SUPERHEAVY

Mick Jagger’s new band Super Heavy have revealed that their debut album will be released on September 20.

The first album by the supergroup – whose star-studded line-up includes Joss Stone, Damian Marley, EurythmicsDave Stewart and composer AR Rahman – does not currently have a title, but it has been confirmed that the band’s first single will be called ‘Miracle Worker’.

Jagger told The Hollywood Reporter that the project had initially started with “ideas, a few guitar riffs and a few snippets of lyrics”, adding: "It's not my usual sort of way of working. You always want to leave some room for improvisation, but you need to have something, some songs, when you walk into the studio.

EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY

In 10 months, humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year.
Similarly to the way a bank statement tracks income against expenditures, Global Footprint Network’s methodology tracks human demand on nature – from filtering CO2 to producing the raw materials for food – against nature’s capacity to regenerate those resources and absorb the waste. Our research shows that in approximately nine months, we have demanded a level of services from nature equivalent to what the planet can provide for all of 2012. We maintain this deficit by depleting stocks of things like fish and trees, and by accumulating waste such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the ocean.

ALFONSINA Y EL MAR

I hope you don't end up hating this beautiful classic. Choose your favourite version.
The sea water out here is still warm and inviting, but we must come back to school. Or else, become an Alfonsina. It's up to you.
