Luke Hemmings On Growing Up In Australia And His EP 'boy'

May 2, 2024 | junkee.com | Talecia Vescio

Though he’s been making music for over a decade, playing iconic venues around the world with homegrown pals 5 Seconds of Summer, and has millions of eyes watching what he does next, one thing remains true: Luke Hemmings is just a boy. The wistful feeling that coming-of-age art elicits can be overwhelming. We openly invite our childhoods to sit cross-legged on our chests, yearning to feel our sternums splinter under the crippling weight of nostalgia.

Indie pop queen girl in red is doing it again, baby and she’s doing it better than ever.

Finally, We Have A Show Actually Made For Us

Apr 15, 2024 | junkee.com | Talecia Vescio

This generation is painfully self-aware, and that scares the hell out of the rest of the world. Sometimes though, it impresses them and they talk about us condescendingly, claiming that “the kids will be alright”, without acknowledging why we have no choice but to dismantle systems that were built before our time. Mostly though, comment sections in the stale crevices of the internet are furious that we would like human beings to be treated like human beings.
Martin Scorsese Jingles When He Walks, I’m Sure Of It

Mar 14, 2024 | junkee.com | Talecia Vescio

Martin Scorsese is famous to me for three reasons: being Francesca Scorsese’s dad, voicing the pufferfish in Shark Tale (2004) and looking exactly like every single nonno from Milano to Leichhardt. The 2024 Oscars were weird. They were awkward, unsettling and kind of… incredibly disappointing. Last year’s Oscars brought the world together to celebrate the incredible performances in Everything Everywhere All At Once, specifically from Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan.

Alternative Ways To Spend New Years Eve That Don’t Suck

Dec 21, 2023 | junkee.com | Talecia Vescio

There’s this existential feeling exclusive to New Year’s Eve. Somehow you’re always in the wrong place. Whether you’re surrounded by people you know, people you don’t, or nobody at all — New Year’s Eve is engineered to make you feel like you’re the only person on this earth, and you’re completely alone. You feel like you’ve run out of time. 11 months ago, you vowed to yourself that you’d be a different person by now. But because you haven’t become someone you don’t recognise, you’ve somehow failed.

There’s been whispering, giggling, screaming, and cringing — especially from Junkee staffers Talecia Vescio, Lia Kim, and Ky Stewart.
