This is extremely refreshing; Jersey's artistic community calls for its very own "music strategy" and "a high value, multi-purpose venue" to help develop the island's music scene. Anyone fancy a new venture? #independentvenues

I popped into this quirky and thought-provoking exhibition on Sunday. From the mundane to the thoroughly life-changing, to the downright hilarious, there's no getting away from the pivotal role that email plays in most of our lives. Well worth a visit.

Intrigued to see how this partnership develops as Camden's Koko launches 'The Marshall Vinyl Room' in its members club, The House of Koko. Hopefully the space will become a genuine listening hub, putting a spotlight on emerging artists:

It's been a pleasure working with "alternative cabaret godfathers" The Tiger Lillies and their 'From the Circus to the Cemetery' best-of tour over these past few months. This is a great read with their frontman Martyn Jacques.

A very interesting development. Perhaps gamified learning is the way forward in order to keep young people engaged when it comes to picking up a new instrument and music theory? (via @MusicAlly)
