Right we are off home.

If we see Sir Macca on the way, we'll be sure to give him a wide berth if he's in storytelling mode (scroll down to find out why).

If you're hanging around in the world wide web then have a look back through some of our stories today, including the return of Wolf Alice and The Horrors, the end for Gorillaz (possibly but probably not really...) and Pet Sounds (definitely).

Plus after Katy P's olive branch to Tay Tay we look back at some great musical feuds down the years, while Ice Cube is officially a star. Quite literally.

Goodbyeeeeeeeeee.

Intensadelic?

It seems Faris and the lads have invented a new genre on new track Machine.

Sounds like Gary Numan meets Depeche Mode in a Southend arcade in the year 2030.

It's their first new music since 2014's Luminous and you can have a listen below.

The band will also now perform an intimate gig at London's Omeara on 11 July.

They were breaking out of an asylum last we saw of them in the video for You're In Love With A Psycho.

Now Serge, Tom and the boys are breaking out again in the video for new single Bless This Acid House... this time in jailhouse clothes.

But don't be fooled folks - this ain't no jailhouse.

We won't spoil the end but it seems to be a satirical comment on modern housing. Or perhaps we're reading too much into it.

Banging tune anyway.

Billboard magazine

Rappers 2 Live Crew are to get the N.W.A. and Tupac treatment and are getting their own biopic.

It will be based on band member Luther Campbell's memoir Book of Luke: My Fight for Truth, Justice and Liberty City.

The controversial hip hoppers were criticized for the sexual themes of their music and are largely remembered for their 1989 album, external As Nasty As They Wanna be, which featured a group of women in thong bikinis.

Probably best to avoid on a family day at the cinema.

...and Joel O'Keefe (below) winning the Dimebag Darrell 'Shredder' award for his 'mazin guitar playing.

Joel showing respect for Paul McCartney here by only giving the one thumbs up. He must've heard about Sir Macca's Seattle bar antics (scroll down).

Are you?

As singer Chris Martin points out in a new message - direct from their European tour - the two musical forces collided/combined on Dua's track Homesick.

But Mr Martin thinks the 21-year-old has penned the "perfect" song in new track New Rules.

It seems the love-in is mutual after Dua told BBC Music reporter Mark Savage how calm Chris makes her feel while recording.

It's nice to be nice isn't it.

Check out her full set from Radio 1's Big Weekend here and her reportedly perfect song below.

The BBC's film reviewer Mark Kermode has been taking a look back at the film The Graduate, which is 50 years old this year.

Here's Mark...

Well we hope your lunch passed okay today without any major feuds on the way to the shop.

Speaking of which, yesterday we brought you the heart-warming news that Katy Perry is finally ready to forgive Taylor Swift.

There's been bad blood, external between the two for years...

Our initial reaction other than a warm fuzzy feeling was that

1) We're not convinced we've heard the last of that one, and...

2) It's a shame if it is over because we all secretly love a good celeb feud. Don't we?

BBC entertainment reporter Steven McIntosh has been delving back through the archives for some other high-profile musical battles.

Here's five of the best - plus another two just to make sure. Including poor Taylor again v Kanye, Zayn v Naughty Boy and of course Noel v Liam (with a sub plot of Oasis v Blur for good measure).

We want a good clean fight everybody.

They are currently headed for number on in this week's album chart and to celebrate, London Grammar have been in the Radio 1 Live Lounge.

They performed their own song Oh Woman, Oh Man and we should have the full performance later.

But in the meantime, here's a snippet of their cover of Beyonce's All Night.

Brave move taking on the first lady of pop but they seem to have pulled it off.

He was one of the stars of NWA now rapper/actor Ice Cube has a star of his own on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in LA.

Former bandmate Dr. Dre was on hand, along with Ice Cube's famiy, to witness his old mucker's inauguration.

O'Shea Jackson, aka Cube, said: "You know, you don't get here by yourself and when you're coming up doing music, movies, just trying to be creative, you never figure you'll be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame one day.

"So today is not really about Ice Cube, it's about all the people who helped me get here."

