That's all we have time for today, we hope we don't get yelled at by a major musician on our way out (scroll down to make sense of that).

Also check out new music for The Vaccines, Bruno Mars and Cardi B and Liam Payne and Rita Ora, plus tributes to one of the men behind The Beatles.

You'll hear from Graham Coxon and Olly Murs too and we've got a preview of Ed Sheeran's forthcoming performance on The Simpsons.

Surely Flight of the Conchords (above) are the ones to top.

"The city's pretty gritty for an itty bitty pretty girl."

Ay, caramba!

While the band may not be getting back together anytime soon, last year ended on a positive note for Oasis fans as the warring Gallagher brothers finally called a Christmas truce.

Fans were left in no man's land in 2017, forced to choose a favourite between Noel's new cosmic pop album and Liam's debut solo record.

One thing we can all agree on surely is that the story of the Manchester band going from being on the dole to playing one of the UK's biggest gigs of all time at Knebworth in just three years or so must have been quite a trip.

If you missed it over Crimbo you can join them on that trip now over on the BBC iPlayer.

We know you're all dying to know.

Actor, writer, presenter and all-round British institution Stephen Fry began the year by introducing his own specially-curated classical music mixtape for Radio 4's In Tune.

In it, he includes some of the music that means the most to him, including Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor and Bach's Chromatic Fantasy in D minor.

What - no lovely, lovely Ludwig van?

"I hope you enjoy it, I've loved putting it together," said the 60-year-old.

"All the very best, from Stephen Fry..."

If you have half an hour to spare (and are not operating heavy machinery) check it out over at the In Tune website.

They were one and two for 2017's album of the year so it should be of no surprise to anyone that Ken and Sizz have collaborated on a brilliant new track for the forthcoming Marvel movie Black Panther.

There are some swearwords on All The Stars so we cant embed it but you find it over at his YouTube channel.

Instead, here's a gratuitous look at the movie instead and its techno remix of Gil Scott Heron's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, external.

When is the year's best-selling album not the year's best-selling album? When it's by Taylor Swift.

The star outsold every other artist in the US last year - shifting 1.9 million copies of her fifth record, Reputation, in just seven weeks.

But her decision to withhold it from streaming services until December damaged its chances in the chart of 2017's most popular albums.

That's because 1,500 streams now count as the equivalent of one album sale.

Swift accumulated 280,000 "streaming equivalent albums" in the four weeks Reputation was available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and other services. But that wasn't enough to put her ahead of Kendrick Lamar and Ed Sheeran.

As 6 Music's A-Z of Psychedelia reaches the letter H, Marc Riley makes a bold claim about a certain US guitar legend.

Bold as love you might say.

"Who else could write songs that good, could play guitar that well and look so brilliantly and sing as well?"

Can't Harry Styles play guitar?

The Line of Best Fit

Here's one you may have missed over the festivities but still well worth a watch if you get a quieter moment today.

The Blur guitarist performed a live cover of a song by his friend and largely unknown songwriter Luke Daniel, who took his own life last year.

Falling was released in December in support of The CALM Zone, external (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and it's absolutely beautiful.

Watch the intimate gig, for The Line of Best Fit, external, above.

BBC Radio 2

Perma-grinned Olly Murs, the newest 'judge' on ITV's The Voice has been speaking to Radio 2 about the new series and the challenge of rejecting people.

"The hardest part is not turning around, how rude is that?" the 2009 X Factor runner-up told host Mark Goodier.

"I've been told by the other coaches...we're not a judging show...we don't want to be horrible."

Says the man who won't even turn around to look a wannabe singer in the face if he doesn't like what he hears....

The New Year is all about about looking forward but that's no reason why we can't still treat ourselves to a bit of nostalgia on a Throwback Thursday afternoon.

After their new Hottest Record, I Can't Quit, landed last night (scroll down), today's first #TBT of the year takes us back a whole seven years to 2011 when The Vaccines arrived into our world with a big bang.

They performed Wreckin' Bar, the riotous (and gloriously short) opening track from their debut album live for Jools Holland.

Enjoy all one minute, 24 seconds of it above.

We can't bring you any actual music yet from the Birmingham band but we do have this moody looking image of singer Tom Smith dressed in black and lost in thought.

The dark indie outfit's last new music came in the form of 2015 album In Dreams.

They are due to support The Cure at the 40th anniversary gig in Hyde Park in the summer.

Stay tuned folks.

Green Day's Billie Jo Armstrong is not the only artist to have directly told someone to stop listening to his music (scroll down).

Here are a few more examples of singers and musicians giving fans a piece of their mind.

Eminem gives Trump supporting fans the finger

Ahead of his comeback album Revival, Eminem broke radio silence with a four-minute freestyle diatribe against the US President ahead of the BET awards in October.

But he also took aim at his own fans who may voted for or at least supported Donald Trump.

"Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his / I’m drawing in the sand a line / you’re either for or against / and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside / I’ll do it for it for you with this / **** you"

Hopefully that clears things up.

Loyle Carner kicks a fan out of his gig for sexism

The young rapper and Mercury nominated artist kicked a fan out of his gig at the University of East Anglia in October for shouting sexist comments at a female support act.

Loyle was filmed (above) saying: "You gotta go, for being sexist, you gotta go."

The crowd then began cheering.

Later on Twitter, Loyle claimed the man had been "banned for life" from the venue.

Chrissie Hynde tells off fans in Dubai for filming the show

The Pretenders singer apparently had enough of fans at a gig filming her performance on their phone and stormed off stage.

According to reports, as she left the stage, she cocked her leg and told the crowd; “take a picture of that.”

