Had been wanting to make something with Hannah for a long time and this one just came together really naturally in the studio that day.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Explaining the recording process Hannah Reid continued to express how much of a delight it had been working with Flume (real name Harley Streten) saying <em>&#8220;been trying to work together for years but it just never worked out. Working with Harley was an honour because he pushes the boundaries of electronic music like nobody else. He’s the kind of electronic artist who will be around forever.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Britpop icons and self confessed &#8216;creeps&#8217;  Radiohead have today made an incredible statement and act of collective rebellion. After having their storage hacked the back recieved a blackmail ransom of $150,000 dollars from cyber hackers or else they would have all their session demos and edits from their seminal Ok Computer album released. The band however &#8220;instead of complaining or ignoring this&#8221; have made the extraordinary decision to release the music themselves online, with all proceeds going to The Extinction Rebellion.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fradiohead%2Fposts%2F10155954042367245&amp;width=500" width="500" height="357" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Discussing the incident in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jun/11/radiohead-release-hours-of-hacked-songs-to-benefit-extinction-rebellion">The Guardian</a> guitarist Johnny Greenwood confirmed the news saying <em>&#8220;Instead of complaining – much – or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion. Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom. Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it’s only tangentially interesting. And very, very long. Not a phone download&#8221;</em></p>

Releases all 18 themselves for £18 for 18 days with profits going to Extinction Rebellion. Class response. <a href="https://t.co/6NkemhTRfT">pic.twitter.com/6NkemhTRfT</a></p>
<p>— James Hall (@JamesFHall) <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesFHall/status/1138410407293607937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2019</a></p></blockquote>
<p>When discussing the music stolen and then subsequently released<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jun/11/radiohead-release-hours-of-hacked-songs-to-benefit-extinction-rebellion"> lead singer Tom Yorke said</a> <em>&#8220;It’s not v interesting. There’s a lot of it … as it’s out there it may as well be out there until we all get bored and move on.&#8221; </em>The tracks have however received more praise online with fans praising the alternative versions of both &#8220;True Love Waits&#8221; and &#8220;Lift&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/bwzag6/entire_ok_computer_sessions_have_been_leaked/eq23xee/">Discussing the tracks online one Reddit user said</a><em> &#8220;When the band said they didn’t release it because they though they had another Creep-success level song, I wouldn’t believe them off the OKNOTOK version. But this version I could definitely see being a big radio tune. Reminds me a lot of Bitter Sweet Symphony or a thick layered Oasis song from around the period. It seems they played around with the song heaps before finally just leaving it off the record. Same for TLW and MPS, which unlike Lift were probably best left unreleased in those forms&#8221;</em></p>

<p>A spokesperson for the Extinction Rebellion was understandably delighted at the news saying <em>&#8220;The climate and ecological emergency demands courage, truth-telling and generosity like never before. We are so grateful to Radiohead for showing us how that’s done, both now and in the lead-up to the April rebellion. Words are inadequate but actions do change the world.</em><em>&#8220;</em> </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p>
Hackers steal Radiohead demos circa OK Computer and threaten to release them unless they&#8217;re paid off.</p>
<p>The band responds by announcing to fans, in an email referencing the Big Lebowski, that the demos are now on sale and will benefit a group working to protect endangered species. <a href="https://t.co/psBySjQO2d">https://t.co/psBySjQO2d</a></p>

</p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The band first discussed the hack on the website Reddit, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jun/11/radiohead-release-hours-of-hacked-songs-to-benefit-extinction-rebellion">saying that</a> <em>&#8220;We originally considered pooling our money together, as our enthusiasm over the rare opportunity to share material of such high historical interest for a band we love peaked, but were concerned about the ethics of the situation. According to the leaker, they got the whole 18 hours of material by trading some other rare/unreleased material for it.&#8221; </em>The full hacked tracks can be listened to now, with full funds going towards the incredibly worthwhile and significant Extinction Rebellion.</p>

<p>Earlier in the week Matt Bellamy and The band had teased news of the announcement of new shows saying <em>&#8220;Stay tuned for a major announcement about UK shows on Monday June 10th&#8230;.&#8221; </em>After their incredible Manchester show at the Etihad stadium.