Wait, did he just refer to himself in the third person?

It's always good to give your hometown a bit of support and that's exactly what R&B star The Weeknd has done in the new video for this track Secrets.

The singer is filmed moping around the, frankly stunning, Toronto Reference Library.

The Grammy-award winner is also seen moping around the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus.

Basically it involved him moping around beautiful locations.

Check out all the fun below.

Ouch.

It was accidental, mind you.

Still makes for a great story over dinner though doesn't it? Being hit by a Beatle.

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has been spinning a ripping yarn for listeners of SiriusXM about the time Macca left him "tasting blood".

Apparently the rock 'n' roll duo were shooting the breeze in a Seattle bar when Sir Paul, in full flow, mimed punching someone, but accidentally caught Vedder full on in the mouth.

The bassist apologised immediately, as Eddie recalls but he remembers "tasting a bit of blood."

A bar-room brawl with a national treasure. That's like being kissed by the Pope for Beatle-maniacs.

Hear Eddie take up the story himself below.

Not long until Glasto now folks.

Have your got your wellies yet, external? Come on, what are you waiting for?

Another thing you can do in preparation of seeing Sunday's headliner Ed Sheeran is to delve into the world of his doppleganger.

Following on from Yorkshire's answer to Dave Grohl, the next in BBC Music's My Hero series follows Jack Shepherd from Reading, as he goes about his job of imitating Ed as the Ed Sheeran Experience.

Jack is such a ringer that his own kids can't tell the difference.

Oh and it was all his wife's idea.

The band have been in to 6 Music to talk about Home Counties and where its inspirations lie.

"I'd seen a book called The Home Counties in a charity bookshop and started wondering about what the definition is, or why it's called The Home Counties, I still don't know," admitted Bob Stanley from the three-piece.

"It's kind of offensive because it suggests that nowhere else is home, nothing north of Watford."

Listen to the interview above and check out one of their new songs below.

BBC 6 Music

It's arguably the greatest album ever made and certainly inspired The Beatles to come up with their masterpiece Sgt. Pepper (according to producer George Martin and he would know)...

...now this summer is your last chance to hear it played live by the man who wrote it.

Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson is heading to the UK and Ireland this summer to perform seminal 1966 album Pet Sounds in its entirety for the final time as part of its ongoing 50th Anniversary tour.

Wouldn't it be nice to get to one of these gigs in Liverpool, Glasgow, Galway or Dublin in July/August.

Uh oh.

At 49 years-old, are Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett on the edge of a mid-life crisis?

Instead of buying a Harley Davidson or booking a trip to Machu Pichu to mark their 50th year, the lads have been busying themselves with putting out their fifth new album Humanz and hosting their own festival in Margate.

However, Jamie has now expressed his concern the end could be nigh for the animated heroes.

Speaking to the Daily Star, external, Hewlett, who started the band with the ex Blur man in 1998, is reported to have said: “We will be 50, we can’t continue doing this thing seriously for very long.

Jamie went on to suggest the animated band could continue even without them being present.

"It is the essence of the rest of the Gorillaz story, even if it is not ours necessarily."

So look out for a job advertisement soon kids: Must have experience in hip hop, animation and party-planning.

Ariana posted a rainbow coloured ribbon, external.

BBC Radio 1

DJ Annie Mac returned to Radio 1 last night after having had a wee bairn and she was back with the biggest of bangs.

London grunge rockers Wolf Alice were in the studio to witness the radio debut of their new single; the brilliantly named Yuk Foo (careful now).

Listening instructions: To be played loud.

Annie described the track as "unfettered" and "ferocious".

Singer Ellie Rowsell called it an "anthem of frustration", which is ironic given the headaches the title will be causing DJs up and down the country.

This one apparently goes out to anyone around the world who has had a bad day. So hopefully not you...or you.

Maybe play it again this afternoon if you need to.

The track will feature on their forthcoming album Visions of a Life which is out in September and you can catch the guys on tour in the UK and Ireland from November.

Check out the track/chat above and the gigs below.
