Lukas Haas Gets Real About Hollywood, Child Fame & Spider-Noir What's it really like to grow up in Hollywood, become a star as a kid, and still keep evolving as an artist decades later? In this episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with Lukas Haas for a candid, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about his upcoming role in Spider-Noir, the pressure of self-tape auditions, playing darker characters, and what it takes to survive a lifetime in the entertainment industry. Lukas opens up about landing Spider-Noir, stepping into a stylized noir comic-book world, and why filming in both black-and-white and color gave the project such a unique feel. He also talks about the freedom of playing a villain, the art of instinctive acting, and how costumes, tone, and physicality all help shape a memorable performance. But this episode goes far beyond one role. Keith and Lukas also dive into Lukas's early rise as a child actor, learning lines before he fully knew how to read, working through the highs and lows of a long Hollywood career, and the reality of constantly reinventing yourself as you grow older in the industry. They also talk about Mars Attacks!, creative burnout, rewriting dialogue, difficult personalities in Hollywood, and Lukas's passion for music including his upcoming release of "Ramblin' Man." If you love Hollywood stories, acting insights, behind-the-scenes film talk, child star journeys, and honest conversations with real artists, this is one of the most revealing Reza Rifts episodes yet. Guest Bio Lukas Haas is an actor and musician whose career began in childhood and has spanned decades across film and television. In this conversation, Keith references credits including Witness, Lady in White, The Wizard of Loneliness, Mars Attacks!, and Inception. Lukas also discusses his role in the upcoming series Spider-Noir, where he plays the right-hand man to Brendan Gleeson's character, as well as his passion for writing and recording music.

June -3-26th Cleveland OH The Mekons at The Music Box Supper Club Tickets here mekons-june3 About Jon: Jon Langford born October 11, 1957, Newport, Monmouthshire is a Welsh-born musician and artist who is presently based in Chicago. He is the younger brother of science-fiction author and critic David Langford Langford was originally the drummer for the punk band The Mekons when it formed at the University of Leeds in 1977, but he later took up the guitar as other band members left. Since the mid-1980s he has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock. He has released a number of solo recordings as well as recordings with other bands outside of The Mekons, most notably the Waco Brothers, which he co-founded after moving to Chicago in the early 1990s. He is involved with the Chicago-based >independent record label >Bloodshot. Langford is also a prolific and respected visual artist best known for his striking portraits of country music icons including Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. His multimedia music/spoken-word/video performance, “The Executioner's Last Songs,” premiered at Alverno College in 2005, and has been performed in several other cities. He illustrated the comic strip Great Pop Things under the pseudonym Chuck Death. Since 2005 he has co-hosted a weekly radio program, “The Eclectic Company,” broadcast on WXRT 93.1 FM in Chicago. He has contributed to This American Life. Among Langford's musical side projects have been the Three Johns (with John Hyatt and John (Phillip) Brennan), who released several albums of drum-machine-fueled punk in the 1980s; the country-punk Waco Brothers (with Dean Schlabowske, Tracey Dear, Alan Doughty, Mark Durante, and Mekons drummer Steve Goulding), who have been recording since 1995; the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, a revolving assortment of Chicago musicians who have backed both Langford and other musicians such as Kelly Hogan; and Ship and Pilot. He became a father figure to the local music scene, encouraging many of his labelmates on Bloodshot Records and championing anyone he thought worthy of scrutiny, often lending his services as a musician or visual artist or inviting local musicians to guest on his releases. Langford's first official solo album, Skull Orchard, a look back at his hometown of Newport, Wales, was released in 1998. He followed it with All the Fame of Lofty Deeds, in 2004, Gold Brick in 2006, and Old Devils in 2010. Langford is an accomplished artist and is renowned for his multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures from the dawn of country music. Nashville Radio, a collection of his artwork and writings, was published in 2006. In January and February 2009, Chicago's Walkabout Theater Company and Collaboraction premiered a stage adaptation of Langford's Goldbrick that featured a live band, two actors and video projections. In November and December 2009, The House Theatre of Chicago staged a production of “All the Fame of Lofty Deeds”, written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and based on Langford's art and 2004 solo album. Collaborations with other musicians Langford initiated a project, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, which performs the music of other country music groups. Several alternative country musicians have guested on these recordings. Langford has guested on numerous recordings, including with Dutch punk band the Ex, The Old 97s, Chip Taylor, as well as Austin, Texas legend Alejandro Escovedo, and has recorded joint albums with Sally Timms, Kevin Coyne, Richard Buckner, Kat Ex and Rosie Flores.

