By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Welcome back to the UK! Apart from our world-famous food and weather, what do you look forward to when you come here? Pubs and Pointless - I'm fascinated by the amount of filler in that show but I love it. The variety of restaurants here is incredible. I am a foodie. Feed me. Feed me spicy food. By the way, I've lived in the UK for almost 6 years now. I'm based in Stockwell :) Let's go back to the...

Radiohead have released a claymation video of their new single Burn the Witch. The new release is the first preview of Radiohead’s long-awaited ninth studio album, which has been shrouded in mystery after the band's internet presence gradually began to disappear, erasing all content from their social networks and official website. They broke the social media silence this morning with a 15 second clip of a bird tweeting. The second clip, released a few hours later, has been proceeded by this video of...

Belgian brothers David and Stephen Dewaele will showcase a new production with their band Soulwax for a UK festival exclusive, headlining the 6 Music Stage at Latitude 2016.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Gypsy Wood and yourself appeared together in Comic Strip in 2011. What was the impetus behind this new joint show? Is this the first joint project you've worked on since then? Do the names you’ve chosen for your characters have any special significance or were they chosen at random? We decided to try and make a new show together for the 2015 Perth Fringe, we didn’t know what form it would take but we were...

By Jack Peat (@JackNPeat) Explosions In The Sky Support: We Were Promised Jetpacks Royal Albert Hall 25.4.16 I feel I should start with a disclaimer. I'm not a music writer, nor am I a particularly big gig-goer, but there are certain concerts that compel even the most lukewarm music fan to pen their thoughts after. Explosions In The Sky at the Royal Albert Hall is one such concert. That noise, in that venue. You didn't have to be John Peel to know that...

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  I’ve basically been listening to this Kate Tempest song on loop for the last week. I love what she does, how she articulates her vision and most of all what she represents in the music industry. She’s not trying to be anything she’s not and she’s found a home on Ninja where she’s not going to be manipulated into...

By Esin Huseyin (@Esin_Huseyin) It’s not often that I can thank social media for introducing me to new artists and albums, but I was introduced to Norwegian singer Aurora Aksnes, or AURORA, via a Snapchat story. Many will know AURORA and her music through the eagerly anticipated, and well received, John Lewis Christmas advert last year. But, listening to the 19-year-old’s latest album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, was actually the first time I truly had the...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Congratulations on your new BBC3 sit-com, Sunny D. Can you tell us about it? Sunny D is a semi-autobiographical comedy show that tells the story of my life, loves and loathes before I started comedy. The show stars veteran actor, Don Warrington, what was it like to work with him? A pleasure and privilege; apart from the fact that when you mention his name, mature women and cougars swoon and then describe in graphic detail...
