Last updated on: December 24, 2011 at 5:47 pm By Lilit Marcus

Jared Leto, who will always always always be Jordan Catalano to this child of the 90s, has mostly given up acting to be a rock star in his band 30 Seconds to Mars. 30STM, as they’re known, has developed a hugely loyal fan base. In a New York magazine profile, Leto says “People form bonds at a church, at a bar, at work. It happens in Scientology, it happen in Catholicism, and it happens with us.” Read more

‘Chanukah in Santa Monica’ Is a Great Addition to the Hanukkah Music Canon

Last updated on: December 21, 2011 at 11:34 am By Lilit Marcus

This video of the Los Angeles Gay Men’s Chorus performing a Hanukkah/Chanukah/Jewmas song is too cute for words. Is anyone else flashing back to the episode of Will and Grace where Matt Damon‘s character pretends to be gay so he can sing in the gay men’s choir? Read more

David Archuleta Taking a Break from Music to Go on Mission Trip

Last updated on: December 20, 2011 at 2:12 pm By Lilit Marcus

Most celebrities try to strike while the iron is hot, making as much money and promoting their career as much as they can while they’re popular. But David Archuleta has his mind on other things–the singer and devout member of the LDS church is going on his two year mission trip. While other Mormon celebrities, like Jon Heder and Aaron Eckhart, did their missions, it was before they became famous. The singer David gets compared to the most, Donny Osmond,... Read more

Florence, The Machine, Faith, and Me (Part 2)

Last updated on: December 20, 2011 at 12:13 pm By Lilit Marcus

This is the conclusion of yesterday’s guest post by Jessica Misener, which you can read here. Welch’s brand of majestic tribal-pop “secular gospel,” or what Tom Ewing refers to as “Big Music” in his recent and excellent look at post-U2 stadium rock for Pitchfork, has so many parallels to evangelical worship music. Take for example the track “Spectrum” on Ceremonials, with its language of deliverance (“and we will never be afraid again”); its soaring chorus and hushed middle eight; the... Read more

There Is a Jewish Kardashian Now, You Guys

Last updated on: December 19, 2011 at 7:20 pm By Lilit Marcus

Well, sort of. It’s Scott “Patrick Bateman” Disick, boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian and dad to Mason. On last night’s episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, he decided that he wanted to reconnect with his Jewish upbringing and teach his son about the religion. Though it might just be another scripted plotline for the show (especially since the just-before-Hanukkah airing was auspicious), watching Scott attempt to relearn about Judaism is about twelve thousand times more interesting than watching Kim...
