Nothing left to see here.

Except Jorja Smith that is (above) performing Teenage Fantasy at 1Xtra live at the weekend.

Scroll down for news of PJ Harvey scoring a new play starring Gillian Anderson and Netflix investigating Bob Marley's shooting and other unsolved cases.

There's also lots of new music videos from the likes of Weezer, Marshmello/Bastille and She Drew the Gun and a Newbie Tuesday guitar band urging us all to check our privileges.

Until tomorrow...

Villagers performed live in session today for 6 Music DJ Lauren Laverne.

Conor O'Brien, who also appeared on Paul Weller's latest album, told Lauren about using samples for the first time on his own new record, The Art Of Pretending To Swim, which arrived last Friday.

It includes a sample of US jazz musician Donny Hathaway "having a party in his studio".

"I thought we weren't gonna get the rights to it," explained the Irishman.

"So, I was getting ready to go to a party in Dublin with my friends with a bit of Guinness, which wouldn't have sounded as cool."

Listen above.

The Scots singer songwriter turns exotic dander in the video for his new track Grace.

The former Newbie Tuesday artist supported Sam Smith earlier this summer but we are still waiting for his debut album, to follow on from last year's Bloom EP.

If the music dries up, at least we know he still has a promising future career on the stage.

Bassist and former member Peter Hook and the Manchester Camerata are to revisit the band's songs for a performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 5 July 2019.

The setlist will come from the band's two albums.

According to a press release, it's the first time an original member of the group has participated in such a project.

Hook - who is producing the show - said: "Post punk is already dramatic and this will accentuate that and take it to another performing and emotional level.“

"I know the band’s canon will be treated with great reverence and care, enthusiasm and passion as the originals were."

The Camerata - a chamber orchestra - are perhaps best know for their reworking of classic songs played at Manchester's legendary Hacienda club.

Tickets go on sale on 5 October.

Jools will be joined by artists including Bristolian punks Idles, Jess Glynne and London singer-songwriter Hak Baker when the show returns at 22:00 BST tonight.

In a tweet, Idles called its "a dream come true".

"Make no mistake," they added, "this is a moment we will never forget and we will deliver all that we have and love."

Here is a nice selection of some of the standouts from the last series courtesy of BBC Music.

The Wirral band are back with another hit of politically-charged rock 'n' roll poetry.

Produced by James Skelly of The Coral, Resister Reprise sees frontwoman Louisa Roach tackle NHS issues, immigration and capitalism head on, over a pulsating fuzz rock beat.

The track is taken from their forthcoming second album Revolution Of Mind, which is out next month, when they'll also support The Coral on their UK tour.

Check it out below.

If you like Robyn and have 20 seconds to spare (yeah, right) then click the play button below and all shall be revealed.

The Swedish star's eighth album Honey - her first in eight years - drops on 26 October and apparently we will all get to the hear the tracks "more or less in the order that I wrote them."

No wonder they fall together so nicely.

Is it just us though or does she appear to have spelled her own name wrong on track five.

US college rockers Weezer's have recruited the services of Weird Al Yankovic and a load of doppelgangers in the video for their inexplicable hit cover of Toto's Africa.

The satirist plays the role of frontman Rivers Cuomo in the video, which recreates the visuals for Weezer's 1994 track Undone (The Sweater Song).

The cover came about in May after persistent requests from fans and gave the Los Angeles band their first hit on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for a decade.

It could at least give that Bristol DJ we told you about yesterday another option during his repeat Africa set in November (or would that be cheating?)

In reply, Toto covered Weezer's track Hash Pipe., external

We did warn you this post was weird.

Celine Dion's final Vegas concert will take place on 8 June 2019.

The singer has announced 28 final shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

In a statement, she admitted "mixed emotions" adding Las Vegas had "become my home".

"Every show we do at the Colosseum throughout this fall, and right up until the final one, will feel very special.”

Last week, she tweeted that she had been in the studio working on new music.

Van McCann and his band of merry man (men) will head out on tour next year.

They'll take in dates in Nottingham, Plymouth, London, Hull Dublin and Belfast.

Nothing in their native Wales though - a glaring omission or are we awaiting another announcement?

In fairness, they did play an extensive UK tour earlier this year.

It's been two years since Catfish released their last album The Ride.

The Big Little Lies actress has been cast in the series adaptation of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity for Disney’s upcoming streaming service.

