For many years, Taja Cheek lived two lives. As L’Rain, she made acclaimed music that was warm yet weird, steeped in exhilarating experimentation and heavy emotions. At the same time, she was navigating the art world, working at New York non-profit institutions like Creative Time and the Kitchen; she eventually landed at MoMA PS1, where she helped curate performance series like the Warm Up parties and Sunday Sessions. Cheek did her best all along to keep these two career paths separate. She worried one might be seen as a mark...

L’Rain’s Taja Cheek keeps everything she records: a voice note she made a couple days ago, a demo she recorded back in high school, it doesn’t matter. It could be mediocre, mortifying, or just kind of good; regardless, it’s saved somewhere — because one day, it might be brilliant. “I try to operate under the philosophy that there actually aren’t any bad ideas,” Cheek tells Rolling Stone, “just bad executions.”

The versatile Brooklyn artist L’Rain is back with a new song, “Pet Rock,” which will appear on her next album, I Killed Your Dog, out Oct. 13 via Mexican Summer.
“Pet Rock” is a hazy bit of alt-rock filled with bright twisting guitars and L’Rain’s serene, fuzzed-out vocals. The vibe is bright, the riffs are crunchy, but something eerie lurks beneath the song. As L’Rain’s Taja Cheek explained in a statement, “The song is based around an old story I’d been told about a woman who...

The girlfriend of singer Darius Campbell Danesh has revealed more sad details about the sudden death of the British singer in August 2022.
Lauren Cheek told the UK’s Sun newspaper that her late partner was suffering from a heart condition that was unknown until his autopsy was conducted.
She told the paper: “So many things could have taken him, but this [heart condition] did, and he died in his sleep.
“His mum told me they only found out [about the undiagnosed condition] after they did the autopsy. His heart was twice the size it was supposed to be, which was fitting, because that is genuinely how he was — he had so much love.”
In addition, Campbell Danesh was suffering from a longterm broken neck following a car accident that had left him in agonising pain. In 2010, Campbell Danesh was a passenger in a Porsche when it hit a wall at 70 mph after skidding on oil during a holiday in Spain.

Celebrated Brooklyn artist L’Rain has returned with her first new song in two years, “New Year’s UnResolution.”
Produced alongside Andrew Lapin and Ben Chapoteau-Katz, “New Year’s UnResolution” feels anchored by a freewheeling pop sensibility. The groove is brisk and bright, the synths as warm as the vocals, but still, “New Year’s UnResolution” doesn’t sacrifice any of the surreal, experimental flourishes that have defined L’Rain’s work.

“Dances With Wolves” actor Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, also known as Nathan Chasing Horse, was ordered held without bail until his next hearing by a Nevada judge Thursday.
The former actor, age 46, has been accused of sex trafficking, sexual assault against a child younger than 16 and child abuse while allegedly leading a cult. He was arrested on Tuesday afternoon near the North Las Vegas home which he shares with his five wives.
Best known for his role as Sioux tribe member Smiles a Lot in Kevin Costner’s Oscar-winning blockbuster “Dances with Wolves,” Chasing Horse was born in on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. He followed up that role with parts in “The Broken Chain,” “Into the West” and “Dreamkeeper.”

Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, the Cinequest Film Festival has merged film and technology for two decades. The event was an early adopter of digital capture and exhibition as well as distribution across all platforms from the big screen to DVD to TV to the Internet to handheld devices.
The tradition continues in the festival’s 21st edition with a program that includes 3-D programming and panels, including the world premiere of the stereo version of “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” two 3-D shorts programs and seminars on the art and science of stereo filmmaking.
Meanwhile, Cinequest is screening 173 films this year from 41 countries — 75 of which are U.S., North American or world premieres. Audiences are expected to near 100,000, with more than 700 artists slated to attend.
This evening’s opening-night film is “Passione,” John Turturro’s musical love poem to the city of Naples.
