The Forty-Five - Happy New... oh

View this email in your browser
Hello,

Not quite the new year we were promised, is it lads? Charlie Brooker is going to have a field day with this come Christmas. 

Some things that are less shit than everything going on in the world, coming up
THIS VIDEO
Missing your bestie in lockdown? Us too. Saweetie and Doja have joined forces on new single, 'Best Friend' – a song that celebrates your ride-or-die, number one gal pal. Could it be this year's, slightly-more-wholesome, 'WAP'? Three million YouTube views and counting suggest so. Watch the video
THIS LIVESTREAM
Happy Birthday, Starman. We are missing David Bowie, today, on what would have been his 74th birthday. One of our youngest writers has made a playlist of her favourite Bowie songs and shared a little about what he meant to her. 

For any fans, we can thoroughly recommend getting tickets to watch the stage show Lazarus, which is livestreaming this evening. The musical was one of the last big projects David Bowie worked on before his death, five years ago on Sunday. Starring, Michael J Hall (pictured), the story is loosely based on the Bowie film The Man Who Fell To Earth. It features lots of his songs and – on watching it this week – made us feel quite emotional. A huge loss, that is still being felt by so many.
THIS INTERVIEW
Weird times call for weird music... Gemma Samways had a chat with Jockstrap, about how Charlie Kaufman, Elton John and rude reimaginings of Disney films have all played a part in shaping their esoteric universe. 
THIS FESTIVAL
It's been a really tough year for new acts trying to break through. Eurosonic Noorderslag is a European music festival that celebrates and showcases emerging talent from around the continent. This year it's moved online but the good news is you can watch all the showcases for free. We've picked five artists from five European countries on the bill who are well worth checking out. (And yes, we are fully in denial that Brexit happened).
THESE SONGS
Giddy up, it's 2021's first 45s of the week. Read our thoughts on new releases from Nubiyan Twist, Black Honey, Rhye and loads more on the playlist
