly packed boxes from home come at you fast. Spot the wee @benleemusic.bsky.social for bonus points. Also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, that Muppets notebook is where my parents kept a record of all my bowel movements, sleeping hours, and nursing times in 1980. I…did not need that.

What a privilege to see @benleemusic.bsky.social in Canberra tonight! An astonishingly generous performer, who took my shouted request for “bring my body home“ noting only that as far as he recalled the correct title was “ship my body home“.

My friend wrote a book! Ione Skye has written a wonderfully intimate and occasionally harrowing account of her adventures in the music and film trade during the 1980s and 1990s … I will be chatting with her about it tonight in New York City, if you happen to be around and are interested.

RIP David Johansen. I loved his presence in the music sphere. I especially loved all his post Dolls solo albums when he was right in the fray trying for a boba fide rock career. He wasn’t afraid to fall over and tried all sorts of goofy stuff but was heartfelt all the while. In Style was his second

Ione Skye Was an Enigma in Her 1990s Heyday. Now She’d Like a Word.

In her new memoir, the actress known for movies like “Say Anything” and “Gas Food Lodging” talks about Hollywood, bisexuality and the trappings of Gen X fame.
