Will anyone be completely embarrassed in the first season of the Home Sweet Home TV show on NBC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Home Sweet Home is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Home Sweet Home here.

An NBC family social experiment series, the Home Sweet Home TV show was created by Ava DuVernay. Episodes pull back the curtain on families from varying backgrounds who lead very different lives. These families learn what it is like to walk a mile in another person’s shoes, challenging racial, religious, economic, geographic, gender, and identity assumptions. Participants exchange homes for a week and experience the lives of those who are unlike them. At the end of each episode, the two families reunite to communicate and share their eye-opening experiences.

What do you think? Which season one episodes of the Home Sweet Home TV series do you rate as wonderful, terrible, or somewhere between? Do you think that Home Sweet Home should be cancelled or renewed for a second season on NBC? Don’t forget to vote, and share your thoughts, below.

Nick Rhodes Looks Back on a Life of Reluctant Rock Stardom

C Reid

October 30, 2021

Nick Rhodes with his 1985 “Interview” Cover.

When the 59-year-old keyboardist, songwriter, and producer appeared on the cover of this magazine in 1985, his band Duran Duran was everywhere, dominating dance-floors with their pioneering synth-pop, and at the vanguard of the MTV revolution that was sweeping the music world. Here, he revisits (and revises) some of the things he said to John Duka back then.

———

“I certainly never feel that glamour is a mistake. I should rectify that immediately. What I was getting at is that many people, particularly early on in our career, were viewing us as being slightly more superficial because we were interested in fashion, design, and cinema. And so, people, particularly the more male-dominated rock media of that time, didn’t take us as seriously, musically speaking.

———

“In that period, when it was the infancy of music videos and more of a blank canvas, we seized the opportunity to try and do something creative. It was easier to find new ideas back then. Now, people tend to rely on technology more, which I’m not against. In fact, our most recent video for a song called ‘Invisible’ was the first video ever made by an A.I. called Huxley.”

———

“Interestingly, because we use Pro Tools to make our records, I see the musical notation in different forms on the screen. It isn’t your standard clefs and bars. I’ve learned how to read that quite well, and it’s been helpful, specifically with things like the Astronomia project that I did during lockdown, which was entirely instrumental. But of course, I use my ear for absolutely everything.”

———

“I still have difficulties with that. I don’t suppose it’s an accusation. I was once called the world’s first metrosexual, which I wasn’t quite sure what to think about at the time, but I took it as a compliment, because if it moved things for men into a more gentle and graceful area, then that’s okay.”

———

“It was gloriously flamboyant and innocent. It was very young people not being afraid to express themselves in different ways, and to fantasize and enjoy the company of other people who were looking to find their way in the world. In the ’90s, they closed the door on the ’80s and threw away the key. In hindsight, it was rather harsh, be- cause the ’80s brought extraordinary things to the arts.”

———

“Some people had different journeys, but I certainly stick by everything I said then, because it’s such a waste of life. I could never do the amount of things that I try to do creatively if I didn’t have a clear head and know which day I was waking up on. I’m not anti-anything. People must always do what they want. But for me, it was something that I tried early on and recognized very quickly that it wasn’t for me.”

———

“The premise remains the same. If we can make people smile or dance, that’s great. It’s as valuable as somebody listening to the lyrics and relating to them on a much more profound level. The new album Future Past certainly has several dance-floor songs, but it also has a lot more introspective, darker lyrics that are about relationships. That’s really what Duran Duran is about. Connecting with people.”

———

“Playing the actual shows is always a real joy. The traveling and scheduling can be quite grueling, but when we do tours now, we try to make them as sensibly scheduled and balanced as possible. Earlier on, the chaos of what we were doing was really intense, and I’m sure that’s what I was referring to. But anybody who’s been on a lengthy tour knows that it’s very disruptive to your life.”

