Scroll down for new music (and a killer workout) from punk duo Slaves and Death Cab for Cutie, plus Haim refuse to take pay disparity lying down, tour news from David Byrne, a waxwork Ed Sheeran and some amazing live performances from Later... with Jools.

We'll leave you with this time-lapse video of artist Giovanni Contardi creating a portrait of rock's Mr Nice Guy David Grohl using Rubik's Cubes.

We always thought the man had more sides to him.

The electronic artist is getting shot of his entire collection to raise funds for vegan-friendly not-for-profit medical organisation, The Physicians Committee.

Moby said it includes punk rock, hip hop and house music with a few "odd obscurities" thrown in for good measure.

He tweeted picture of a DJing dog.

Wonder if he's any relation to Tinie's fashion pup?

Rebecca Ferguson has started a petition calling for an independent body to oversee the music industry.

Speaking to 5 live, Rebecca said an ombudsman would address wrongdoing and disputes with labels, management and promoters.

Her concerns range from bullying and harrassment to artists being financially ripped off.

She has previously written about being left feeling suicidal due to bullying , externaland said artists should not be expected "to be slaves, to be abused, to be misunderstood or targeted"

Listen above.

It's the B-side (anyone remember them?) from latest single, It’s A Beautiful World, from his Cosmic Pop album, Who Built the Moon?.

It contains the type of vague religious imagery that the former Oasis man has made his signature down the years.

Listen below and sha-la-la along if you want to.

Well there's not long left for the BBC's famous Maida Vale studios, so after the Arctic Monkeys last week Radio 1 have wisely snuck another big star in for a live session.

Lily sang tracks from her new album No Shame for Annie Mac and some gathered fans.

If you've got a spare half an hour this afternoon you can listen to the full set above.

Lily spoke to the BBC about the new record, her demons and divorce... but still managed to have a right old laugh in the process.

Bad news for anyone who was planning on heading down to Margate in September to see some music.

Organisers have announced that "a recent decrease in the saleable indoor capacity" of one of the main venues at the Dreamland site, has made it impossible for them to host the event as planned.

The festival, which last year saw The Libertines headline the final night, will apparently be back in earnest in 2019.

So don't sell your beach bat and ball just yet.

Classical music suffers from a "sense of entitlement" and needs to learn lessons from other, more "provocative" genres, says composer Alexis Ffrench.

Ffrench who will perform at Wednesday night's Classic Brits, external, says orchestras and musicians need to take more chances if the genre is to survive.

He cites Childish Gambino (above right) aka Donald Glover and Snoop Dogg as artists "doing daring things" that the classical world could emulate.

"I think we could perhaps borrow more from other art forms," he argues.

"Often we can be complacent - and there's a sense of entitlement about the art form, that it sits in the hierarchy above all other styles of music.

The composer will perform his single Bluebird alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (above) and South African soprano Pretty Yende, as well as his own daughter/ballet dancer Savannah.

The night will be hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Myleene Klass and they think it's going to be memorable night, for new and old fans of classical music.

The rapper and producer walked the runway at his own fashion show on Tuesday, modelling some classic camo pattern shorts with a serious orange jumper and matching socks.

We're not sure whether the dog is part of the the look but he does an amazing Blue Steel, external.

Fashion. It's a dog's life.

Well, lets face it, its better that Ricky Wilson and Freddie Flintoff's effort.

The CBeebies dog scout leader, Duggee has given England stars Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (below) something to get down to on the team bus in Russia.

Join in if you know the words.

Good luck to manager Gareth Southgate and the boys and at least one of us will be singing for England.

A new survey of the 2018-19 seasons of 15 of the world's top orchestras has found that fewer than 3% of the pieces to be performed were composed by a woman.

The study, conducted by Donne Women in Music and Drama Musica found that, of more than 1400 concerts in the coming season, only 76 of them will include at least one piece by a woman composer.

The orchestras, ranked by Gramaphone magazine, external, includes the London Symphony Orchestra (pictured above), the New York Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic.

More than 3500 works will be performed, only 82 of which were written by women composers.

Check out the stats below.

Launched on International Women's Day 2018, Donne is an ongoing project that aims to champion equality for women composers.

Thirteen year old Courtney Hadwin from Hartlepool left the judges, including Mel B, and audience opened-mouthed on the TV talent show when she pulled out a hair-swinging rendition of Otis Redding's Hard to Handle.

Stalking the stage, the hitherto nervy teen, threw herself into the classic tune like a dervish (check it out above).

"Bloody hell Courtney,” said judge Simon Cowell following the performance. “You were this shy little thing when you came out. Then you sing and you’re like a lion."

It earned her the fabled Golden buzzer which took her straight through to the live shows.

We should say at this point that she has already been a finalist on The Voice Kids UK so is no stranger to a big stage.

