Isaac Brock told me The Golden Casket came out of years of noise loops, UFOs, invisible frequencies and an abandoned plan to make a kalimba record. “I’m reevaluating my overall view of the universe.” Makes sense after the alien sightings. lnkd.in/geZaudJn

Jim Kerr told me Simple Minds wanted to conjure the ghosts of 1978 without living with them. Old songs resurfaced, Sparks got involved, Charlie Burchill kept hoarding tapes, and Kerr admitted, “We shouldn’t be having this kind of energy at this stage of the game.” www.lpm.org/music/2023-0...

Kevin Bacon approaches singing like acting. “I’m a character actor. The voice is something I always have to find.” The Bacon Brothers told me about cowboy records, regrettable tattoos, growing up inside a gigantic mono speaker, and trying to knock Taylor Swift off #1 with an autoharp.

Weezer finally found their mission statement 20 albums in. “Let’s just work together.” Patrick Wilson and Scott Shriner told me The Gold Album came from ditching the grid, embracing the rough edges, and getting all four guys back in a room together. www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...

Maya Hawke told me she was finally starting to trust herself while making Chaos Angel. The path involved discarded songs, modern mantras, and a childhood session where New York witches replaced her imaginary armor with a golden bubble. Standard record-making stuff. www.lpm.org/music/2024-0...

Maya Hawke planned to make an album about work and ambition. Then she fell in love and made one about letting herself be fully seen. As she told me, Maitreya Corso wants to be “a little guidebook on how to give up and be loved.” www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...

Anthony Michael Hall told me the key to surviving 50 years in Hollywood is being willing to “outlast uncertainty.” Even after The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, and everything since, every finished job still sends an actor back to square one. www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...

From The X-Files and Californication to albums, novels, poetry, and acting opposite his daughter, David Duchovny told me how each form asks for a different kind of writing. His verdict on screenplays was especially blunt. “A bastard of a form.” www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...

Billy Crudup told me he used to park cars and deliver subs in college while listening to nothing but Motown. That musical education eventually followed him into the strange ’50s jukebox of Hello Tomorrow! www.lpm.org/music/2023-0...

Beck told me he didn’t know what “Loser” and Odelay would end up being. Hyperspace came from the same uncertainty, with Pharrell helping him find the essential song inside the big spontaneous mess. www.lpm.org/music/2019-1...

Roddy Bottum had already helped bend rock music out of shape with Faith No More when Imperial Teen became another home for his weirdest instincts. “It’s exciting that weird bands get applauded,” the band told me. “Now they rise to the top.” www.lpm.org/music/2022-0...

Hamish Linklater told me, “We should always be listening, always be looking for the signs.” His way into Lincoln was through the man who put his boots on the desk and cracked jokes when the country was coming apart. www.lpm.org/music/2024-0...

The Band’s Robbie Robertson told me the unity and peace of the ’60s had gone up in flames. Since his passing in 2023, revisiting his warning about hate consuming those old ideals feels especially poignant. www.lpm.org/music/2019-1...

“You might get it perfect, but you’ll lose the humanity.” Ian Paice told me Deep Purple still chased the best live take before repetition polished the life out of it. A fitting rule for a band whose “Long Goodbye” couldn’t quite find the goodbye. www.lpm.org/music/2017-0...

Desi Lydic went from alternate on Eastern High School’s dance team to The Daily Show, with three auditions spread across eight years. Her rule for comedy was simple. “If you’re not humiliating yourself, you’re probably not doing it right.” www.lpm.org/music/2024-0...

Colin Hay told me he’d spent 40 years trying to avoid working “in a straight world,” which made retirement a fairly meaningless concept. He was still chasing his own Rubber Soul. Just don’t ask him to explain Vegemite again. www.lpm.org/music/2017-0...

Ryan Tedder told me he “can’t write gibberish.” Even “1999 heroes” in “I Ain’t Worried” came from calculating the likely birth year of a Top Gun pilot. Some people rhyme. Tedder runs the numbers. www.lpm.org/music/2024-0...

Wendell Berry died this week at 92. Nick Offerman once told me Berry’s fiction spoke to him directly. “Hey dummy, this is you. This is your community. These values matter.” Berry’s lens stayed with him. www.lpm.org/music/2021-1...

Jane Seymour’s English manor hosted the Cure for Wild Mood Swings, which helped lead Radiohead there for OK Computer. Johnny Cash recorded there, too. Her real estate has a better discography than most bands. www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...

Rupert Grint remembered watching the soft spot on his daughter’s head pulsate “in this really weird way.” As he told me, “A baby really is this kind of alien creature.” Excellent preparation for a parenthood horror movie. www.lpm.org/music/2026-0...
