Scene and Heard

MUSIC NEWS: Two possible albums for pressies this year include the Pogues’ 30 Years boxset, a collection of their five studio albums plus a live concert featuring Joe Strummer after he replaced Shane MacGowan in the band; and Live At The Cellar Door, a Neil Young performance recorded in 1970. Spotify has released its list of most streamed songs for 2013, with the global chart being topped by ‘Can’t Hold Us’ from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and ‘Wake Me Up’ by Avicii.

In the UK, it was tunes by Bastille, Daft Punk and Passenger in the top three. Rumours abound of a possible reunion of Outkast following online pics of Big Boi and Andre 3000 (inset) hanging out together. Finally, a minute’s heavy bass for Junior Murvin, the Jamaican singer who died earlier this week from diabetes-related complications. The 64-year-old was famous for his ‘Police and Thieves’ classic, a track also covered by the Clash.