Elsewhere, 17-year-old singer Sarah Ikumu is still buzzing after receiving the golden buzzer herself when she auditioned for the British version of the talent show.

Sarah told BBC Africa’s One Minute Stories about how she balances school work and her blossoming career, which has also seen her appear on Live at the Apollo in the US.

Basically, the Brits are taking over.

But which one?...

Clue, it's the one who hasn't shaved his whiskers.

No?

It's Ed obviously, his new waxwork bizarrely stopped off at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium in London on its way to Madame Tussauds.

Apparently it's a tribute to Ed's own love of cats.

Claire Treacy from MT London, told the Press Association: "We've been getting requests for a long time, literally one a week, saying, 'When are you going to add Ed?'.

"So we thought the best time to do it would be when he's on his mammoth tour and he's coming to Wembley so this felt like the perfect week."

We're just thinking out loud but we bet she was proud of that one.

Pur-fect piece of PR.

Gaz Coombes played tracks from his new solo album, World's Strongest Man, on Later... with Jools Holland, last night.

The former Supergrass man can still knock out a tune and wear a trilbee with the best of them.

Check him out above.

Also on the show were sarf London punks Goat Girl, who come from the same Brixton rock scene as our featured Newbie Tuesday band from yesterday, Shame.

There must be something in that Thames water, flowing south.

The Girls have some pretty impressive-looking mascots too, watch below.

Chas & Dave took the opportunity last night to showcase a new ukele song about their old fishing pal, called Where He Is Now?

Maybe he just went to get some more maggots.

You can watch that below too and check out the show in full - which also features Nile Rodgers' Chic, Cosha aka Bonzai, Mura Masa, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Nakhane - on BBC Two, Saturday at 22;45 BST.

The Chicago rapper has been taking time out from working on a third new album of the year - this time with Nas - to rewatch the anti-superhero films.

He explained on Twitter that he thinks the soundtracks, which include songs by Cher, Skrillex and Dolly Parton, sound familiar to his ear.

There's no copyright case pending, however, after Kanye praised the filmmakers for being "innovative".

He just thinks he deserves a bit of credit where it's due, that's all.

Deadpool aka Wade Winston Wilson himself has responded... or at least the actor who plays him, Ryan Reynolds has.

He agrees with Kanye.

He even went a step further and promised to "have a word" with his pal Celine Dion, who sings Ashes from the movie sequel.

Celine then got involved, suggesting a Yeezy remix to the above track.

Now that, we would like to hear.

'Course you do.

On Tuesday's MNL, we told you about Captain Six-Pack's latest role, voicing a character in the new Thomas the Tank Engine movie.

He's voicing Ace, described as "a bright yellow and very cheeky Australian rally car" (pictured above).

Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie" is out on 20 July and Peter's recorded a new song called Free and Easy.

Here's that short clip.

Totally worth it...

The enigmatic frontman will be touring these shores in October/November and you can check out the full dates above.

David - who is originally from Dumbarton in Scotland - appears to have left the American Utopia name on the tour, so maybe that's just a state of mind rather a location.

Support will come from eccentric London singer Benjamin Clementine.

The Australian pop rockers returned to the lounge to perform tracks from their forthcoming album Youngblood, which is out on Friday.

They also knocked out a harmony-packed rendition of Alice Merton's No Roots for host Clara Amfo.

Listen to the full session above and check out a sample of their cover below.

The Los Angeles trio of sisters apparently cut ties with the unnamed agent following a booking at an unnamed festival, where they learned they were being paid ten times less than a male artist on the same bill.

“We had been told that our fee was very low because you played at the festival in the hope you’d get played on the radio,” Danielle Haim told Grazia magazine, external.

"We didn’t think twice about it, but we later found out that someone was getting paid 10 times more than us. And because of that we fired our agent."

Singer and guitarist Danielle went on to praise her siblings she would trust them with her life adding: "We’re all in this together…”

Sister Alana - who plays drums and keys added: "To be paid a tenth of that amount of money? It was insane."

The girls are laying at Ally Pally in London on Friday.

Billy McFarland, the man who admitted fraud charges over a "luxury" music festival in the Bahamas which ended up resembling a scene from a refugee camp, is now facing new charges.

He is set to be sentenced this month after pleading guilty to wire fraud over the event which was indefinitely postponed after some festival-goers had already arrived, finding tents and prepackaged sandwiches, instead of the luxury villas and gourmet meals they had been promised.

The organisers are being sued by more than $100m (£75m) in damages.

Now McFarland is facing a new set of charges related to a post-Fyre Festival ticket scam.

He's accused of running a business purporting to sell tickets to events such as the Grammys, Coachella and the Met Gala.

Customers claimed they either didn’t receive the tickets they paid for or didn’t receive the tickets that were advertised.

He's accused of profiting to the tune of $100,000 (£75,000).
