COVER STORY
(In Which We Cover Covers)
The Edge - “Suspicious Minds”
Whatever you expect to get from the above video, I think I can guarantee that you won’t get it. The title of the video promises U2 guitarist / Spider-Man librettist The Edge singing Elvis Presley’s post-movies comeback hit “Suspicious Minds.” You might think that sounds promising, or at the very least interesting.
But you also failed to notice that the title also tells you that this is from a live show in 1997, which means that it comes from the band’s PopMart tour. If you’re unfamiliar, this tour was U2′s grand attempt to double down on the sensory overload of their Zoo TV tour, ironically skewering consumerism by creating the most absurdly gaudy spectacle that they could.
In one sense, it was a great success, in that it was an absurdly gaudy spectacle. But the whole thing also toppled into literal Spinal Tap levels of absurdity, including multiple times that the band got stuck inside a forty-foot-tall motorized mirrorball shaped like a lemon. Yes, you read that correctly.
But anyway, the fact that this cover took place on that tour should probably tip your hat to the fact that things are gonna get weird.
After The Edge has brief heart to heart with the audience and a pre-recorded guitar track comes in, Huey Morgan, frontman of supporting act Fun Lovin’ Criminals, tells the crowd to put their hands up because “THIS IS THE EDGE!!! THIS IS THE EDGE!!! YEAH!!!” He will not stop for the duration of the song.
What follows can only be described as the biggest karaoke concert in history, with the guitarist of biggest band on the planet moseying through a perfectly acceptable rendition of pop hit as the lyrics appear on the jumbotrons behind him (presumably to allow the audience to sing along).
You gotta admit that I was totally right, though.
When you started this video, I’m certain that you were not expecting “guitar-free karaoke, but with an incessant hype man.”
But that’s exactly what it is.

PS: How wild is it that this isn’t the worst U2 solo cover I’ve posted here?

I’ll let you in on one of life’s little secrets: most people are so caught up in their own internal drama and so worried about their own problems, they rarely pay attention to anyone or anything else for very long.

Camila Mendes Is Taking It All in Stride
Camila Mendes has been on the grind. It’s been hard for the actor to find a moment of calm — a moment to breathe, a moment when she’s not filming a new movie, wrapping up a season of Riverdale, or hopping between cities, meetings, and wardrobe fittings. “It’s great, because it’s all for good opportunities and things I want to do,” Camila tells Teen Vogue.
But there is always a catch. “I seriously have problems when it comes to taking time to chill,” she says. “I’m trying to learn how to be like, Do I need to say yes to this? Do I need to do that? Is it really worth it? Could I have a day for myself?”
So far the hard choices have been worth it. Camila, who is 24, is filming not one but two movies before Riverdale starts filming season four in July. She’s also going to attend the exclusive, legendary Met Gala for the first time, and grappling with the pressures and public glory that can bring with it. It’s a transformative time for the young star. During her first few years in Hollywood, she’s had to learn how to handle other people’s assumptions about her while maintaining a sense of who she actually is and what she wants out of life, and for her burgeoning career.
But that breather she’s been craving has been hard to come by. So when it’s time for Camila to sit down with Teen Vogue for the May cover story, the busy Riverdale star suggests meeting at Color Me Mine, the paint-your-own-pottery studio with shops across the United States. She has one day off during a week of shooting a supporting role in the Andy Samberg comedy Palm Springs, and she wants to do something soothing. “Everyone’s so anxious all the time, it’s just a part of our lives,” she says. “This whole week I haven’t been able to stop and do something like this, you know? Something that’s not necessarily productive.”
The irony, of course, is that this interview is still work; another day that she does not have time to disconnect, to not be “on,” to just be a 20-something zoning out in her apartment or Marie Kondo-ing her closet. Camila’s statement on her Twitter banner seems to fit the mood: “I want to cry but I have things to do.” Pottery painting will have to suffice, for now. So Camila sits, brushing green paint over the edges of the ceramic jewelry box she’s chosen as her project for the day. “This feels therapeutic,” she says.

早上在公司書櫃翻到一本去年12月出刊的雜誌，看封面覺得很感興趣，在講「由裡到外的蛻變 首爾」，還有「成立工作室，好嗎」，還有關於Mariya Suzuki的手繪生活。雜誌名我一開始不知道是什麼，因為看不見，無意間經過燈光反射之後才知道，喔原來是Inspire，雜誌的設計將書名做了透明局光，我想，嗯他們可能是不想要雜誌名去干擾到封面的畫吧～(?)
開始翻閱雜誌之後，ㄜ… 整本96頁內容的雜誌，我翻到第60頁才真正看到所謂的封面主題「由裡到外的蛻變 首爾」，前面都在講別的東西，從60開始總共也才花了10頁左右介紹這個主題，10頁裡面還有3~4頁是純圖片，還有一頁是跟韓國設計工作室ZERO PER ZERO的訪談，真正在講首爾由裡到外的蛻變的文字並不多，坦白說我有點失望。但沒關係，再去翻翻其他封面主題，成立工作室和Mariya Suzuki的手繪是各5頁的介紹，所以印在封面的3個主題，我因為看了封面而感興趣、會想翻閱的那3個主題，在96頁的雜誌理才佔了20頁，這一本雜誌賣280元，如果我今天是在書店看到這一本而買回家去看，我應該會生氣吧? (會。)
想起來前幾個禮拜看了一本雜誌的封面是在講台南的生活和一些小店小吃，興沖沖地買回家看，前面看了一大堆台北富錦街小店的介紹，真正在講台南的才5~6頁，我當時的反應是大翻白眼配上一句碎念: 我到底買這本回家幹嘛? 雷聲大雨點小是現在做雜誌的風格or趨勢?
(這樣以後就不能看封面來決定買不買了啊…)