After 40 years together, the Southern California roots band Marley's Ghost shows no signs of slowing down — and their latest album proves it. Honky Tonk is a deep dive into the music that shaped them, featuring songs from Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, and other giants of country music, recorded live in the studio with producer Larry Campbell. It's an album that smirks and stomps, carrying the weight of a lifetime spent in smoky bars and on stages across the country. Dan Wheetman, vocalist and founding member, sat down to talk about what it means to really live inside a song, how four decades of friendship shapes a band's sound, and why an older voice is sometimes exactly what a honky tonk tune needs.

We caught up with Lee Newton, who called in from “North Caro-lacky,” as she called it! Lee is awoman who was born to sing and love doing it! We talked about her many ventures including a new album coming out soon!! Nashville Recording Artist and Singer/Songwriter Lee Newton comes from humble beginnings in a small town in Western North Carolina. Growing up, she experienced her share of hard times, but music was always a source of hope. At just five years old, Lee began singing in church alongside her mother. Her love for music blossomed when her father, a local cab driver, filled their home with the sounds of Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Patsy Cline. At seven, he placed a guitar in her hands, teaching her to play as they sang together while he drove his taxi on calls. Lee is in the studio recording her fifth studio album, alongside producer Bill Mcdermott. The first single, “The Long Goodbye,” was released September 13, 2025. The full album has an anticipated release in 2026, continuing Lee's trademark blend of raw emotion, soulful delivery, and timelessstorytelling. With a voice as authentic as her story—and a heart devoted to faith, family, and community—Lee Newton continues to carve her place in country music, bringing her daddy's dream of the Grand Ole Opry closer with every song.

Lou, Jesse, and Karen review The Expanse Season 2, Episode 10 "Cascade," calling it another dense, solid episode with key storylines on Earth and Ganymede plus a brief Alex scene. On Earth, they discuss Errinwright confessing to Chrisjen, her insisting he face consequences, and Cotyar's line about working for the "good guys," along with the power dynamics and whether Errinwright is rationalizing his motives. They cover Bobbie's escape, her eye-opening journey through Earth's poverty, meeting an off-med "doctor," and her beach conversation with Chrisjen before Mars retrieves her. They also highlight Alex alone on the ship in low gravity with Hank Williams playing before learning Ganymede is locked down. On Ganymede, they examine the station's failing ecosystem, Prax and Amos forcing information from a profiteering trader, Naomi's warning about crossing moral lines, and the chilling idea that Ganymede is "dead" without realizing it.