It will re-imagine the story, about an obsessive music fans who owns a vinyl record store, from a female perspective.

Zoe, whose parents are pop star Lenny and Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet, will also executive produce.

Her mum actually starred as bohemian musician Marie DeSalle opposite John Cusack in the 2000 adaptation of the the book (below).

So we imagine she knows the story well already.

Goat Girl, external arrive at their "favourite festival" Green Man straight off the back of an AIM Awards nomination for UK Breakthrough of the Year.

The award, which will ultimately go to rising Midlands soul star Jorja Smith, places the south London guitar band among the likes of Sophie, AJ Tracey and Idles as officially one of the most exciting independent acts around.

They also arrive to the press tent at the Brecon Beacons event in varying mental states. Guitarist L.E.D is fresh from a family holiday in Thailand, while frontwoman Clottie Cream confesses she's still recovering from the "trippy experience" of "enjoying the natural pickings" of the south Wales mountainside the night before.

The rest of the brilliantly-named band comprises of bassist Naima Jelly and drummer Rosy Bones. Their self-titled debut album, released in April - "a magical time" - saw them cram 19 short filthily-charming Country Sleaze (as they call it) tracks and sea shanties into 40 minutes, singing about topics as varied as strange lust (above), creepy blokes on the train and Rosy's pet monkey, Hank.

Their pre-album debut doube A-side single, Scum, took aim at Brexit in no uncertain terms.

"I honestly do think that someone spiked their drinks / How can an entire country be so... thick?"

How then do the band, who were taken to SXSW in Austin, Texas this year by BBC Music Introducing, feel about singing that particular one to festival crowds up and down this green and pleasant land?

"I feel like this is a festival that’s definitely full of very liberal socialist-minded people and I don’t feel worried to be saying that," says Clottie.

"I also feel like it's fine to say that to crowds that don’t necessarily believe in what you're saying. It's nice to have perspectives and to not be shunned for those."

"That's a very good thing to have and voice," she adds "but I don't know. I don't really ever care."

L.E.D offers: "We’re in a bit of a lefty bubble so maybe our music doesn’t expand that bubble as much as we’d like it to."

"Do you mean like in America?", asks Clottie, before launching into an excruciating anecdote about Stateside sexism at one of their gigs.

"The patriarchy is so ingrained," adds L.E.D, "even if you think you’re a liberal feminist man you have to constantly check yourself as you're never going know what it's like to be a woman.

"I'm talking about treating people with human decency and respect and knowing your privileges and not just assuming that women haven’t worked three times as hard to get to places where men can just walk."

"White people, as well, need to check themselves constantly. Us as women, because we’re white, need to remind ourselves that we have it better than other people."

The girls believe their music and provocative aesthetic affords them a means of "regaining control" or adjustment of how things could and should be in an ideal world.

"I think it's just important to have that sense of awareness because there are so many people that don’t even have people looking in their eyes," sighs Clottie.

"Like homeless people coming on the train and people pretending that they don’t exist and devaluing their basic human rights.

Formed in 2016, GG emerged out of the same Brixton alternative rock scene as another former Newbie Tuesday act, Shame and the Fat White Family.

Clottie explains more: "It’s nice that people can grow from a similar space but I don’t think our music is connected in any way.

"I think we’re more connected as friends and help each other out.

"We’re very lucky to have certain venues [like The Windmill, external] that exist that have the space for that and don’t really have rules and regulations, like there's no noise complaints around the area, no-one trying to shut the pub down, no security on the door.

"That’s very welcoming to people of all ages, there's a diversity to it and that’s quite rare in London."

In keeping with the community spirit, the band's friend and artist Eddie Lawrence, external made them an (in)appropriate "massive goat" set design feature, that they call Claris.

"We were worried about her as she was papier-mâché so going to be wrecked in the van on tour," admits Clottie.

"Honestly, she looked better than us when we got back!"

In case you were wondering, Goat Girl take their name from an adaptation of a particularly twisted comedy bit by the late Bill Hicks.

Now that one's taken, if anyone out there is looking for inspiration for a similarly dark moniker to use then how about Morbid Matter?

That was one of L.E.D's early suggestions... but we don't think they're going to be needing it.

Goat Girl tour the UK in October.

Now it's a little early for chips maybe but it's never to early for a bit of The Fall.

Mercurial late band leader Mark E Smith, who died of cancer aged 60 in January, will be remembered in his home town of Prestwich with a portrait on a wall next to a chippy.