———

“Whilst my opinion is almost the same, it’s definitely softened towards The Boss. It’s still not my thing, but I’d certainly want to say now how much I appreciate him as an artist who has done remarkably well and brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people. No artist who works hard to do that should ever be criticized by another artist, as far as I’m concerned.”

———

“That one has played out. Michael Jackson had an incredible influence over many people and was virtually responsible for the creation of new genres. It’s difficult now, because his work is often overshadowed by the accusations about his private life. And so it’s very hard to keep a fair perspective on him.”

———

“I certainly listened to The Smiths albums a lot more after that point. Morrissey is a controversial character, but he’s a national treasure. We were often referred to as being the polar opposite to The Smiths, but I don’t see it like that. Lyrically, they were coming from a different place, but I feel ironically that a lot of Morrissey’s references were exactly the same as ours.”

———

“I absolutely, 100 percent stick with that statement.”

———

“Many people have stuck with us, but we’ve also picked up several different generations along the way. Now, with the way that people listen to music with streaming services and YouTube, I think it’s become much more mixed, because a 16-year-old kid, instead of only liking the things that are new, might have on their playlists some Duran Duran and some Prince and some hip-hop. It’s a much wider palette.”

———

“The internet has given artists a global platform, but that doesn’t make being heard easy. The internet is populated with an infinite amount of people whose voices want to be heard. Of course, some things rise up. Billie Eilish is a great example. But for every Billie Eilish, there are half-a-million others who couldn’t find their way through. It’s difficult being an artist now. Record labels tend to not take on young talent and develop them over a series of albums. Instead, they’re looking at reality TV and see- ing if they can snare one of the people who have an instant, built-in audience. That’s a real shame because artists still need to be developed and they need time to find what their real voices are.”

C Reid

October 29, 2021

The Hospitality Team Behind Stone Street New York and Bathtub Gin New York Officially Opened Their New West Coast Outpost on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles

Restaurateur and entrepreneur Dave Oz of Stone Street New York and Bathtub Gin New York teams up with Joel David Moore and Laura Parkening to launch LA’s newest all-day dining destination, cocktail bar and coffee lounge, Stone Street LA, now officially open in Melrose Ave’s bustling Arts District as of September 2021.

The venue’s roots stem back to the famed Stone Street Coffee Company roaster in Brooklyn. The first Stone Street café opened in New York in 2010, and has served as a neighborhood staple and functioning front for the famed Bathtub Gin speakeasy for over ten years. In Los Angeles, the concept has been expanded into a hybrid space that offers locals its signature artisanal coffee, as well as a comprehensive menu featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner, top-notch cocktails at their beautiful and welcoming bar, and a weekend brunch on their sprawling garden patio. Staying true to the brand’s New York roots while adapting to its new LA home, the menu features delicious items with fun twists paying homage to New York City.

The doors of Stone Street LA are open to all, a local java shop, all-day cafe and watering hole with a vibe that fits right into the neighborhood. With its robust entertainment offering, this is a place for creatives to meet in a casual yet inspiring and friendly setting, in a venue that offers just as much ambiance during the day as it does at night. Evening programming includes a weekly comedy night (Prohibition Comedy on Wednesdays), live music (Thursday nights), DJ programming, and a Sunday Disco brunch.

Hours of operation: M/T 8am-3pm | W/Th/Fr 8am – 11pm | Sat 9am – 11pm | Sun 9am – 3pm

“We are excited to bring the Stone Street name and brand to Los Angeles and create a neighborhood establishment to help further bring back life to the Melrose area post-pandemic. We pride ourselves on our dynamic ambiance and welcoming atmosphere, paired with great coffee, food, cocktails, music and programming. This is a place for coffee, for cocktails, for community, a neighborhood café and bar where everyone is welcome. Where the food is exceptional and there is something for all patrons to enjoy. Where live entertainment is part of the culture, and you can catch the best new talent in town. Where New York attitude meets LA energy, and the best of both worlds unite.” – Restaurateur Dave Oz, Co-owner

NYC-INSPIRED CUISINE WITH LA FLAIR

Created by Chef John Sheffy, the all-day food menu features prominent New American-inspired cuisine with a large selection of homemade pastries and New York staple dishes with a creative twist. Classic items are made flavorful through a delicate marriage of ingredients. New York staples such as the Bagel and Lox and Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Roll are imbued by a fresh LA touch, while the local community is embraced through unique dishes such as Challah French Toast and Roasted Mary’s Chicken. This is a menu where there is something for everyone, where New York heritage and global inspiration connect. Where classics are made perfect, and simple things surpass expectations.

