King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have announced that they will release a slightly excessive three new studio albums next month. Although that will bring them up to a total of 23 in the space of the last ten years, and in that context maybe it’s not such an over the top plan.Rather than turning up to the studio with pre-written songs and demos, the plan for this trilogy was to create music in the moment. And so, over the course of seven days, the band turned up for recording sessions with no plan but to jam, each day picking a different scale and BPM to work on.“All we had prepared as we walked into the studio were seven song titles”, says frontman Stu Mackenzie.

Gold Panda has announced that he will release his new album, ‘The Work’, later this year, with new single ‘The Corner’ out now.It samples the Dean Friedman track ‘Lydia’ which, the producer says, was given to him by a friend a few years ago.

Legal reps for Sam Smith and Normani have again called for a song theft lawsuit in relation to their song ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ to be dismissed. An amended version of that lawsuit, they argue, doesn’t address the issues they previously raised about the song-theft claim.Smith and Normani – and various other parties linked to their hit – were sued earlier this year by artist Jordan Vincent and producer Christopher Miranda who claim that ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ rips off their 2015 song ‘Dancing With Strangers’.On top of having nearly the same title and a very similar accompanying promo video to the earlier song, Smith and Normani’s ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ – it was alleged – has the same “hook, chorus, lyrics, and musical composition” as ‘Dancing With Strangers’.“It is beyond any real doubt that Smith, Normani and the other defendants copied plaintiff’s work”, the lawsuit then claimed.

Better Call Saul has come to an end, and now Bob Odenkirk is saying goodbye.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for the series finale of “Better Call Saul”The soft spoken yet pitch perfect finale of “Better Call Saul” manages to serve as both a prequel and a sequel to “Breaking Bad” as it once again revisits familiar faces from the past and provides a coda of sorts for its predecessor.

Just when it looked like Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) had finessed his way into a sweet plea agreement — just seven years at the most country club-like of correctional facilities (low-security FCI Butner Low, which even has a golfing program!) — he reversed course and confessed all, in Monday night’s series finale of AMC’s “Better Call Saul.”It was a finale rife with references to regret, time machines and how there’s “no shame in going back and changing your path,” as Chuck McGill (played by Michael McKean, who returns in a flashback) tells his younger brother.