Los Angeles, California's J MAU & THE KISS OFF emerge from what they lovingly call their “beloved hellhole” with their debut single “Poison,” out March 25. Founded in 2025 by Justin “J Mau” Maurer, longtime punk lifer and founder of Clorox Girls, Suspect Parts, L.A. Drugz, and Maniac, the project finds Maurer turning toward something darker and dustier without losing the bite that's always defined him. “Poison” is a cinematic honky tonk murder ballad filtered through decades of West Coast punk history. It's the first glimpse of a songwriter who's always followed the feeling, even when it led somewhere uncomfortable. Maurer's story isn't mythology. It's messy and real. A CODA raised between Los Angeles and Bainbridge Island by a single Deaf mother, American Sign Language was his first language. Punk became his second. After surviving a turbulent childhood and helping put his abusive father in jail as a teenager, Maurer found autonomy in the underground. By fifteen he was booking shows and touring. By twenty he was releasing records and circling the globe with Clorox Girls. Along the way he built a parallel career as one of the country's most respected ASL interpreters, working alongside prominent political figures like Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden, stage interpreting for punk legends like Alice Bag and The Avengers, interpreting Deaf actor Troy Kotsur's historic 2022 Academy Award acceptance speech, and appearing with Kotsur on Curb Your Enthusiasm. His life has always moved between worlds. After stints living in Madrid, London, and Baja California, and in the wake of a divorce that leveled him, Maurer found himself flat on his back in an East Hollywood apartment, cowboy boots still on, old country records spinning. Hank Williams. Buck Owens. Merle Haggard. Gram Parsons. Kris Kristofferson. Townes Van Zandt. He finally understood it. “Real country music is poetry,” Maurer says. “It's about failure, heartbreak, and the tragic human condition. Music to laugh and cry and live and die by.” That rock-bottom clarity led him to write “Poison.” Recorded at Savannah Studios in Boyle Heights with Ignacio “Iggy” Gonzalez and backed by Patrick “Butterworth” Vasquez and Kevin “Quake” Milner, the track moves like a slow-burning reckoning. Acoustic strum, restrained rhythm, and a haunted vocal that feels equal parts confession and warning. From his window in Pico Union, Maurer could hear children playing at the elementary school across the street. Listening to old country compilations full of doomed protagonists, he imagined himself as a man on the run whose days were numbered, watching that schoolyard and knowing he might never see it again. That's where the line came from: “When will you see the children play / You never will again.” The refrain doesn't comfort you. It circles back like a hard truth you can't shake: “It's got a way / That poison's got a way / It's got a say / It's got the final say.” The single arrives with an 8mm-shot video co-directed by Maurer's former MANIAC bandmate Zache Davis and Marta Ribate Gracia-Davis. Grainy, sun-bleached, and edited with a careful hand, it plays like a spaghetti western fever dream, a corrido where the protagonist must confront how he'll be remembered before the end comes calling. The artwork, designed by longtime collaborator Matthew “Snake” Davis, leans into vintage flash tattoo skulls and silent-film menace.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Michael Graves, a five-time Grammy-winning mastering engineer and the founder of Osiris Studio in Los Angeles.Michael's work is restoration as archaeology—pulling performances off deteriorating tapes, damaged acetates, and obsolete formats, then deciding how much intervention is too much.

His most recent Grammy came in 2024 for Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos.The deeper question his work raises is curatorial: where does restoration end and revisionism begin? What gets rescued, and what stays buried?—Dig Deeper• Michael Graves and Osiris Studio:Visit Michael Graves at osirisstudio.com and follow Osiris Studio on InstagramMichael Graves — Osiris Studio: AboutMichael Graves (sound engineer) — Wikipedia• Key Projects Discussed:Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos — 7-CD box set on Craft Recordings (2023), Grammy Award for Best Historical Album (2024)Blondie: Against the Odds: 1974–1982 — box set via Numero Group and UMe (2022)Chris Bell: I Am the Cosmos — definitive reissue on Omnivore Recordings (2017)Chris Bell: The Complete Chris Bell — 6-LP box set, Omnivore Recordings (2017)• Labels:Omnivore RecordingsNumero GroupDust-to-DigitalAnalog AfricaCraft RecordingsRhino Records• Artists and People Referenced:Chris Bell — Big Star co-founder; I Am the Cosmos recorded in the mid-1970sBig Star — Memphis power pop band co-founded by Chris Bell and Alex ChiltonGeoff Emerick — engineer and producer; produced and recorded Chris Bell's post-Big Star sessionsEddie Floyd — Stax recording artist and songwriter; known for "Knock on Wood"Johnny Mercer — American lyricist, songwriter, and Capitol Records co-founder; his archive is held at Georgia State UniversityLeonard Cohen — Canadian singer-songwriter; Graves worked on his personal archive• Institutional Archives and Collections:Johnny Mercer Collection — Georgia State UniversityAlan Lomax and George Pullen Jackson Collection of Sacred Harp Music (1942) — Library of CongressSacred Harp singing — WikipediaStax Records — WikipediaStax Museum of American Soul Music• Professional Organizations:The Recording AcademyAssociation for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC)Audio Engineering Society (AES)The Dust-to-Digital Foundation (Graves is a board member and technical advisor)• Other References:Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) — audiophile reissue label referenced in the source tape discussionThe Sacred Harp Publishing CompanyGrammy Award for Best Historical Album—Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com—• Did you enjoy this episode?

