There's a new music video from Bjork that will send you into a trance and also news of Ryan Adams putting himself forward for the role of "cyborg fish and chip shop owner" in Coronation Street. Honestly.

Good luck to anyone starting their University Freshers Week. Playing us out today (above) are a pair of rock 'n' roll professors, who delivered a joint lesson in how to smash a stadium gig at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday night.

We can definitely all learn a thing or two from these guys.

Finally...

Morrissey fans out there might want to set your alarms for this one.

His new single will get its world exclusive play on Chris Evans' Radio 2 breakfast show tomorrow after 08:00 BST.

Don't worry, many of you can spend the rest of the day in bed once you've heard it.

His 11th solo studio album Low In High School is out on 17 November.

Here we were thinking that surely no one could improve on a Justin Bieber song but Sigrid has managed to prove us wrong with a haunting rendition of Friends, Justin's recent collaboration with producer Bloodpop.

Have a look/listen above.

She was undead in the music video for Look What You made Me Do.

Now, here's what Taylor had to go through to become a brain-feasting pop monster.

Surely just getting bitten by a walker would have been easier?

So Ringo wasn't the only British musical icon to release a new album on Friday (scroll down for more on that).

Gary Numan's latest effort Savage (Songs from a Broken World) arrived into the actual world in time for the weekend.

He told 6 Music's Steve Lamacq how a happy life led him to delve into a post global warming apocalyptic world on the record.

He said: "Normally I write things about the most recent personal crisis. But with this one - I didn't have one!

"Life's pretty good. So I thought 'what to write about?' I've got no problems...so I'll invent a crisis and write about that."

Two strikes - not three - and you're out. That's the rule with Tyler, the Creator it seems.

The US rapper (below) has explained that he originally wrote a song called See You Again for former One Direction star Zayn Malik (above).

However he claims Zayn "flaked on studio time twice" so he kept the song for himself.

The track appears on the rapper's latest album, Flower Boy, and features vocals performed by Kali Uchis.

Could've been glorious, now I guess we'll never know.

Publisher Jann Wenner, who founded Rolling Stone magazine in his loft 50 years ago is selling his controlling stake in the magazine.

The 71-year-old told New York Times that letting go was the "smart thing to do".

Jan, who runs Wenner Media with his son said he hoped to remain at Rolling Stone, but the decision would lie with the new owner.

Last year he sold a 49% stake in the mag to Singapore-based BandLab Technologies.

"Publishing is a completely different industry than what it was," he said. "The trends go in one direction, and we are very aware of that."

Jann's interview subjects have included Bono and his famous 1970 post-Beatles breakup interview, external with John Lennon.

He was made a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1983.

If you're going to name check a famous friend, then you could do worse than the material girl herself.

Rita Ora performed her take on the classic Like Virgin for Live Lounge month.

"This my idol," she told host Clara Amfo, "I really want to have a sleepover with her.

"You know in your head when you have this idea of somebody? She is just great.

"She's a major."

One year on from his death, legendary crooner Leonard Cohen will be remembered with a concert in his native Montreal - his family announced today.

Cohen died aged 82 in his adopted home of Los Angeles last November.

Now a tribute concert will see the likes of Sting, Elvis Costello and US composer Philip Glass perform at the city's Bell Centre on 6 November, with funds going to benefit Canadian arts groups.

Other performers will include fellow Canadian singers k.d. lang and Feist, as well as Lana Del Rey, Damien Rice and Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers.

Leonard's son Adam, who arranged only a small memorial service at his father's request, said:

Well you'd better be.

The American rockers, who have opened their own pop up pub in London to mark the release of their new album Concrete & Gold have also joined Londoner James Corden in his car for a singalong.

The feature will air this week on The Late Late show.

Given that Justin Timberlake appears on the new record, will we see Dave and the gang go full pop? Or will they keep on rocking in the free world?

We'll find out in the coming days.

The band play London's O2 Arena on Tuesday and the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday to help mark Jools Holland's 51st series (scroll down).

The band's new album is also heading for this week's number one, currently outselling the rest of the Top 10 combined.

That makes it all but certain to earn the group their fourth chart topper in the UK.

Way to go Dave (and band...)

He doesn't east cheese but he will accept the offer of a slice of pizza.

