Your forthcoming album, Flying Wig, was produced by Cate Le Bon. What was it like to collaborate with her and what influence did she have on the album’s sound? VerulamiumParkRangerWe’ve been friends for years, which began with an impromptu haircut. There weren’t any scissors so I asked Cate to cut my hair with a fork. I was kidding, but she agreed. It hurt, but a bond was born. When it came to this record she was the only person I wanted to ask. It was supposed to be co-produced but five minutes into the first day and…

When rhino poaching reached a crisis level in 2014, wildlife managers in southern Africa turned to a last-ditch defense. They started sawing off horns, which doesn’t hurt rhinos, but may dissuade poachers from killing the endangered animals. Now, researchers have for the first time shown that this conservation practice changes the behavior of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis), making the animals roam far less widely and presumably interact less with other…

The recent 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement underscored how much the Troubles, and those many years of bloodshed, have receded into historical memory. With the wounds less raw, it’s easier to mine the period for drama spiked with high-stakes violence and leavened with moral conundrums about justice, loyalty and political expediency. Belfast-born novelist and screenwriter Ronan Bennett is just the right man to map out this terrain. It’s not just his having roots in the region that helps, but also his longtime…

Chief Keef – 4NEM (2021)As someone generally averse to the fact that album releases never seem to slow down any more, even at the end of December, I managed to miss Chief Keef’s 4NEM when it dropped in late December last year.

Both rule the sea, but who does it better? Let’s compare the history of the two superpowered beings, shall we? In the comics, Namor’s mother was a princess from the ancient city of Atlantis, a lost city that historians have been looking for since Plato made it up a long time ago. So, in addition to being super strong and…
