There are several of these channels, and they're all super popular. The most prominent belongs to an anonymous figure named ChilledCow, who has gathered 1.7 million subscribers over the year-plus they've been streaming. On paper, the craft here isn't much different from someone throwing on an expertly curated playlist at a party. The streams don't require someone to be behind the boards at all times, unlike the constant monitoring demanded by any FCC-ordained FM station, but the music rotation is constantly updated with new, handpicked tunes—a stark contrast from the algorithmic mandates handed down by Spotify or Apple Music.

It wasn't until 2014 that he re-emerged with Syro, his sixth album under the Aphex Twin moniker, and did the last thing anyone would expect – he opened up. There were no tanks and no sandpaper in the press run that followed. Instead he just talked enthusiastically about his family life, his recording process and even his once-guarded list of studio equipment. After years of hiding behind the frozen, grinning visage of his own face that was once his visual trademark, he had finally removed the mask.”

The Radiohead singer has also recently revealed that he is working on a new solo album (his first since 2014’s Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes). “It’s very electronic, but it’s different from what I’ve done until now,” he told El Mundo in an interview earlier this month, also discussing the album’s potential themes. “I didn’t have any desire to make very political music, but everything I do tends to go that way anyway. It’s something that’s always there.”

Her second international release, Istikrarli Hayal Hakikattir (Consistent Fantasy Is Reality) provides a further reminder of her powerfully original approach. Her other influences include Nirvana and Nick Cave, and with help from an impressive guitar band she has created a distinctive folk-rock style in which sturdy bass riffs and percussion underpin distinctively Turkish melodies. To this is added a dash of electronica, and local stringed instruments including the oud, bağlama and cümbüş.

The Beastie Boys Book took them four years to complete and tells the Beasties’ story from pre-1981, when Diamond formed a hardcore band with friends, including Yauch. Packed with photographs, diagrams, maps, cartoons, recipes, lists (some great music ones), as well as some brilliant writing from them both, Beastie Boys Book is a delight. But, God, getting either Diamond or Horovitz to talk about it is nigh-on impossible.
