My (last) First Show

This week marks the final edition of My First Show. After two years, it's been put in the attic. For this one, Matt Pond and I had an early morning interview (for a musician's schedule), but I think we had a good chat.

I've always enjoyed talking to people about how they got into music. I will continue to do so, because I think it's a fascinating point of discussion. We all start somewhere, and usually it's embarrassing to look at now. But I'm all about embracing your beginnings.

As for what I'll be doing next on a regular basis for the Observer, I have some really great interviews in the can. Hopefully I will make some good stories out of them, and I will try to post my full Q&As with them here on this blog as a bonus.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