THE COFFEE – BROOKLYN’S FINEST BEANS

With a heritage that ties back to the acclaimed Stone Street Coffee Company roaster, excellent coffee is part of the venue’s DNA. It all starts with their beans, which are ethically sourced from countries all over the world (earning them Organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Association certifications) and roasted in small batches at the Stone Street Coffee Company roaster in Brooklyn. Here in Los Angeles, they use their diverse roasts and blends to create an assortment of delicious coffee drinks, fit for any palette. For the ultimate taste test, just try their Knee Buckling Espresso.

THE COCKTAILS – CLASSIC COCKTAILS WITH A BICOASTAL TWIST

Created by award-winning Beverage Consultant Brendan Bartley, Stone Street LA’s selection of craft cocktails allows you to experience classic recipes through new and unique flavor pairings. They work extensively behind the scenes to master both balance and flavor, allowing for a low waste process and efficient service. On tap, frozen, bottled or by the glass, with standout names such as Californication and Harlem Rose, their cocktails encompass the best of both coasts.

“Stone Street LA is committed to providing warm, genuine and unpretentious hospitality as we serve unique menu offerings for all things coffee, cocktails and culinary. Our skilled baristas honor both classic espresso beverages like cafe lattes and flat whites, as well as new coffee trends like matcha lattes and espresso tonics. Our food menu provides a little something for everyone. With a nod to NY classics like the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on a Roll, to LA favorites like Avocado Toast and popular brunch offerings like our Prosciutto Tart and Challah French Toast, we aim to surprise and delight. Stone Street’s innovative bar program offers a mix of frozen, on tap and bottled cocktails, demonstrating a molecular approach to locally inspired ingredients in a near zero-waste environment. Regardless of time of day or night, Stone Street LA is a landing place for all, one-stop-shop with something for everyone to enjoy.” – Laura Parkening, Co-owner

THE ENTERTAINMENT – WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS COMMUNITY

A local cafe and bar where you know the staff and patrons. A neighborhood hub with discovery at its core. Stone Street LA pays homage to classic coffeehouse culture by removing the barriers between performer and audience, allowing for an authentic type of creativity. Stop by for an intimate live music show. Discover stand-up’s latest star. Rock out at Sunday Disco Bunch. This is where life happens and memories are made.

“From the beginning of our partnership with Dave Oz, we knew Bathtub Gin and Stone Street were a perfect match for a move out west. Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world, and what better to bring an energetic, authentic East Coast vibe to the marketplace. Our unique venue provides a multi-use space that can act as a cafe/bar any day of the week, while giving the freedom for us to host a range of events. From our weekly stand-up comedy, live music, DJ-hosted Sunday brunches, to private events from premiere parties to birthday bashes, we’ve curated a hybrid space that can be modeled for many different occasions.” – Joel David Moore, Co-owner

THE SPACE – BROOKLYN INSPIRATION IN AN LA LANDSCAPE

Stone Street LA is a light-filled space that seamlessly fuses its New York heritage with the vibrant energy of Los Angeles. It’s Brooklyn origins are celebrated through warehouse elements such as unfinished ceilings and a window mural of the Brooklyn Bridge. Two signature interior murals pay homage to the iconic New York street after which it’s named. Bar seating allows for a dynamic dining experience, while floor-to-ceiling windows give the space an indoor-outdoor feel. In addition to abundant street side seating, Stone Street LA offers a sprawling 1500-square foot back patio with lounge seating and lush greenery. From intimate drinks to group events and gatherings, this is a space that imbues versatility.

