Be afraid. Be very afraid

Black Metal has been described as "the dark heart" of Norway's music scene.
Satanic imagery, deafening guitar riffs, screeching vocals, and utterly terrifying beards, it has a dedicated global following.
Now, award-winning Norwegian photographer, Jonas Bendiksen, has captured Black Metal singers in mid-flight for a new exhibition.
The results are striking. And will give you nightmares for weeks.
Zara Larsson is one of Time's 50 most influential teens

Radiohead + Glastonbury = confirmed

So, with a slight air of being underwhelmed at the lack of surprise, it is nevertheless still quite exciting that it is now indeed confirmed - Radiohead will headline Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in 2017.
After eagle-eyed fans spotted an image of what liked the demonic bear symbol of the band on the ground, Glastonbury tweeted this just a few minutes ago.
The last surviving member of original The Four Tops has revealed the Motown group almost boarded the plane that was blown up over Lockerbie in 1988.
Pan Am Flight 103 was on its way from London to New York when a bomb went off on board while it was above the Scottish borders town.
Speaking in London before attending a performance of Motown the Musical, Abdul 'Duke' Fakir explained the group were delayed by an engagement on Top of the Pops.
The 80-year-old said the group were supposed to record two performances consecutively in order to make the flight, but fate intervened.
"One of them was not going out until New Year's Eve and the producer didn't want us to play them at the same time. He wouldn't have it.
"The producer on Top of The Pops was the reason we didn't get on that plane."
Ariana Grande in character as Hairspray's Penny Pingleton

Pop star Ariana Grande will appear in a live TV production of Hairspray! this December, playing one of the two the main roles, Penny Pingleton.
She will star alongside newcomer Maddie Baillio - who won the part of Tracy Turnblad in an open casting call earlier this year.
The first photos of the cast in costume have just been released, giving fans the chance to see Ariana out of those cat ears she insists on wearing every other day of the year.
Kirstin Chenoweth and Jennifer Hudson also star in the one-off TV special, which uses the backdrop of a dance contest to tell a story about race relations in 1960s America.
Novelty song becomes shortest ever to enter US chart
Billboard magazine
A 45-second-long novelty song has become the shortest ever record to enter the US Billboard Hot 100.
Piko-Taro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) debuted at number 77 in this week's countdown.
Billboard reports the track beat a record held for more than 52 years by The Womenfolk's Little Boxes which peaked at number 83 in 1964, and lasted just one minute and two seconds.
Piko-Taro is the alias of Japanese comic and DJ Daimaou Kosaka. His chart position comes almost exclusively from 5.7 million US streams, most from YouTube.

Dutch DJ Martin Garrix has made his debut at the top of DJ Magazine's Top 100.
Last year's chart-toppers Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike finished in second with Hardwell at number three and Armin Van Buuren at number four.
The top five is rounded out by Tiesto.
"It feels unreal to have won", Garrix said in a press release. "I 100 percent did not expect it at all. I’ve had an amazing year, with awesome shows and amazing fans -- I’m so thankful for their support.
"I didn’t even do a campaign, and it just shows how dope the fanbase is.”
The highest British DJ is Calvin Harris at number 14.

The director of the cult rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap has come out in support of Derek Smalls - aka Simpsons star Harry Shearer - who is suing media company Vivendi for $125m (£101m) over the film.
The actor - who played bassist Derek Smalls in the film - has claimed he earned only $81 (£66) in merchandising income over a 22-year period and $98 (£80) for his contributions to the soundtrack.
Now the film's director Rob Reiner has said in a statement: "The artists involved in Spinal Tap deserve fair compensation for their work."