There's one for free...but who's his favourite footballer - Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

We bring you the news worth knowing people...

Certainly one of the most exotic Live Lounges of Live Lounge Month thus far, as Miley performed in front of her own Rainbowland Studio in her garden at her house in Malibu.

You can check out the full performance, including a cover of a Roberta Flack classic as well.

Its not just us who loves the Live Lounges, the artists themselves seem to be getting a feel for it.

Sam Smith's new single Too Good at Goodbyes went straight in at numer one after we left you on Friday.

It means that Sam joins a list of stars including Sir Rod Stewart, Queen, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber in having had six number ones.

In fact only six men have had more UK chart-toppers; namely Sir Cliff Richard, Calvin Harris, George Michael, Elton John, Tinie Tempah and Robbie Williams.

Check out the track and his brand new video below.

In keeping with the laugh-riot theme of his song, it features lots of Sam staring meaningfully at the camera or wistfully off into the middle distance.

While Sam may be well-accustomed to the top of the charts over here, US indie band The National find themselves there for the first time, having secured their first Number one album with Sleep Well Beast.

The band will play at Vicar Street in Dublin tonight, before embarking on a UK tour.

So plenty of people to thank in person then.

Ringo Starr released his 19th solo album on Friday with the semi-threatening title Give More Love (only joking Ringo, we think it's a mighty fine idea).

Guest stars on the record include Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmidt from The Eagles, Edgar Winter, Peter Frampton, Benmont Tench from The Heartbreakers, Dave Stewart... and some bloke called Paul McCartney.

The former Beatle spoke to 6 Music's Matt Everitt this morning about his eternal (non-political) optimism.

Now, for one of the more bizarre music stories of the day.

What do US rock stars do during their downtime on a UK tour? Watch Corrie of course.

Country blues rocker Ryan Adams has been doing exactly that in hotel rooms up and down the country. It set his mind wandering into potential acting roles on the show and he asked fans online who could "hook me up".

Now following an amusing online exchange between the singer and the show itself, Ryan tweeted to announce that he will in fact play a "time traveling cyborg fish and chips shop owner".

He may have jumped the gun slightly though as the idea is yet to get past the show's bosses. But things look promising...

Perhaps the long-running ITV soap opera wants to go in a more fantastical Game of Thrones style direction.

Either way, Corrie fan Ryan is now being guaranteed a "free hotpot" in The Rovers from Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor.

What rock 'n' roll rider would be complete without some of Betty's finest hot pot?

BBC Radio 2

Later this week, artists including Foo Fighters, Paul Weller and Van Morrison will help Jools Holland celebrate 25 years of the BBC's music show Later with...

The show is about to kick off its 51st series, something Jools said was a massive surprise, telling Chris Evans: "I didn't think I'd ever hear the expression Later... with Jools Holland series two. Let alone 51!

"The music keeps it alive not me," he said, "and there's always something new and exciting to hear or old and familiar."

Here's an "old familiar" one from the archive, the very first series no less, and K.D. Lang.

The Later 25 show will broadcast on Saturday 23 September on BBC TWO.

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino has teased that he's lining up work on a new mixtape with Chance the Rapper.

The rapper/comedian made history last night as the first black person to win an Emmy for directing a comedy show. The 33-year-old picked up gongs for directing and playing the lead acting role in his comedy series Atlanta.

When asked about his music, backstage in the winners' room, he said: "I don't ever want to do anything because I'm forced to. I think once you start to do that things start to get bad and you jump the shark.

"Also I feel like if I don’t make a Chance the Rapper mixtape, like a double mixtape, a bunch of 14-year-olds will kick my ass."

He added: "I feel like I've got to do something, I probably will."

Stay tuned folks.

In the meantime check out his full backstage Q & A below, in his "Willy Wonka" suit and a message of congrats from Mr B Mars.

Another lady who knows all about the demands of touring is Madonna.

Madge spoke to BBC Music reporter Mark Savage on the phone on Friday (not a call you want to miss) and she told him about her desire to "reinvent pop tours".

Twenty-seven years ago, she set the template for modern pop concerts with her Blond Ambition world tour and now it seems she's ready for the next phase.

"I've done so many shows - world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it - that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too", she explained.

The 59-year-old's Tears of a Clown show - which combined music and storytelling - could be the template for her next tour.