<p>Muse are currently touring their new album, also called Simulation Theory.<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/muse-admit-theyve-finally-gone-far-current-world-tour-2461790"> Speaking before the tour Matt Bellamy said</a> <em>&#8220;Robots do appear at some point in the show, and, you know, they’re pretty threatening,I didn’t think we could go this far, but we’ve finally gone too far.At some point, you’ve got to find the limits of what you can do in a rock show. It feels like no one else is doing that in the world of guitar music. It feels pretty unique at the moment.”</em></p>
<p>The album itself also scored rave reviews across the media, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/muse-simulation-theory-review">with The NME describing it as </a><em>&#8220;With space-age rockabilly and EDM machine gun beats, this bizarre new album sees Muse retreat from the real world and into a &#8216;Tron&#8217;-style pastiche of their own adolescence.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Punk band Killdren have today come out in defense of themselves and their song lyrics after being dropped from the festival line-up following outrage over a certain selection of their song lyrics. The band had been criticised in an article written in <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/glastonbury-bands-message-of-love-this-summer-kill-a-tory-jqmgxpsgj">The Sunday Times</a> for their song &#8220;Kill Tory Scum&#8221;</p>
<p>The song in question features the lyrics &#8220;Tory genocide is a perfect outcome&#8221; and has been criticised for spreading a message of hate and aggression. The Jo Cox foundation said of the song that <em>&#8220;The direct incitement of violence and abuse, on any platform and in any sector, is wrong. All of us need to call out this kind of language, until we return to a more civil way of being able to debate difference of opinions &#8211; without having to resort to threats and intimidation.&#8221; </em>This then led to the decision from festival organisers to cancel their apperance and release the following statement.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48497633">Killdren told the BBC they were &#8220;disappointed&#8221; by the decision</a>, defending the song as &#8220;crude satire&#8221; <em>&#8220;The piece would not exist at all if the destructive and violent policies of the Tory party hadn&#8217;t taken such a long and devastating toll on the UK, The band does not condone the killing of Tories or children, or anyone for that matter &#8211; regardless of political beliefs.&#8221;  </em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;One glance at our website and the artwork that represents our music would surely indicate the cartoonish and over-the-top nature of everything we do &#8220;We are disappointed that Glastonbury and the Jo Cox Foundation were upset enough by our music and video that they cancelled our set, buckling under pressure from the right-wing media. We know that there are other acts on the line-up who are spreading a radical political message and hope the spirit of rebellion lives on at the festival.&#8221;  </em></p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>The Albion Rooms is the studio in Bethnal Green where Carl Barat and Pete Doherty used to practice and record songs in Libertines&#8217; early days. Barat is now leading a project to convert these into a public house and bar for fans &amp; locals to come visit, admire art and share stories over a drink.</p>
<p>Speaking about this Barat said<em> &#8220;I’ve got more ideas and ambitions than I could possibly ever achieve. You know, I think the art is not spreading yourself too thin. I spent two years trying to get this hotel, gallery, studio up and running… We are really close now, actually.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Sometimes it’s hard. It’s hard doing things by committee where you’ve other people to convince to do something and that’s tough. But I believe I’m acting on behalf of everyone. It’s the point now where I send an email round with a preface that’s of the kind of  ‘speak now or forever hold your piece’… I know a lot more than I did before about getting hotels together&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Barat is however excited for the projects first guests and to pour his first pint saying<em> &#8220;We’ll strike up the jukebox or the band, you never know, I mean when everything is working in tandem we’ll have the studio going on for gigs, and the two bars – one of them being an art gallery sort of thing, and we’ll have residents – god bless their confused souls – coming down.&#8221; </em>The full interview with Red Stripe is posted below. <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n_z_tmdw6bE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><a href="https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/libertines/why-named-libertines-story-lyrics/">Radio X also today reported</a> the origins of the bands now iconic name, writing &#8220;<em>The Libertines&#8217; name was inspired by a controversial erotic work by the Marquis de Sade called The Lust of the Libertines, which was first published as part of his novel The 120 Days of Sodom- written in 1785.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" type="mce-no/type" charset="utf-8"></script>The film is based upon Elton&#8217;s early music career, focusing upon his internal conflicts both as a performer and a person. With explorations of his sexual life and relationships being a significant part of Elton&#8217;s life, and therefore the upcoming bio-pic. These significant scenes of discovery however have been cut from certain film distrubtors in Russia, leading to condemnation from the producers in Britain and The USA. </p>
<p>In a full statement Paramount Pictures said <em>&#8221; We reject in the strongest possible terms the decision to pander to local laws and censor Rocketman for the Russian market, a move we were unaware of until today,Paramount Pictures have been brave and bold partners in allowing us to create a film which is a true representation of Elton’s extraordinary life, warts and all.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;That the local distributor has found it necessary to edit out certain scenes, denying the audience the opportunity to see the film as it was intended is a sad reflection of the divided world we still live in and how it can still be so cruelly unaccepting of the love between two people. </em><em>We believe in building bridges and open dialogue, and will continue to push for the breaking down of barriers until all people are heard equally across the world.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The news was brought to our attention through a Facebook post from Russian reporter Anton Dolin. Who wrote that <em>&#8220;all scenes with kissing, sex and oral sex between men have been cut out… The nastiest part is that the final caption has been removed from the finale.&#8221;</em> <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/sad-reflection-divided-world-still-live-elton-john-responds-russia-censoring-rocketman-2503816">(summarised and translated in The NME)</a> <iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fadolin3%2Fposts%2F10217933250419109&amp;width=500" width="500" height="318" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Lead actor Taron Egerton also voiced his unhappiness today via Instagram, saying <em>&#8220;I am crestfallen that the decision was made to censor our movie for the Russian market.I’m even more disappointed to hear about it secondhand today on the day of our domestic release. I in no way condone this decision and feel disappointed I wasn’t made aware and given the chance to fight this move. Love is love. No compromises.&#8221;</em> </p>

I also fully recognize that it was truly inconsiderate of me to not let her know about her inclusion in the book beforehand, and equally inconsiderate for me to not fully respect her reaction. I have a lot of admiration for Natalie, for her intelligence, creativity, and animal rights activism, and I hate that I might have caused her and her family distress. I tried to treat everyone I included in Then It Fell Apart with dignity and respect, but nonetheless it was truly inconsiderate for me to not let them know before the book was released. So for that I apologize, to Natalie, as well as the other people I wrote about in Then It Fell Apart without telling them beforehand. Also I accept that given the dynamic of our almost 14 year age difference I absolutely should&#8217;ve acted more responsibly and respectfully when Natalie and I first met almost 20 years ago.
