• This Nature feature on the musics of the brilliant satirist Tom Lehrer is a must-read.


• Lidia Abraha argues at NOW Toronto that more investment needs to be directed towards the burgeoning hip-hop talent of the city.


• Transit Toronto notes that auditions for the next crop of musicians licensed for TTC stations are now ongoing.


• Ladytron is back, Noisey notes, with a new video for their new single "The Animals".


• This article in The Independent interviewing Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox about their joint musical achievements in the Eurythmics, as their albums are set to be reissued on vinyl, makes me want to buy a record player.
