Pop star Lydia Night on leaving The Regrettes and going solo: ‘I wanted to walk away rather than flog a dead horse’

Or you do your early adulthood right and live fast and make mistakes. It’s the founding ethos of rock’n’roll and the preferred route of The Regrettes frontwoman turned solo pop artist Lydia Night. “As an artist, I feel like it’s so easily excused to be messy, especially romantically – but only if you write about it,” she says. “It’s making these decisions for art versus for long-term success in life and happiness. And I still don’t know where the line is.” That line is being increasingly scrambled in today’s chaotic mainstream pop space, whether it’s Charli XCX’s visceral party anthems, Chappell Roan’s queer messiness or Sabrina Carpenter’s devilishly coy sexual provocations. Rarely does it come from a performer who has …

Stellar flares may hamper search for life in promising star system

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] Illustration of TRAPPIST-1, a red-dwarf star with at least seven orbiting planets Mark Garlick/Alamy The search for atmospheres around the TRAPPIST-1 star system, one of the most promising locations for life elsewhere in the galaxy, might be even more difficult than astronomers first thought because of short-lived radiation blasts from the star. TRAPPIST-1, first discovered in 2016, is a small red dwarf star about 40 light years from Earth with at least seven planets orbiting it. It is a prime target for astronomers hoping to detect extraterrestrial life because several of its planets appear to sit in a habitable zone where temperatures are just right for liquid water. But in order to support life, those planets would have to retain atmospheres. So far, extensive observations with the James Webb Space Telescope have failed to find evidence of atmospheres on any of the planets. Now, Julien de Wit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his colleagues have detected microflares coming from the TRAPPIST-1 star every hour or so that last for several minutes. These …

Downton Abbey star Phyllis Logan admits it’s “daunting” playing lead in Murder Most Puzzling

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] The three-part series is an adaptation of the Puzzle Lady Mysteries books by late American author Parnell Hall – with the 69-year-old as the eccentric and often not politically correct main character. Logan has revealed she was a little apprehensive about playing the lead role but that her excitement about the part proved too strong. She explained: “I read the script, and then I got my husband to read it too – I always like to get his opinion. He commented on how great the script was and what a wonderful part Cora is, and I felt the same. So I met up with the director, Tom (Dalton), who came up to Scotland to see me. “I did tell him I was a little bit trepidatious because I knew the workload was going to be extraordinary – Cora has so much to do and so many lines. But eventually I had a talk to myself and said, “We can do this!”. I said yes and off we went…” Cora Felton (Phyllis Logan) with her …