Graffiti artist Akse P19 made a start on the mural last weekend and will complete it during the Prestwich Arts Festival, external, who commissioned the work, this coming one.

Here he is in action...

We hope they've thrown in a fish supper too for his efforts.

Akse P19's previous work includes a similar mural of Manc music mogul Tony Wilson, completed earlier in the year in the city's Northern Quarter, which you can see below.

His latest work will be the second major pictorial tribute to Smith in the city, adding to the one outside Afflecks Palace., external

This year's Mobos have been called off, as organisers make plans to revamp the ceremony for 2019.

The ceremony, which has been running since 1996, champions "the best in British urban music and culture", acting as a corrective to the pop and rock-focused Brits.

Last year's winners included Stormzy, Stefflon Don (above) and Craig David.

A new music video for you now, after all the hard news.

The new mashup between the DJ with the marshmallow head and the UK indie band with the French name, sees actress Miranda Cosgrove portray a young woman who is gifted a golden retriever called Mello (by a Robbie Williams lookalike, don't you think?)

Life moves on and as Miranda grows older, so does Mello and ends up... well you know.

But before you get all weepy, that's not the end of this dog's tale. She then gifts her daughter a doggy of her own and so it goes...

“When Bastille sent me Happier for the first time I was taken aback,” Marshmello said in a statement.

"The amount of emotion that you could feel in the lyrics was crazy. As I listened to the song more and more it reminded me of so many things I’ve been through in my life. Toxic relationships, letting go of things I didn’t want to and just situations where happiness came with a price.

While nobody will ever truly know what it's really like to be a man with a marshmallow for a head, many can relate to losing a furry friend.

BBC 6 Music

In the run up to BBC Music Day this Friday, 6 Music is on the road all week exploring the impact the UK’s art colleges have on British music and how they continue to shape their cities’ scene.

The station is broadcasting from Glasgow, London, Leeds and Sheffield,

This morning, 6 caught up with Glasgow hip hop artist Kobi Onyami - who has opened for Kanye Wes and Nas - about what the city is like for an independent musician and how it embraces creative thinking.

His album Gold was nominated for this year's Scottish Album of the Year, which was won by Young Fathers.

"I think Scotland itself embraces independence... politically and musically.

"I think they celebrate originality which is very important.

"It makes the artist unafraid to try knowing that you will be celebrated for being different - that's great."

Listen above.

BBC Music has also compiled a list of 11 albums recorded in Glasgow that you need to hear.

Cardi was the only female rapper with two chart-topping singles and now she's nosed even further ahead of the competition, after Maroon 5's Girls Like You eventually hit the number one spot in the US.

The song features Cardi as a guest and had been number two for the past six weeks.

The Queens rapper's debut Bodak Yellow topped the chart for three weeks in October last year while I Like It, with Bad Bunny and J Balvin took the top slot in July.

All of which means we can almost forgive her those ridiculous glasses.

The US singer/rapper curtailed his Dallas gig on Sunday night after sustaining an injury that has since been reported as a broken foot.

The musical alter ego of Donald Glover is famed for his fleet-footed dance moves in the video for This is America but left the stage half an hour early in Texas.

US publication TMZ reports, external Donald was actually seen in a wheelchair before the gig, suggesting that it's an older injury.

He is set to tour the States until mid-October but that could now prove tricky.

The 35-year-old has already confirmed this will be his last ever tour, so some fans were understandably left disappointed by his premature finish.

It is Donald's birthday today though, so let's hope he's got his feet up.

Kent rock band Moose Blood have announced they're stepping away from music after a what they describe as a "traumatic" year.

They were due to support Good Charlotte on their 2019 tour but the band dropped them after pressure from fans. In 2017, Moose Blood's drummer Glenn Harvey left because of claims of "inappropriate behaviour".

Earlier this year, vocalist Eddy Brewerton denied accusations that he took nude photos from a woman's phone and forwarded them to the band.

In a statement, the band said: "We need to concentrate on all the good we have in our lives without constant concern of what may happen next."

British singer Gary Numan says he is "devastated" after his tour bus was involved in a fatal accident in Cleveland, Ohio.

The bus was making a right turn when it struck and killed a 91-year-old man on a crossing, police said.

Numan cancelled his show at the city's House of Blues venue.

"Everyone of us is filled with a sadness that made it impossible to even consider playing our show tonight," he wrote on Twitter.

"Out of respect, it would have been entirely wrong."
