If you've ever swallowed an aspirin, put milk in your coffee, fed your pet, or filled a prescription, then you've relied on the lifesaving oversight of the US Food and Drug Administration.

Even on the best of days, the FDA commissioner — a Senate-confirmed position — must wander a pitiless wilderness of excruciating judgment calls, whether the record-speed approval of Covid-19 vaccines or the minefield of mail-order birth control pills, all while…
While Shiva is still up on the fifth floor having the last photos taken in his grandmother's apartment, we find ourselves downstairs waiting. The photo shoot is taking longer than expected, also due to the little room to maneuver for an entire crew of photographers, stylist, sound engineer, artist plus members of the management, inside a tiny three-room apartment in the popular neighborhood of Corsico, a few kilometers south-west of Milan. The result is that we are behind schedule. So, down in the street, those who aren't strictly necessary upstairs gather, or those like me who have already done part…
Rod Stewart and Ron Wood made international political news on May 11 when they were caught on an open mic bashing Donald Trump to King Charles following his visit to America. “Hello, Sir, may I say, well done with the Americans,” Stewart told King Charles in a receiving line at the Royal Albert Hall. “You were superb, absolutely superb. You put that little ratbag in his place.” But the former Faces bandmates also made music news that day when they reunited onstage as part of the King's Trust Celebration concert at the Royal Albert Hall to perform “Ooh La Laa”…

The music industry has been left “disappointed” by the UK government’s draft bill on a ticket tout ban in the King’s Speech today (Wednesday May 13). Just last week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to “stamp out ticket touts for good” in a letter to live music fans, promising to act “as soon as possible”, as exclusively revealed by NME.

Its status as only a draft bill deprioritises this vital piece of…
In the modern parlance of pop, it’s no unusual thing to introduce a new album with the rhetoric of a new era. But it says a lot about Lykke Li – an artist who’s always seemed more comfortable on the fringes of the mainstream than at its centre; whose sweeping heartache anthems have seen her collaborate with Mark Ronson but also David Lynch – that even this common trope comes with a poetic, unlikely edge.
