Must be tough to be young, beautiful and rich and in LA.

Have a listen above.

So have fun if you're off to see one of New Order's special Manchester International Festival, external shows, which kick-off tonight.

Singer Bernard Sumner says the band will "deconstruct and re-think" their back catalogue but will "definitely not play Blue Monday."

Got that? Luckily we have no such rule here at MNL.

So here's Bernard and the guys talking 6 Music's Jarvis Cocker through how they made their big 1983 hit... thirty years on.

Turns out it's just a secret drum machine, mixed with a bit of Donna Summer and a pinch of Kraftwerk. Once ready just pop it into a v.expensive sleeve.

Easy.

French four-piece Phoenix have popped into Radio 2 to record a session for Jo Wiley.

The Versaille indie-rockers told her how they had some particularly intimidating audience members on the front row of one of their festival gigs.

Turns out it was just some singer and her husband.

Listen above.

The Mancunian singer and celebrity Beatles fan's album is out on 6 October and he's handily individually tweeted all the tracks, such as Rubber... we mean... Greedy Soul above.

We presume the final one is a hidden extra track or perhaps its a just a wee reward after a hard day's tweeting.

As you were.

Producer Mura Masa secured the services of the French star for his new track Second 2 None which was given the Annie Mac seal of approval last night.

He said: Basically I'd finished the album and turned it in and she was in London doing some fashion thing and she wanted to go into the studio and I told her the album was finished so it might not be used but let's just do something anyway.

"And then she came out with this.

"She recorded the whole song in one or two takes. Unbelievable. "

We think so too.

Two thirds of us (or 69% if you prefer) are ‘happier’ and ‘more stimulated’ when listening to live music, according to a new study.

Not that any Glasto-goers from the weekend needed a study to tell them that.

According to a new Royal Albert Hall, external study of 2,000 UK adults, people were 'more engaged’ (68%) and ‘more sociable’ (59%) when live music was playing. Almost three quarters (73 %) agreed that ‘live music can make an event feel more special’.

Lucy Noble, director of events at the Royal Albert Hall, who host Free Friday Music days believes venues need to do more to make live music more accessible to the masses.

She said: “The positive effects of live music are without doubt.

"We must do all we can to ensure that live music is accessible and affordable to all and not just the privileged and wealthy.”

BBC Radio 1 has a problem.

But it's not the playlist, listening figures or social media following that controller Ben Cooper is concerned about - it's where the next generation of presenters is coming from.

"It's everyone's favourite game at Radio 1 to try and second guess me and come up with their fantasy schedule," he said as he unveiled Radio 1 Vintage - a pop-up station (scroll down for more) which will broadcast old shows from across the decades as part of the station's 50th birthday celebrations in September.

"It's getting harder because you don't have the likes of MTV presenters like Cat Deeley, Edith Bowman, Trevor Nelson or Zane Lowe.

"You don't have T4 with Vernon Kay and Dermot O'Leary. You don't have CD:UK or Top of the Pops. So it's really hard to find that next group of presenters that are coming up."

We've heard her strumming and singing along before in films like the cult indie classic Juno but now Hollywood actress Ellen Page has pulled a real corker of a cover version out of the bag in a frankly surreal new video.

Watch below as Ellen sits in the dark singing a haunting acoustic version of Britney Spears' Lucky, while Broadway dancer Emma Portner improvises a manic dance behind her.

It's all very strange.

Two never-before-exhibited paintings by Kurt Cobain are to go on show at this year's Seattle Art Fair, external.

They include the work that was the basis for Nirvana's 1992 b-side compilation album Incesticide, pictured above.

Joshua Roth, the director for United Talent Agency Fine Arts, said: "He was born near there, he passed away there, and he created the soundtrack for a counterculture there,”

Apparently a touring exhibition featuring Kurt's artworks, personal artifacts and memorabilia is also in the works.

Always best to double check things before tweeting to your one million followers.

Looks like Arcade Fire have fallen foul of a social media fail after posting a picture of Russian President Vladimir Putin wearing headphones containing the initials of their new album Everything Now.

Doh!

DM guys next time. DM.

The album is out on 28 July and in a subsequent (apparently intended) tweet the Montreal band look to have revealed the tracklisting.

In a typically post-modern manner, Win and the gang seem to have three songs called Everything Now and two called Infinite Content.

It's the follow up to their 2013 album Reflektor.

Ed Sheeran is upping his fight against touts selling tickets to his 2018 tour by imposing what sound like the strictest rules about entry to his gigs.

Ed and his team have previously said they are "vehemently opposed" to ticket re-sales.

So when fans turn up to see him perform one of his seven 2018 UK stadium gigs, they'll need four forms of ID.

A statement from Ed's record label, Atlantic Records read: "Ed and his team have a strict stance against anyone using secondary ticketing websites for profit.

"On this tour, any tickets that are resold will not be valid unless they are bought and sold through Ed's official resale partner, Twickets, which allows fan to fan sales at face value plus booking fee only.

Best wear a bum bag then - luckily, as Glasto proved, they're so hot right now.

Scottish singer Paolo Nutini has been found not guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol in his home town of Paisley.

The 30-year-old had denied driving while more than twice the legal limit on 21 February.

Nutini had used "the hip flask defence", which suggested he had drunk alcohol after he had driven rather than before getting in the car.

A Scottish Police Authority forensic toxicologist had told the trial that "post-incident drinking" could increase alcohol readings.

So have you caught up on everything that you missed at Glastonbury yet?

Impossible we know, but we would strongly recommend if you get chance to check out the Pyramid Stage performance from Ohio band The National.

They've just unveiled an artsy new video for the second song taken from forthcoming album Sleep Well Beast, which is out on 8 September.

It's pretty hypnotic stuff. Check it out above.

A pop up Radio 1 sister station will broadcast classic shows from the likes of John Peel and Chris Moyles a part of the station's 50th birthday celebrations.

September will also see the return of Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month with Foo Fighters, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Royal Blood all set to take part.

As well as performing their own songs, artists will be allowed to cover songs from anytime in the past 50 years.

The annual 18-day arts event kicks off today with a set by some local legends at the Old Granada Studios.

The band are also playing five gigs across the festival alongside visual artist Liam Gillick.

The gig will apparently "deconstruct, rethink, and rebuild the band's expansive catalogue for 1,200 lucky souls."

What that means is the band will perform with a 12-strong synthesizer ensemble from the Royal Northern College of Music and help create a fully-immersive experience for the crowd.

But be warned - to avoid disappointment - they will "definitely not play Blue Monday."

They've been talking to 6 Music about how it came about.