While she did not comment on the specific gig, she later apologised to fans saying: "I know sometimes I'm not the celebrity you want but believe me, I suffer for it later that night and wish I could have been nicer person."

Johnny Marr forbids the then-PM from listening to The Smiths

The guitarist turned frontman was incensed to find out that David Cameron liked to unwind from a long hard day at the office with a bit of Marr, Moz and the lads.

He even chose the Smiths song This Charming Man on Desert Island Discs in 2006.

Having precisely none of it, Johnny tweeted:

For his part, Dave said he would "go on and listen", regardless of the warning.

It's not the first time he's been told off for his music taste, he also bore the wrath of Paul Weller over his love for the The Jam classic Eton Rifles.

Cameron, who was a student at the prestigious college, said: “I was one, in the corps. It meant a lot, some of those early Jam albums we used to listen to."

Weller later declared in Mojo: "I just think, ‘Which bit didn’t you get?'

"People say, ‘Why don’t you write any more political songs?’

"But I would just write exactly the same...things I wrote thirty-odd years ago.”

Rita Ora and Liam Payne both agree that they had "so much fun in the studio" with each other while recording the soundtrack to the new Fifty Shades film.

For You will appear in the next edition of the saucy movie series entitled Fifty Shades Freed.

Rita can be seen singing (in her pyjamas); "Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you" on the track, which you can check out below.

The previous Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, I Don't Wanna Live Forever, external, was delivered by Liam's former One Direction bandmate Zayn and Taylor Swift and has made the list of songs eligible for an Oscar.

Time to pick your favourite pop power duo people.

Music promoter Tony Calder, who helped The Beatles score their first hit single, has died at the age of 74.

The executive (pictured right above), who started his career at Decca Records in the 1960s, went on to work with the Beach Boys, Marianne Faithful, Black Sabbath and Eddy Grant.

He also co-founded his own independent record label, signing acts including Rod Stewart and Fleetwood Mac.

Rolling Stone producer Andrew Loog Oldham, his former business partner, tweeted: "A member of the family has left us."

The Hawaiian pop star and New York rapper are "dripping in Finesse", as well as fluorescent baggy 1990s clobber in their fun loving new video.

Could the track be their secret their tribute to a city in the Scottish Highlands?

The video looks like a unused scene from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air but sadly due to a swear word from Bruno we can't bring it to you here but you can find it on his YouTube page.

Finesse, featuring Cardi B, is a remix of the track of the same name from Bruno's smash hit album 24K Magic.

Earlier this week, Cardi joined The Beatles and Ashanti as one of only three artists/bands ever to have had all three of their first singles in the top 10 of the US charts at the same time.

Plenty of fans are loving this dance down memory lane, to kick of our first #TBT of the year.

Now, it's no secret that the US punk rocker is no fan of the current 45th US President but it appears he gives short shrift to fans of his band who don't feel the same way.

On Wednesday, the Green Day singer posted a screenshot of Donald Trump's now infamous 'my buttton's bigger than yours' provocative tweet aimed at North Korean leader Kim Yong Un, with a message reading: “This isn’t funny.

"This is our president acting like a madman drunk on power THREATENING to kill innocent starving people by way of nuclear war.

He added: "This man is sick and unfit for office... this has to stop."

According to US reports, when one of his followers replied saying that people had the right to support the president, Billie Jo unleashed a furious tirade with too many swearwords to list here.

Instead we've replaced the swearwords with the word 'TRUMP' but you'll get the idea...

BBC Radio 1

Radio 1's Hottest Records have been on fire so far this year already.

Following on from relative newbies Dream Wife and Superorganism, established neo punk rockers The Vaccines returned last night in their favourite jackets.

A "nervous" Justin and Freddy from the band arrived in the studio fresh from a warm weather break to Marrakesh to talk DJ Annie Mac through new track I Can't Quit and their decision to continue as "a new band" without drummer Pete, who left in 2016.

"It was us falling back in love with rock 'n' roll and the record is an ode to that really," says singer Justin.

Listen above to the track, which is taken from their forthcoming third album Combat Sports, which is out at the end of March.

Leaving aside all his many musical achievements, 2017 saw Ed Sheeran perform as a singing soldier, external in Game of Thrones.

Now this year kicks off with Ed serenading new love interest Lisa in his debut on cult US cartoon The Simpsons.

The show, titled Haw-Haw Land, airs in the US on Sunday.

Ed or 'Brendan' as his character is known sips from a blackcurrant soft drink while playing the piano for the onlooking Lisa.

"You didn't applaud?" he questions her.

The animated show has previously included cameos from fellow music stars Katy Perry, Lenny Kravitz, Snoop Dogg, Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones, as well as wannabe rock star and comedian Ricky Gervais.

So can Ed, sorry, Brendan, live up to Snoop's appearance?

Or that of Mick and Keef?

Hard acts to follow but if anyone can do it, Ed can.

To take his mind off the pressure, he can think about his album ÷ , which finished 2017 as the most popular album of the year in the US, according to Nielsen Music, external.

A day after he did exactly the same thing in the UK

Ready to go once again for another day of Music News LIVE.

This short first week of the year is flying by and today we'll accelerate even further with a brand new Hottest Record in full (sample above) from neo-punks The Vaccines and a taste of the forthcoming Rita Ora/Liam Payne collaboration for the next 50 Shades movie.

Speaking of collabs there's also news of a new 90s style music video from Cardi B and Bruno Mars.

Plus tributes to the man who helped launch The Beatles and a first look at Ed Sheeran as Lisa Simpson's new love interest.

In order to show that we haven't forgotten our musical roots, we'll have our first Throwback Thursday of 2018 too.

So keep checking in with us today.
