Danger Mouse finds big success


Three years ago, Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, was the toast of the Internet thanks to his wildly popular, highly unauthorized and completely brilliant mash-up of the Beatles “White” album and Jay-Z’s “The Black Album” — “The Grey Album.”

There was no other way but up


They didn't speak to each other for three years. Now Massive Attack are back recording - and playing live. In their first UK interview for a decade, the duo talk to Dorian Lynskey

The other day Grant Marshall, the Massive Attack member better known as Daddy G, was collecting his daughter from school when he fell into conversation with another parent, an Israeli woman. She asked when Massive Attack were next playing live. Marshall told her there would be three shows this month in aid of the Hoping Foundation. She asked what that was. He told her it was a charity that funds community projects for Palestinian refugee children.

Robot DJs - Don’t Just Request Electropop


I wonder how people actually get hold of these robotic arms, and marvel at their creativity in expounding its function. A pair of Kuko industrial robots have actually been programmed to take over the role of a DJ at parties and nightspots, boasting the ability to scratch discs and mix music to keep the people grooving throughout the night and into the wee hours of the morning.

Hendrix to Oasis tourist trail: putting England's rock locations on the map


For decades the done thing has been to bury Britain's rock heritage rather than praise it. Two of the country's most famous music venues - the Cavern Club in Liverpool and Manchester's Hacienda - ended their lives under a wrecking ball. But the era of official neglect is over. A new map of England's rock and pop heritage aims to celebrate nearly 200 destinations linked to famous musicians, from Britpop boozer The Good Mixer in Camden to Jimi Hendrix's 1960s London address to Knebworth House, venue for Queen's last concert.
