    That's it, we've been let out for good behaviour.

    And while you lot have all been on your best behaviour too, as promised before we go a bit of Niall and George from #SLFN.

    Plus we get tangled up in booze puns after Bob Dylan launches his own whiskey.

    Like Miley before us, we are not sorry about that gag.

    See you tomorrow.

    He's a pretty good rapper, with an "entertainment show" on the way, but you might know him best as the baddest weather man in town.

    Big Narstie has been breaking it down for us again alongside Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin.

    Watch above as the rapper-turned-meteorologist warns us all about an "intergalactic cold breeze".

    Different settings out there people. Different settings.

    Let's face it there's enough of them.

    Some strong efforts below - keep them coming via @BBCMusic, external.

  4. Frank Turner: 'We've forgotten how to disagree'published at 14:42 BST 30 April 2018

    Paul Glynn
    Music News LIVE reporter

    Frank Turner

    For somebody who made his name penning anthems for the loveless, it could be considered a betrayal of sorts to learn that Frank Turner is now a happily settled man.

    Sorry folks.

    While introspective songs about music providing love in lieu of an actual girlfriend still form a big part of his live set, the singer/songwriter's new record Be More Kind (out this Friday) finds Frank looking outwards.

    "I was very fortunate a few years back to meet my partner [Jess] and the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with," he explains, from a moving tour bus, on route to Cambridge for a gig later tonight.

    "It's been lovely, not only in of itself, but also from a writing point of view it's kind of fun because I can move on from writing songs about my own romantic ineptitude!

    "First of all writing happy love songs, which is a new genre for me.

    "And secondly, it frees me up to look further afield and write about other things as well."

    Things like the state of world politics.

    On his latest single (above) Frank sings about being an "ignorant Englishman" wanting to "Make America Great Again."

    More specifically; "By making racists ashamed again."

    You may have heard the slogan MAGA lately, or more likely seen it written on a red cap worn by Donald Trump (or Kanye West - scroll down).

    But Frank's vision of a potentially new and improved US, it seems, would be different to that of Donald or Yeezy.

    "It's been a prominent phrase and used for ill, to be frank - I thought it would interesting to reclaim it.

    "Kanye West is entitled to his opinion and to express it and he has an extremely large platform.

    "But what I find depressing about the 'nativist' movement in the US right now, is that they've resoundingly mis-identified what's great about America."

    He adds: "That song has a definite directional message to it and obviously I'm not a fan of the current American administration.

    "But you have to make a distinction between Trump voters and Trump.

    "It's not like anybody who ever votes Trump is not allowed to come to my shows - I think that's a really bad approach to the situation.

    "I think it's important to find common ground with the people we disagree with and at least find ways of having that conversation using words rather than any other form of physical interchange."

    More than being an overtly political record, Frank believes that his seventh full-length studio effort - named after a poem by "one of my favourite writers" Clive James - is "more about how we interact with each other socially during a time of political strife."

    Quote Message

    My big concern and worry in the world is that we seem to have forgotten how to disagree with each other in a civil fashion, which in fact is absolutely vital for any peaceful or liberal society to exist and I think we need to have a serious think about it, as in the long and short term it's extremely dangerous.

    You can catch Frank - and even argue with him if you want - on his UK tour currently and again later in the year.

    But you won't find him performing in a field this summer, like you normally do, as he's taking the time out once the current tour is done to be "a civilian."

    And hopefully a kind one.

    After a standing ovation, judge David Walliams said: "It was just wonderful to see a father and son with this very special connection."

    Not the now-defunct US indie rock band, fronted by Michael Stipe, sadly.

    Imagine that for a collab... Everybody twerks? Anybody? No?...

    Ariana, who returned with her first new music since the Manchester Arena attack a few weeks back, has teased a second track, with a tweet saying "r.e.m", alongside some lyrics pertaining to dreaming about a boy.

    Well promised you that if you worked hard this morning we'd deliver more action from Friday's show and we think you've been good to your word.

    Time for a quick break to watch Georgia rappers Migos performed a skilfully self-censored version of their hit Stir Fry on Friday night.

    Offset will need to put a bit more overtime in with gigs like these ahead of the birth of his and fiancee Cardi B's first child together.

    Scots synth rockers Chvrches performed on the same stage and you can catch their performance of Get Out below too.

    The UK leg of Noel Gallagher's European tour continued in fine carnival style on Friday night at London's Wembley Arena.

    The former Oasis man and his High Flying Birds played most of his latest cosmic album, as well as Oasis classics, including a rare run-out for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants favourite Go Let it Out.

    The arena gig culminated with gigantic balloons falling from the ceiling as the band belted out a cover of the Beatles classic All You Need is Love.

    Noel previously played the track during a montage at last year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2017, in the Fab Four's home city of Liverpool.

    Several people were spotted trying to smuggle the inflatables on to the tube.

    Tweet us @BBCMusic, external if you successfully got one of those bad boys past security and home.

    We need a pic too, so we know your claims are not merely hot air.