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening.

It’s a yeehaw fever dream. Casey and Kevin dive into the mulleted monster hit that made Billy Ray Cyrus a country-pop icon and, eventually, Miley’s dad. Is it Wham! with twang? Is it Elvis with white Reeboks? Yes. Also: George Michael, Hank Williams, Jar Jar Binks, and how this boot-scootin’ banger somehow walked so “Old Town Road” could gallop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The term honky tonk has two meanings - it can be a tavern or club in the South which is comfortable for the common working man, a bit like a pub in the UK. It also describes the style of music played on the jukebox or by live bands. This week and next we'll hear classic and contemporary honky tonk artists and music including Don Rich, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Val Mindel and Emily Miller, and lots more.

Hank Williams defined the genre we now call country with a guitar in one hand and a bottle of booze in the other. In between stints in the local drunk tank, he cultivated a knack for blue-collar blues that would spread far beyond the backwoods South Hank called home. His self-proclaimed “hillbilly music” logged him more than 30 hit songs and membership at the Grand Ole Opry, fulfilling Hank's lifelong dream. But his frequent bouts with the bottle would ultimately strip him of that membership, sending him from the Ryman Auditorium to the sanatorium – and ultimately, an early grave.

Beloved Australian songwriter Paul Kelly has just turned 70 – “it sounds Biblical, threescore years and ten.” He looks back here at the road he took to get there, from early days in Adelaide to the pub circuit to his catalogueof stirring and eloquent songs about the big issues of life and love, as Neil Finn says, “with not a trace of pretence or fakery”. You'll find … … the moment he felt he'd arrived … the story of How To Make Gravy – “a Christmas song with no chorus about a man in prison” – and Rita Wrote A Letter, its ghostly sequel … early records he loved – Tommy Roe, Peter Paul & Mary, Yes, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, the “chaotic” Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong … life on the Melbourne pub circuit playing Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Hank Williams … touring with Leonard Cohen – “a masterclass in performance, like a prayer, a ritual, like a Vaudevillian Rabbi” .. the storytelling songs of the Stanley Brothers, the Louvin Brothers and Buck Owens ... the great Calypso cricket tradition and the track he wrote about Shane Warne … “the odd-sock drawer”: the file in his computer where he stores early sketches … I'm In Love With A Blue Frog, the five chords that underpinned 50 years of songwriting! … the intricacy of Neil Finn's impressionistic lyrics … and the things you hear in your songs when someone else sings them.

We'll also talk about Don's work with Special Consensus over the years.

Frizz and Bob are cracking open the crypt of music's strangest rumors, shadowy whispers, and full-blown tinfoil-hat territory. Frizz is sipping Ardbeg's Wee Beastie, Bob's got a Dark Apparition Stout from Jackie O's, and we're diving headfirst into the world of music conspiracy theories. From lizard people and faked deaths to government psyops and murder plots hiding in plain sight, we're peeling back the layers of the weirdest stories the music world has to offer. Did Jim Morrison escape to Africa? Was Laurel Canyon a CIA experiment? Does Garth Brooks have friends in low places? Stories so creepy that even Stephen King couldn't have written them... or did he? Lock the doors, dim the lights, and pour a strong one because things are about to get weird.