Reiner - who played Leonardo DiCaprio's dad in The Wolf of Wall Street - added: "It's impossible that Vivendi's income from music sales and merchandising totalled just $179 over a more than 20-year period."
It has been confirmed next year's Isle of Wight Festival will go ahead despite fears for its future.
This year marked the 15th anniversary of the festival's relaunch in 2002 and was headlined by artists including Queen, The Who and Faithless.
Last week, the festival's organisers dropped a request to waive the £55,000 annual fee for hiring the venue.
According to the local council, there was a "real risk" that, unless promoters Solo reduced costs or increased ticket sales, the event may be cancelled.
But that appears to have been resolved - and tickets for next year's event go on sale on Monday, 7 November at 0900 GMT.
Kings of Leon smashed it again on the Radio One Live Lounge yesterday, when they covered Selena Gomez's pop anthem Hands to Myself.
Four too-young-to-be-grizzled but still-sweaty blokes doing this sort of thing sounds wrong, but it all works surprisingly well.
Now you can watch it above.
Still we shouldn't be too surprised, their last cover in the Live Lounge was three years ago and it was was Robyn's Dancing On My Own.
In fact, now we think about it, the two covers do sound kind of similar...
Eminem has Donald Trump in his sights on new track
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Amongst a slew of other targets, Eminem has taken a square aim at presidential candidate Donald Trump in a new track which has appeared online.
The eight-minute, minimalist track Campaign Speech takes in everything from Trayvon Martin - the US teen shot dead in Florida four years ago - to Chuck Norris, Ed Norton, Robin Thicke and even the Hoff.
But it is the lyrics about Trump and his supporters that hit hardest.
"Consider me a dangerous man / But you should be afraid of this dang candidate," he spits calling the Presidential nominee a "loose cannon".
Sadly, we can't embed the song here due to its highly sweary and Eminem-y nature but if you don't mind the language - you can head to his YouTube channel to have a listen.
Classical music's "unconscious racism"
The classical music community in the UK has an "unconscious racism" that means there is an "inner club" that excludes minorities, according to composer Eleanor Alberga.
Jamaica-born Alberga, who wrote a piece for last year's Last Night of the Proms, was speaking on Wednesday at a conference about diversity in composition, organised by BBC Radio 3.
She told the conference in Manchester that when she is commissioned, "quite often an extra agenda is attached where I'm asked to write about slavery or to emphasise Afro-Caribbean influences in my music."
Quote Message: One would like simply to be commissioned regularly without racial agendas - and not just for Black History Month.

Congrats to Chris Evans Breakfast show
BBCCopyright: BBC
Radio 2 Breakfast presenter Chris Evans could have been forgiven for sounding fragile this morning after winning an award for the UK's best radio music breakfast show.
The Audio and Radio Industry (Aria) Awards are the successors to the Sony Awards, the top honours in UK radio.
Chris beat rivals including BBC Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw and Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell.
If Radiohead are not headlining the Glastonbury festival in 2017, then the massive band logo which appeared as a "crop circle" in front of the Pyramid stage is one hell of a red herring.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted two men painting the "angry bear" symbol onto the grass on Wednesday afternoon.
The band and the festival have yet to comment but if its confirmed, it will mark Radiohead's first UK festival appearance since 2011, when they played a "secret set" on Glastonbury's Park Stage.
Hope you are all well-rested because we have a load of things coming up for you today.
On the morning after the final US presidential debate, Eminem breaks his silence over candidate Donald Trump, and could Glastonbury have sneakily announced one of next year's headliners?
Plus the Isle of Wight festival will return next year despite recent fears about its future and watch Kings of Leon cover Selena Gomez in the Radio 1 Live Lounge.
Until then, check out Wednesday's Live page with news on Justin Bieber, The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Olly Murs.

Tributes paid to label boss and producer Phil Chess
Tributes have been paid to Phil Chess who, along with his brother Leonard, founded the blues label Chess Records in 1950.
If you've ever heard of artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Etta James, then Phil Chess was one of the men responsible.
His nephew Craig Glicken told the Chicago Sun-Times that Chess died at his 30-acre ranch on Wednesday. He was 95.
Chess retired to Arizona in 1972 and he and his brother were inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame as non-performers in 1995.
Leonard died in 1969.
