Have been loving this new @CymandeOfficial track. Patrick Patterson’s guitar part evokes their seventies heyday with style, and Jazzie B conjures up memories of Soul II Soul. open.spotify.com/track/4jOiGv9c…

@CymandeOfficial @BBCLater @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer The new song sounds great! Amazing to see you guys on tv. The interview segment is short but PP’s joke about the year you got going is fun.

We brought our signature sound to @bbclater... with Jools Holland, performing our latest song 'Chasing an Empty Dream' and more 🕊️ Catch the full performance now on @bbctwo and stream it on @bbciplayer: heyor.ca/BTK9Ap ✨ #Cymande #JoolsHolland #ChasingAnEmptyDream

Today marks the 51st anniversary of Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking album, "Head Hunters." This album not only changed the trajectory of Hancock’s career but also left an indelible mark on music history... But what makes it so legendary? A thread🧵

This is not good news for cycling in the UK. Firstly, I'd like to say that there are a lot of passionate cycling fans working at WBD, in front of and behind the scenes. The company is automatically 'disliked' by a cohort of the general public because it's a huge international conglomerate, but Eurosport have been showcasing cycling since 1991. They have, and continue to do a hell of a lot for our sport. On the flip side, exclusivity on the biggest race in the world, the ONLY race where non-cycling fans might tune is, is very worrying. It's a significant barrier to entry into what is already a relatively niche sport in the UK. ITV not only do a fantastic job themselves of broadcasting the race, live and with easily accessible highlights, they provide a gateway to WBD. The fans they 'convert' each July are more likely to subscribe to Discovery+/Max/Eurosport once they've realised how amazing our sport is. They must have made lifelong cycling fans of millions of people over the last few decades (including me). Anyway, I really feel for Ned, Dave, Pete, Matt, Daniel, Gary and all the others behind the ITV production - thank you for all you've done for the sport.

Really saddened that ITV will not be able to show Le Tour after next year. Its history on ITV goes back almost 60 years when it started on London Weekend TV with David Saunders. Big thoughts to @millarmind and @nedboulting

Hey, y'all! Still + Bright is out! It marks my evolution as an artist and reconnects me with my spiritual path. This time, I'm inspired by my observations and favorite stories. Grateful for your support—let’s let go, live, and sing together! 💙☯️🧡

Wonderful to see the Warburg transformation completed. The best outcome after years of uncertainty for the Institute. Congratulations! theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Euston is easily, easily the worst main station in Western Europe. It’s like being taken away to be machine gunned in the woods by various mobile phone and soft drinks companies. Congrats to everyone involved
