Linda Stein's Personal Assistant Arrested for Her Murder

Tweet

Ten days after former Ramones manager and New York real estate tycoon Linda Stein was found bludgeoned to death in her 5th Avenue apartment, the police have made an arrest. Twenty-six-year-old Natavia Lowery, who worked as Stein's personal assistant, has seemingly all but confessed to the crime, telling officials they had an acrimonious relationship. "It was that Linda just kept yelling at her, over everything" a law enforcement official told The New York Times. "They fought. It was like a continuous thing, like a buildup." Last December Lowery was charged with identity theft.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The Joy Formidable | 2011

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
