Miki granted her first interview in 10 years to this excellent US-based music publication. Her eloquent, honest, spot-on responses answer many questions Lush fans had been asking for years. Its an absolutely brilliant interview.

The print version of Under the Radar included a much shorter version of this on-line interview.

Miki lists her favorite Christmas songs for the VPME Music Blog, and its a very cool list indeed! In typical Miki fashion, she is kind enough to include some personal background on each song.

In this VPME Music Blog interview, only her second in 10 years, Miki answers many more long-standing questions. And once again her honesty, eloquence and humor shine through. This superb interview is a must-read for all fans of Lush.

Parts 2 and 3, published a week later, consist of many never-before-seen Lush photos from Miki's personal collection, including her commentary for each one!

The VPME had the brilliant idea to ask Miki for her thoughts on each of the Lush music videos. And Miki does not disappoint, with typically funny and interesting answers.

An excellent new interview with Emma.

An excellent and very in-depth new interview with Phil, full of great never-before-heard stories and insights.

Lush appears throughout the magazine:

• The timeline includes the release of Lovelife and death of Chris, with a prominent photo of the band.
• There's a beautiful full-page photo of Miki in the Split taxi.
• Lovelife is featured very prominently in the article 60 greatest Britpop Albums, with a very positive review.

Of course Lush wasn't really a Britpop band, but this recent exposure is still great.

Miki talks about the transition from being in a band to an office job,
with her usual honesty and humor.

A re-appraisal/appreciation of Lush, with quotes from Miki and Phil.

An interview with Emma and Miki, including their thoughts on a possible reunion. And with STEVE, for the first time since he left the band!

An interview with Seinking Ships (Eric Mathews and Christopher Seink) about their new CD Museum Quality Capture, including Miki who did guest vocals on 3 tracks.

A fantastic look back at Lovelife..

A rare in-depth interview with Phil about his entire career.

A facinating brand new in-depth interview with Emma!

A wonderful look back at Spook, in a very unexpected place.

The Verge is one of the leading technology websites in the US and its great to see Lush appear in such an usual venue.

The ghostlifeghostlife blog publishes an extensive "Split 20th Anniversary" interview with Miki, Emma, AND Phil.

One of the best Lush interviews, great questions and great answers!
