The best band in the world.
The catchiest, if not particularly representative track from True Romance - Charli XCX's debut album.

Who would have guessed that Avril Lavigne would deliver one of the 2013′s most incredible choruses? Yet here we are, with ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’, which has just appeared in full. We were big fans of the songtitle as soon as we first saw the single artwork. Artists like Avril Lavigne are often stuck in pop’s perpetual teenager role and ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’ felt like a slightly meta joke regarding Lavigne, as a singer, giving up on any attempt to mature as an artist. We love it even more now we’ve heard the song, which is not exactly light on the tune front.

I mention West because the summing-up by Mrs Justice Thirlwall – whom you may have noticed to be a female judge – raised in my mind several stomach-churning similarities between the two cases. Thirlwall issued a judgement so razor-sharp that when I read the full transcript I felt like punching the air. Because while the nation bickered about Philpott’s access to housing benefit, Thirlwall spelled out the true matter at hand about Philpott’s systematic campaigns reaching back over 40 years of violence, mental abuse, manipulation and blackmail against vulnerable women. She spelled out why many men like Philpott – regardless of class – have multitudes of children. Thirlwall was determined there would be no neat summations of Philpott’s unfortunate “mistake” in 2012, because this was a far longer, detailed story that needed telling.
The best article I've read on the Philpott case.
Sounds exactly how you'd expect J Mascis & Sharon van Etten covering John Denver would.
By which I mean it sounds fantastic.
The standout track on the tribute album which also features Kathleen Edwards, Evan Dando and Brandi Carlile.
Funky.
