Serving Kant, London’s Lost Venues and The Beauty of Birdsong

It’s one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of music – but why is listening to birdsong so good for us? From the ethereal melodies of a Nightingale to the bass-heavy coos of a Pigeon, Annie and Nick break down the science behind the sounds and why we should all spend more time outdoors. Elsewhere, as the V&A announce a new exhibition showcasing London’s lost music venues, Annie and Nick unearth some lost memories of nights spent in Bungalow 8. Plus, Charli XCX has changed the cover of ‘brat’ and no one can figure out why, the Maltese entry for Eurovision is trying to serve but is being told not to and how Nick ended up on a plane with Busta Rhymes.
