Album: T Bone Burnett, Tooth of Crime (Nonesuch)
Despite the competing claims of such as Mark Ronson and Brian (Danger Mouse) Burton, T Bone Burnett may be the most interesting producer working in popular music at the moment.

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan; When a twee pop beauty met a rock'n'roll beast
Just over a year ago, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan finished touring their Mercury-nominated album of duets, Ballad of the Broken Seas, and prepared to say their goodbyes.

Sound of the urban underground
Talk about an evolution. Since the tail end of last year, urban music has enjoyed a healthy presence in the UK singles charts, helped by the North's garage-inspired bassline migration to the capital and the return of MC Estelle, who recently had a four-week stint at No 1. Solo stars like Taio Cruz and Jay Sean are also reeling in groupie love and seminal outlets such as BBC 1Xtra, Choice FM, ...

Cultural Life: Sheila Hancock, Actress
Books I am starring in Pinter's The Birthday Party at the Lyric Hammersmith. What with learning lines, it doesn't give me much time to read. Mind you, I'm supposed to have read Doris Lessing's The Grass Is Singing by Sunday because I am a member of a book club.

Henry Brant: Experimental composer who scored for instruments ranging from massed trombones to kitchenware
Henry Brant was one of the youngest of the pre-Second World War American experimental composers. He scored for odd instruments and instrumental combinations and equalised "high" and "low" art forms and topics. He was best known for his work in spatial music, a kind of "surround sound" effect informed by Renaissance antiphony, Berlioz and Charles Ives, which both predated and outstripped similar ...

Perhaps because everyone knows what it's like sitting indoors and staring at a ceiling fan, waiting for school to start and praying for a cold front.
