Love Reinvented: Alison Goldfrapp is back with debut solo album

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

Love Reinvented: London-based electro-synth-pop duo Goldfrapp formed way back in 1999, released the Felt Mountain debut album a year later, the Black Cherry breakthrough in 2003, and never looked back.Composed of the impossibly charismatic Alison Goldfrapp and former Tears for Fears/the Cure/Peter Gabriel/Portishead touring member Will Gregory, Goldfrapp oozed cool from Day One, while making it their business to push boundaries and blur genres. Influences ranging from cabaret to glam rock found their way into Goldfrapp’s stylish sound, and singles such as “Ooh LaLa” from 2005’s awesome Supernature took them up another level.2017’s Silver Eye was Goldfrapp’s seventh album, and it’s currently their most recent. After taking some time away, some of it by choice and some down to the pandemic, Alison has returned with her debut solo album. We should point out, incidentally, that Alison Goldfrapp is her birth name – the band was named after her rather than the other way around (unlike, sa...

California judge must reconsider effort to block Catholic diocese libel suit, appellate court rules

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

A trial court must reconsider its denial of a motion to block a libel suit stemming from an email allegedly containing a false insinuation that Diocese of Orange Bishop Kevin Vann used Orange Catholic Foundation funds to cover legal expenses for clergy accused of child sex abuse, a state appellate court has ruled.Suzanne Nunn, former interim executive director of the foundation, sent the email to 47 Catholic leaders throughout the country after Vann unilaterally terminated her and the organization’s board of directors in June 2020.In the three-page email that bore the subject line, “You can’t make this stuff up,” Nunn asked a series of rhetorical questions regarding her firing and that of the board.“Is this considered a hostile take-over to distribute funds the diocese needs to cover debt? Lawsuits?”  she asked, according to the appellate court. “Is this an overstep of authority? Is this the result of fatigue from the economic impact of the COVID crisis in addition to other financia...

Americans insist on 300 miles of EV range. They’re right

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

By Tom Randall | BloombergAmericans love a good road trip. There’s nothing better than packing up your stuff, turning up the music, and just — driving. For more than a century, summertime dreams have been fueled by the limitless possibilities of a full tank of gas.That same “live free or die” mentality has also made the US, until recently, slower to adopt electric cars. The open road is freedom, and the need to frequently stop and charge an intrusion. Last year, plug-in vehicles made up less than 8% of new-car sales in the US — far behind Europe’s 32% EV adoption rate and China’s 30% uptake.These places got a head start in part by embracing tiny EVs with small batteries and limited range. By contrast, a survey conducted last year by Bloomberg Green found that fewer than 10% of US respondents would settle for anything less than 200 miles of range. More recent number-crunching on ranges for EVs sold in the US found that:Americans are demanding the longest ranges in the world, roughly ...

California reparations task force to recommend ‘down payments’ for slavery, racism 

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

The California Reparations Task Force published documents this week indicating it plans to recommend the state apologize for racism and slavery, and consider “down payments” of varying amounts to eligible African American residents.The documents, numbering more than 500 pages, do not contain an overall price tag for reparations, but they do include ways the state could calculate how much money African Americans in California have lost since the state was established in 1950 because of certain government practices.The loss calculations would vary depending on type of racial harm and how long a person has lived in California. The loss estimates range from $2,300 per person per year of residence for the over-policing of Black communities to $77,000 total per person for Black-owned business losses and devaluations over the years.The state-appointed task force faces a July 1 deadline to make reparations recommendations to the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Task force leaders have sai...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

The caught-on-video chokehold death of a homeless, mentally-ill Michael Jackson impersonator by a former U.S. Marine aboard a Manhattan subway train was ruled a homicide on Wednesday as anger and protests erupted over the killing.The city Medical Examiner found the cause of victim Jordan Neely’s Monday death was compression of the neck. The finding is a critical piece of the investigation as police said they were awaiting the results of the autopsy before determining if criminal charges should be filed.The determination came after friends and elected officials expressed outrage over the death, insisting the homeless busker didn’t deserve to die. Neely, 30, was a familiar sight around town, performing in Times Square and on subways as the King of Pop.“NYC is not Gotham,” city Comptroller Brad Lander tweeted. “We must not become a city where a mentally ill human being can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequence.”At least three people were cuffed following a demonstration...

Golden Gate Park becomes a wild Wonderland in immersive ‘Alice’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:06:32 GMT

Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” books are a perfect match for We Players.The San Francisco troupe specializes in site-specific theater that usually involves a lot of walking from place to place in parks and other picturesque settings. Along the way the audience encounters larger-than-life characters enacting familiar scenes, often adapted from Shakespeare or ancient epics.Carroll’s novels “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass” similarly take their titular heroine on a tangled journey stumbling into all kinds of strange wonders.In We Players’ “Adventures with Alice,” adapted and directed by founding artistic director Ava Roy, we follow Alice through the verdant lands of Golden Gate Park into one bizarre encounter after another. (Another run is planned for late September in Saratoga.)Our Alice is Regina Léon, brimming with youthful enthusiasm and understandable befuddlement. She makes a perfect point person for all the tomfoolery, with indefatigable curiosity and e...
