    BBC 6 Music

    Finally today...

    Everybody's favourite lo fi Amsterdam rockers Pip Blom have shared the second track from their new AA-side 7 inch vinyl.

    Old school there from the Dutch indie kids.

    Speaking of School, their new track of the same name was given a spin by 6 Music DJ and official fan Marc Riley last night ahead of their gig at The Peer Hat in Manchester tonight.

    He even managed to photobomb their band photo (above)

    After that they'll head down to London for a gig at the Shacklewell Arms tomorrow, before ending their UK tour in Brighton at the brilliantly-named Sticky Mike's Frog Bar on Friday.

    So hop to it if you want tickets for that one and check them out above.

    So while the rest of the planet is going goo goo over the impeding royal wedding, we are asking the most important question here on MNL:

    What will be the soundtrack to their first dance?

    Some Stormzy perhaps with Blinded By Your Grace? Or maybe Prince Harry's more of a Madness fan, therefore It Must be Love.

    For his big bro, it was the lilting tones of Ellie Goulding.

    Here are some more examples of songs that Royals have danced their first dance to in the past.

    Might we offer a humble suggestion?...

    That's right, the actor made a fine cameo as a trusted bartender, while the U2 singer belted out a rendition of One For My Baby by Ol' Blue Eyes.

    Coldplay's Chris Martin also tinkled the ivories on a big red piano and sang a verse himself to allow the Irishman to get stuck into his cocktail.

    No this isn't just a mad mad dream...

    The performance was on Jimmy Kimmel's US TV chat show as part of the (RED)'s Shopathon charity effort to help fight Aids.

    Plenty of US rap news for you today you lucky things, but this is one that all you fans of UK indie-pop will enjoy too.

    That's as Grammy-nominated hip hop star Logic has teamed up with Sussex's own Rag N' Bone Man on a new track.

    Broken People will provide the soundtrack for the new Will Smith Netflix fantasy crime feature Bright and the video sees the former Fresh Prince star cruise around the mean streets of LA in a police car searching for misbehaving humans, orcs and other creatures while Logic/Rag 'n' Bone Man's lyrics appear painted on walls.

    Logic, who was recognised by the Recording Academy yesterday in the song of the year category for his hit single, 1-800-273-8255, swears in the new track though so sadly we can't bring you the music video here...

    But you can find it easily in the usual places.

    The full soundtrack for the movie is due out on 13 December and also features tracks from Ty Dolla $ign, Migos, A$AP Rocky, Tom Morello, Alt-J, Lil Uzi Vert, and an even more surprising collab between Canadian rock legend Neil Young and US rapper DRAM.

  9. King Krule's Biscuit Town is Hottest Recordpublished at 11:52 GMT 29 November 2017

    BBC Radio 1

    It's like Tinsel Town but a bit more crumbly...

    The track is taken from the 23-year-old Londoner's third studio album The Ooz.

    It's KK - aka Archy Marshall's ode to Bermondsey, in the south east of the city centre.

    "I make music for the sake of it, for my own personal narcissism," he tells Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac.

    Good a reason as any.

    "But also there's still part of that fanboy in me, when I meet Ray [Davies] or Paul McCartney. These are people that are my mentors...

    "And the same thing with Smokey [Robinson]... these are people who taught me how to write a song."

    The US burlesque dancer - and former beau of another of today's featured artists Marilyn Manson (scroll down) - is dreaming about somebody coming back to her in her debut track Rendez-vous.

    The song will feature on her inaugural self-titled album, which arrives in February.

    It was produced by French singer-songwriter Sebastian Tellier, whose wife Dean de La Richardiere wrote the track (below), "about a woman taking control of her freedom, and of her hunger for pleasure”.

    Tellier said: "When I saw Dita dance to a piece of music I had written for her, I had a feeling that her physical presence and her personality were a perfect fit with my music and I started to compose only for her.

    When you think that you’ve finally pierced Dita’s mystery, she turns out to be more than ever, a creature of dreams, totally out of reach."

    Dita added: “I’m not a professional singer. In fact, I’m quite uneasy about recording my voice. But I do enjoy the thrill of doing things that are outside of my comfort zone."

    The 45-year-old isn't the only dancer/model to make the move into the world of music.

    "I love her. And she loves him. But wait, he loves me."

    What to do?

  14. Q-Tip is NOT HAPPY at Tribe Called Quest Grammy snubpublished at 09:55 GMT 29 November 2017

    Q-TipImage source, Getty Images

    Rapper Q-Tip has taken to Instagram for an epic rant about his perceived snub by the Grammy awards for the final A Tribe Called Quest album.

    Released in November 2016, We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service sneaked into the eligibility period for the 2018 Grammys.

    It was the final album featuring founding member Phife Dawg, who died in March 2016.

    Despite being named in many 'best of 2016' lists, the album failed to get a single nomination when they were announced yesterday.

    To make matters worse, the hip hop collective performed at the 2017 ceremony in January.

    In a series of expletive-filled posts on Instagram - which we obviously can't bring you here but are easy enough to find - a clearly upset Tip said: “I’m sick of y’all.

    Quote Message

    You got us to get out there to perform last year and y’all don’t give us no ******* nominations? What happened?”

    It took Q-Tip five videos to fully express his dissatisfaction with the Recording Academy.

    "Y’all think it’s some sort of caveat because this is the first time that no white man wasn’t nominated in no major categories?

    We were the most black cultured group out. That’s all we stood on. That’s what we represented."