    Bob Dylan: Make mine a double

    So if Kylie Minogue has her own brands of perfume and Dr Dre makes headphones as well as beats, then why can't Bob Dylan have his own range of booze?

    The 76-year-old singer and Nobel Prize winner has teamed up with liquor entrepreneur Marc Bushala to turn an old Tennessee church into a distillery.

    Their Heaven’s Door Spirits will soon be available in six US states and (for all your connoisseurs out there) comes in the form of a Tennessee straight bourbon, a double barrel whiskey and a straight rye.

    On Saturday Dylan put out a press release, which read; “You don’t always find inspiration, sometimes it finds you.

    Quote Message

    We wanted to create a collection of American whiskeys that would each tell a story.

    So turns out Bob was predicitng his own future with his track Gotta Serve Somebody.

    Best Bob Dylan booze puns please to @BBCMusic.

    For reasons best known to themselves Dave and lads brought John Travolta on stage at a gig in Florida over the weekend.

    The bands were about to do a cover of You're the One That I Want from the musical Grease, which celebrates its 40th birthday this year, when they brought Danny Zuko - aka John - on stage.

    Sadly, he didn't deliver any of his trademark dance moves or even treat us to his impressive falsetto, deciding instead to wander off looking mildly awkward.

    Less T-Bird and more tea-break.

    The British singer held back tears as she paid tribute to the late Swedish DJ and producer Avicii as she took to the stage at the 538Koningsdag Festival in the Netherlands on Friday.

    She then performed Lonely Together, the track they wrote together and released in 2017.

    "It's going to be hard for me to song this next song," she said,

    Avicii died at the age of 28 in Oman earlier this month and the cause of death is yet to be released.

    Rapper takes on the people in one of two newly-previewed tracks

    As well as being an armchair philosopher (scroll down for one of his latest crackers) Kanye has got back to the business of making new beats.

    Over the weekend Yeezy previewed two new tracks on his website, external; firstly, Lift Yourself Up, which contains the rapper, inexplicably spitting the lyrics "Poopy-di scoop / Scoop-diddy-whoop", over a choir of females singing the rather more reasonable refrain "Lift yourself up off your feet / Let's get it on."

    Let's hope that's just a demo for now and that Kanye's words are just holding lyrics.

    Radio 1 brekky show host Nick Grimshaw has kindly transcribed the whole lot for us, so we don't have to...

    Track two, Ye vs The People, sees Kanye put his backing of Donald Trump to music in a rap battle with T.I., who is heard putting forward the opposite argument.

    It's pretty good but there's lots of swearing, so you have been warned.

    The song sees Kanye - who last week, not so cryptically, tweeted the presidential voting year "2024" - argue that "ever since Trump won it proved that I can be president."

    So it seems Ye is serious about this, after all.

    He goes on; "You just reading the headlines you don't read the fine print."

    Before adding; "All blacks gotta be democrats, we ain't made it off the plantation."

    His counterpart then begs the question; "Don't you feel an obligation?, to which Kanye responds: "I feel the obligation to show people new ideas...

    "Make America Great Again had a negative perception / I took it and give it a new direction"

    New direction, same old hat though.

    Elsewhere, Kanye's latest Twitter frenzy included him paying tribute to gun control activist Emma Gonzalez, who survived the shootings at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in February, during which seventeen people lost their lives.

    Kanye's pal Donald stated after the attack that teachers should be armed with guns to avoid more shootings from taking place.

    A further tweet showed Kanye with a fresh hair trim and was also tagged "inspired by Emma".

    Emma responded to Kanye by posting her respect for her hero... and guess what; it wasn't Kanye.

    Instead she posted a pic of James Shaw Jr, the Waffle House employee in Antioch, Tennesse, who confronted a gunman who killed four people at his restaurant on 22 April, grabbing the weapon and saving the lives of several customers and employees.

    Kanye was not even tagged into the tweet.

    Miley Cyrus has publicly taken back an apology she made as a 15-year-old, for sitting for a 'nude' shoot for celeb photographer Annie Leibovitz.

    She appeared in the artful black and white shot in 2008 for Vanity fair magazine, covered by a white sheet, but after facing criticism, said she was sorry - adding she was "so embarrassed" by the picture.

    Taking to Twitter, the now-25-year-old singer and actress has now claimed "I'M NOT SORRY".

    First up today, the Essex singer, who released her long-awaited (we're talking three whole years) debut album Speak Your Mind on Friday, celebrated by slipping into her best red dress and singing some songs for the gathered crowds at the BBC's Sounds Like Friday Night.

    Check out her performance of new single 2002, which was co-written by her pal and this summer's touring buddy Ed, of the Sheeran variety.

    We caught up with Anne-Marie last week to discuss the record and why she gave so many opportunities to fellow female songwriters.

    Joining her on Friday's show was MNL Newbie Tuesday alumni artist Isaac Gracie who wore his best hat for the occasion.

    We hope you all had a fun-packed weekend, like that man above, Kanye West, who previewed his first new material in two years.
