Addicted to this lovely new Andrew Bird tune from Hands of Glory, his companion record to Break It Yourself which is out soon. It also sends our excitment for his return into overdrive. There’s still a few tickets if you fancy seeing Bird cap a triumphant year at the Roundhouse.

Django Django nominated for Mercury Prize
We’re hugely excited at the nomination of Django Django last night for this year’s Mercury Prize. The EYOE and Field Day favourites join Lianne La Havas (Apple Cart Festival) and Jessie Ware (Field Day) on an interesting list, missing a good deal of our tips that we posted last week, but as always the panel challenge and surprise in equal measure.

Kindness - That's Alright (Video)
If you haven’t clocked on to Kindness videos being basically the best things ever then this new one for That’s Alright should tip you over the edge. Trouble Funk jump on the stage for a raucous take on one of our favourite Kindness songs. His live show always feels like a party (find out on 7th November in London) and this video is the perfect encapsulation of that.
