To Hell With Poverty!, the new memoir from Gang Of Four singer, singer, lyricist and producer Jon King, is an account of his journey from South London slum to recording at Abbey Road with all the twists and turns of navigating the capricious music industry along the way. There are tales of band bust-ups and reconciliation, making the cover of the NME, getting chucked off Top Of The Pops, having their music censored (twice) and crashing and burning in America.

Neither of the couples in The Good Life have children. This is an essential point for understanding both the absurdity of their housing situation, and how hints of wife-swapping start to creep into the story.

Den Haag’s Rewire: a festival of startling contrast and quiet provocation. The scale and quality of the programme and a seemingly never-ending timetable led to some wild thoughts by the last day. Frazzled imaginings such as: what actually is music nowadays, or where it should be performed, or, even, are we experiencing a new form of romantic expression, floated through my mind.

What will life be like in 1000 years? Will humans still exist? Will there be a recognisable London? Such are the idle thoughts that flow to mind as I stand on Trinity Buoy Wharf, downriver from the City, upriver from the Thames Barrier. It’s hard to visualise how much can and will change in such a span of time. 1000 years ago, this harbour landscape was primarily marshland, with what locals there were fixated on the threat of Viking attacks, portentous comets, Messianic returns and the end of days.

'Grand Voyage considerably ups the fun dosage, their prior work despondent by comparison. The serotonin hits come so thick and fast you could fear running up quite the fun deficit. Music made by comedown deniers.' Tapeworms - Grand Voyage https://t.co/0tgIas1JS2 https://t.co/62C5MDHfIq
.@TobyManning revisits how Prince's oft-overlooked seventh album dared to draw on 60s psychedelia at the height of 80s hippyphobia – and how doing so produced the most countercultural sounding work of his career #Prince’s Around the World in a Day turns 40 today! https://t.co/Cw8mcsSWAL
'In Raven Chacon’s music, listening is about paying attention to silence as much as sound. Listen closer and find that so much lives inside: the weight of history, the power of protest, the resonance of performing spaces.' #RavenChacon - Voiceless Mass https://t.co/Mc63JOeJTp https://t.co/Ky1E13ByT4