New Artist Spotlight: Sines Documents ‘A Series of Moments’ With a New Album

C Reid

October 29, 2021

Jason Wann isn’t exactly a new artist, especially around his hometown of Portland where he’s been creating interesting, synth-based music under a number of monikers and is active as a DJ in the local scene. Clearly well-versed in the ways of the synths, Wann’s work is heady, emotive and laced with classic 80s dancefloor style. His latest project, Sines, was invented specifically to marry his synth-heavy house and techno style with female vocals and blur the lines between EDM and pop. With his new album A Series of Moments, released earlier this month, he’s done just that.

Presumably named after the sine wave synth work that is prolific throughout all his releases, Wann’s new Sines project started in January last year with a self-titled debut LP and followed up quickly with another album, Dancing in Place, in May of the same year. With lashings of Kaskade, ODESZA and fellow Portlanders Washed Out, Sines and Dancing… had tight, clean sound design and more than a little throwback cachet in both the synths and the vox. Conjuring images of Madonna dancing in Desperately Seeking Susan and basically the whole soundtrack of The Breakfast Club, Wann as Sines declared his intention to bring the new new wave in dance music.

The inspiration for this record came from my experiences dancing in nightclubs in my early youth and the magic I feel when I hear a kick ass dance record. I wanted to make a record inspired by those sweaty hedonistic nights and something that was classic in a way…I wanted to write something insanely catchy like a pop song but that also came from a culture of dance music and that paid respect to proper dance music going all the way back to disco.

Mission accomplished, if Wann’s work on Sines so far is anything to go by. Of course both writing dance songs like pop songs and throwback 80s synth vibes aren’t exactly a new concept, but both the level of commitment and the attention to detail are unique to Sines. He dug even deeper for A Series of Moments, pulling from real OG influences like Kraftwerk, Donna Summer and Blondie to really dial in the emotion. with the diverse vocalists on this album, what resulted was an even stronger nod to the emotive, minor key-driven and post punk-tinged sounds of new wave but with updated techniques and more attention to what EDM sounds like now. An excellent blend of new and vintage, pop and electronica with no compromise on sound quality or feeling.

Wann began teasing A Series of Moments in June with its lead track, “Something in the Way.” Vox on this one are by Kitty Richardson, who more than understood the assignment, adds even more 80s indie design. Richardson’s operatic, Kate Bush-like vocals make the track so much richer and deeper. Apparently on top of his synth talents, Wann also knows how to pick his female vocalists.

Conversely, a vocalist like Emily Coomber has a deeper and more definitively new wave sound to Richardson’s, sounding a bit like Susan Ann Sulley from The Human League. Wann matched her to “Under the Waves,” which may remind other old school indie pop lovers of The Cure’s “Plainsong.” The partnering with multiple vocalists allows Wann to be even more diverse in his composition. From Bellabeth’s bell-clear timbre driving the more modern “Run Underground” to Christina Siravo’s full range funk pairing on “Mr. Ciao” and back to Richardson’s heart-rending performance in album closer “Iva,” the collabs in A Series of Moments bring out the best in both the vocalists and the producer.

Artists like Wann who want to keep the sounds of early dance music alive are important, especially as the EDM pop juggernaut goes through its more lackluster phases. With more than 50 years of history, there are scores of influences to pull from now to make something new. Despite his obvious technical prowess, it’s clear that Wann as Sines is more about conjuring those early dancefloor feelings than anything, and by teaming up with the varied and talented vocalists, he’s shown through A Series of Moments just how strong that feeling can be.

A Series of Moments is out now and can be streamed on Spotify or Bandcamp, where it can also be purchased. Check out Wann’s YouTube channel for more music videos from this album and others. Wann’s also released an interesting “Theatrical Cut” of ASOM on Vimeo.
