Mixed messages Matthew.

What could 54,00 buy you? How about a shared ownership of a one-bed flat in Cheltenham, perhaps a three-year degree in England and Wales.

What about a new pair of headphones. Just one pair of Sennheiser HE-1 headphones are handmade a day.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that the collective will top the alternative bill this summer.

Speaking to NME, Emily said it was "brilliant" to have grime so strongly represented following last year's grime and hop hop takeover of one of the stages.

“Stormzy, Skepta , Boy Better Know – it’s going to be great for grime,” she said adding the UK was "leading the day in that genre."

"Grime has entered our lives in such a big way and it’s brilliant that we’re representing that as much as possible.”

BBK features artists including Jme, Wiley and none other than the current world number one rapper Drake.

Ok hotshots, here's Harry Styles news part deux.

Apparently pop legend Prince would not have minded the One Direction star launching his solo career with a song called Sign of the Times.

That's according to Sheena Easton, who famously sang with Prince on U Got the Look, one of the songs from his classic 1987 album Sign o' the Times.

Some have questioned Styles' use of the title, especially since the album has just turned 30 .

Yet Easton believes Prince would have been quick to give his approval.

"I'm sure he doesn't mind," the Scottish-born singer told the BBC on Tuesday.

"Prince was such a giving, loving person, I'm sure he's up there saying 'go for it'.

"So long as the song is different, that's the important thing."

Exactly Sheena. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

The band say if you're struggling with pronunciation just remember that their name rhymes with 'Brian Adams'.

Sort of.

Here's their track Lonely Side, which is apparently a cautionary tale about the perils of loving more than one person at a time.

Messy business that.

While most stars are reluctant to share any more than is strictly contractually necessary, it seems Beyonce has caught the sharing is caring bug and invited fans to a glimpse of what life is like when the (official) cameras stop rolling.

She has shared a new video for Die With You, a track she debuted two years ago.

The new video is made up of clips from Beyonce and hubby Jay Z's life together, accompanied by a new studio recording of the song.

The entire video is exclusive to Tidal but Stereogum have a snippet, external if you want to check our Bey and Jay being goofy in love.

...a freezing looking Harry Styles suspended over what looks, in this picture, to be the North Sea, presumably for his new music video for Sign Of The Times.

We at least note that Harry has picked out some very sensible knitwear for the occasion as opposed to his usual unbuttoned to the navel look.

Though by the looks of the back of his coat, it will never provide the same insulation again.

And remember for all you Stylesphiles, he will be playing his new solo record on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Friday.

Inspired by the rather trippy new video to their song Saturnz Barz from forthcoming album Humanz, Gorillaz are set to open their 'spirit house' around the world.

The video, which you can watch below sees Murdoc, 2D, Russel and Noodle crash out in a seemingly haunted house.

The new houses have been described as "immersive, high fidelity" events in "raw spaces" and feature music, artwork and installations.

And it's free to visit - that's the good news. 

The less good news is that unless you live in New York, Berlin or Amsterdam who will have to do some travelling.

The events take place in Brooklyn from 21-23 April, Berlin from 28-30 April and Amsterdam on 6 May.

“Come and bathe in high-tech sound, feast on unearthly visuals, and let the experience take you on the ultimate trip” said Murdoc.

Sounds like a real feel good (inc) experience.
