OneRepublic have been on a Twitter frenzy sharing details of their forthcoming album, which they "hand in" to the record company very soon, and which sounds like it will be called Oh My My.
Frontman Ryan Tedder also revealed the 16 track album will take in ballads, gospel, acoustic and dance moments - and that they will be finishing it in London and swiftly heading to the pub. So keep your eyes peeled if you are in the vicinity...
Bjork beamed into a press conference at Somerset House in London earlier from 1,200 miles away in Reykjavík - with the help of a live motion capture avatar.
Her movements and voice were captured by computer graphics thanks to a team in Iceland who streamed her into London for a Q&A launching the new Björk: Digital exhibition.
You can check out what she looked like as a moving avatar below...
She posted on Facebook and Instagram that she has four virtual reality videos ready for the exhibition and will be adding one in each city it goes to.
She said she hopes to complete her album this year "choosing various warehouses and galleries that exhibit work from all disciplines".
And she waxed lyrical about Virtual Reality (VR).
Quote Message: I am very happy with being the pop musician I am and feel VR is a natural continuity of the pop video. Technology is enabling women to work outside the already formed hierarchical systems. The laptop arriving 1999 gave me a personal studio to make Vespertine, the touchscreen 2006 helped me map my own idiosyncratic musicology outside the classical canon and reconnect it with nature and make Biophilia. VR is helping make a new stage free of politics where sound and vision is swirling free in 360 fully liberated.

“Millennials are powerful. I don’t think they realise just how powerful they are... I hope this song inspires the millennials to go all out, scream from the tallest mountain, care like your freedom depends on it. Pay attention like that is at risk.”
Fresh from playing Reading and Leeds at the weekend, The Courteeners have shared a second track from their forthcoming new album - a "British summertime love story" called No One Will Ever Replace Us.
Frontman Liam Fray says the track is "about finding love in the unlikely surroundings of Glastonbury."
He adds: "There's almost an under-pinning fear about when you've got something so good, and you don't want it to end."
Their fifth album Mapping the Rendezvous is due on 21 October.
The band have also just announced their biggest UK tour to date kicking off on 10 November at Stoke On Trent's Victoria Hall and winding up at Leeds First Direct Arena on the 25 November...

Blurred Lines appeal gets support from 200 musicians
The Hollywood Reporter
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Musicians from R Kelly to Hans Zimmer, Jennifer Hudson to members of Fall Out Boy are backing an appeal against the Blurred Lines verdict, calling the copyright infringement case "very dangerous to the music community".
Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke and rapper TI (aka Clifford Harris Jr) recently launched a bid to overturn the $5.3m (£4.03m) final judgement, which accused them of ripping off Marvin Gaye's 1977 track Got to Give It Up on their hit Blurred Lines.
Now 212 artists have filed what's called an amicus brief with the Court of Appeals, including Earth, Wind & Fire, members of Linkin Park, The Black Crowes, Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and John Oates of Hall & Oates.
Acting as "friends" or "amici" they warn:
Quote Message: The verdict in this case threatens to punish songwriters for creating new music that is inspired by prior works. All music shares inspiration from prior musical works, especially within a particular musical genre. By eliminating any meaningful standard for drawing the line between permissible inspiration and unlawful copying, the judgement is certain to stifle creativity and impede the creative process. The law should provide clearer rules so that songwriters can know when the line is crossed, or at least where the line is.

They add this case is "unique" because the two tracks "do not have similar melodies; the two songs do not even share a single melodic phrase."
They suspect the jury perceived similarity in the overall "feel" or "groove" and point out that Gaye himself was heavily influenced by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Smokey Robinson and James Brown.
The 24-year-old says she needs time out to face her health issues "head on" in a statement to People magazine:
Quote Message: As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways. I've discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges. I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.
