Starting with an icebreaker: Did you know that 'Super Freaky Girl' by Nicki Minaj is apparently the most popular song on peoples' sex playlists? And in other, no-less serious news, Taylor Swift announced the end of her Eras Tour (something you can experience secondhand here) while Brits also went crazy for a tiny ceramic goat made by King Charles III 55-years-ago. What we're trying to say is, it's been a weird time. And our emotions are all over the place (we blame Inside Out 2), so it's probably best we just dive into this week's recommendations.

Every three years, in the small Belgian city of Ypres, locals dress up in Papier-mâché cat heads and other forms of feline-inspired attire to celebrate the 'Kattenstoet' ('Festival of the Cats'). A tradition since 1955, it's linked - rather bleakly - to legends about cats once being thrown from a bell tower, the reasoning for which is still subject to speculation... But one thing's for sure: people have always loved an opportunity to dress up and get a little weird. The desire to connect with past traditions, while also subverting them, is what makes folklore so compelling. Its rebellious idea...

Disgraced American “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli is facing yet another lawsuit, this time for allegedly retaining and sharing recordings from the rarest album on earth \- the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan LP that he was forced to sell following his 2017 conviction on securities fraud charges. The lawsuit was brought by a cryptocurrency collective, PleasrDAO, which purchased the only known copy of the album from Shkreli for $4.75 million. The album, 'Once Upon a Time is Shaolin', has not been released to the public, functioning as a rare contemporary art piece since it was auctioned off by the famed...

Stretching from the 1980s to the present day, the images go deeper than iconic photos of designers and supermodels. The Saatchi Gallery’s Lily Waterton tells Damon how fashion photography has evolved to explore a range of notions of beauty, with the exhibition embracing works that look through various lenses. The themes of beauty, along with identity and gender are tackled by one of the show’s flags...

What's going on with 2024's box office? This week, we looked into why big blockbuster releases like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga have underperformed with cinema-goers (spoiler: streaming services and possible prequel fatigue have a lot to answer for). It's a worrying trend, but still, the range of fantastic films shown at last week's Cannes festival prove cinema is far from dead! We all just need to go more - and if it's recommendations you need, it's recommendations we've got.

It makes sense that the founder of a new cheese museum in Paris would have cheese as his profile picture on Whatsapp. The colour of Cantaloupe, cheesemaker Pierre Brisson tells me it's Mimolette - a strong cheese traditionally produced in Lille that he'd carefully carved into a flower. "It's a technique to make the cheese more appealing," Brisson says. Lovely, but let's be honest: when it comes to cheese, most people don't need any floral flourishes to kickstart their salivary glands. In fact, the uglier and stinkier the better. Whether grated, melted, baked, sliced or slabbed on a board, Fran...

It’s the rarest album on earth, only listened to by a handful of people. But now, the public is going to get the chance to finally give it a spin. Only snag – you'll have to shell out for a ticket to Australia. The Australian island of Tasmania, to be precise. The sole copy of Wu-Tang Clan's 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin' will be played to the public for the first time at The Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Hobart. The institution will be holding limited listening events as part of its upcoming exhibition, Namedropping, during which visitors can experience a curated 36-minute mix from the...
