I denne uges udsendelse er vi endelig tilbage med afsnit 33, det første i sæson 4. Her kigger vi bl.a. på kontroversen angående de 3 Michael Jackson sange som er blevet fjernet fra streamingtjenester og musikplatforme, pga. tvivlen om hvorvidt det virkelig er The King of Pop der synger på dem. Vi kommer desuden med anbefalinger af den fuldstændig fantastiske Little Simz, indiepopgruppen Hot Chip og spændende ghanesisk musik fra Ata Kak, og så rejser vi tilbage i tiden til slutningen af 80'erne og en vidunderlig dansk singlehitliste. Derudover skal vi også prøve at finde ud af, hvorfor Beyoncé allerede er i gang med at ændre nogle af sangene fra hendes spritnye album, vi stiller spørgsmålstegn ved idéen i at Spotify skal sponsorere fodboldklubben FC Barcelona, vi går i dybden med 3 af de største filmtemasange fra 1989 og så grubler vi over om Danmarks femte største å Susåen, måske er fyldt med Tarzanbøger. Kort sagt et klassisk afsnit af Noget Ved Musikken, og vi glæder os endnu engang til at dele vore kærlighed til den gode musik med jer alle sammen.   Playliste: Aqua – Halloween Little Simz – Introvert Ata Kak – Obaa sima Hot Chip – Eleanor Michael Jackson – Breaking news Beyoncé – Break my soul Gladys Knight – License to kill Prince – Batdance Ray Dee Ohh – Elskes af dig Roxette – Dangerous Kim Larsen & Bellami – Tarzan Mama Mia Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu

In this episode of our Secrets and Lies series we've delved into the archive to bring you incredible stories of secrets hidden in music. Advertising executive Juan Carlos Ortiz grew up in Colombia, a country which has suffered decades of armed conflict and has long been among the major producers of illegal drugs. Juan Carlos ran an award-winning campaign against the addictive qualities of cocaine, and made powerful enemies of FARC guerillas who relied on the drugs trade. A few years later, Juan Carlos was asked to get a secret message to hostages being held by FARC rebels in the middle of a jungle. And he chose music as his disguise. Ata Kak's musical career would never have got off the ground had it not been for the help of a little white lie. But when the Ghanaian musician released his first record in 1994, things stalled again - he sold only a handful of copies. The story would have ended there had it not been for an American student who made a chance discovery at a market stall in Ghana several years later. Salim Gauwloos became famous dancing with Madonna on her iconic Blond Ambition tour. Madonna used the tour to promote freedom of sexuality and sexual health. All of this made a young Salim feel extremely uncomfortable. The reason he was so anxious was that he was harbouring a secret. Do you have a story about how a secret or lie changed a life? It could be something that happened to you or someone close to you, or it could just be an amazing story you heard. If so, we'd love to hear about it. Record a short voice memo or write an e-mail and send it to us at outlook@bbc.com. If your story is about someone you know, just make sure they're ok with you telling us about it.

Since establishing the Pioneer Works nonprofit cultural center in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood in 2013, artist Dustin Yellin has slowly grown the place into a powerhouse hub at the nexus of art, technology, music, and science (with literature and food sprinkled in). Like the beautifully complex glass sculptures he creates, Pioneer Works is a richly layered mishmash. Consider this spring’s lineup of programs: One night this April, there’s a performance by the Ghanaian electronic and rap artist Ata Kak; another night, there’s a “Supper Club” dinner featuring traditional Japanese home cooking by chef Emily Yuen and owner Maiko Kyogoku of the New York City restaurant Bessou; on May 2, there’s the institution's annual benefit, this year co-chaired by Austin and Gabriela Hearst, and honoring poet, essayist, playwright Claudia Rankine, as well as economist Marilyn Simons and her billionaire hedge-fund manager husband, James. Currently on display in the galleries is a performance set by artist Jaimie Warren (through April 12) and a showing of four Japanese avant-garde films from the 1960s and ’70s (through April 19). This is to say nothing of the classes, roundtables, and residencies Pioneer Works offers, or its book-publishing arm.Pioneer Works’s eclectic, wide-ranging buffet of intellectual offerings is pure Yellin. With boundless energy, enigmatic bravado, and a collaborative spirit, he has built a multifaceted community not unlike what Andy Warhol had at The Factory from the ’60s to ’80s—only it’s somewhat more institutional and professionalized, and with a new executive director, Eric Shiner (formerly of White Cube gallery, Sotheby’s, and the Andy Warhol Museum), at the helm. As Yellin points out on this episode of Time Sensitive, maintaining a certain scale and intimacy at Pioneer Works is essential to him, with future growth potentially coming from building satellite locations in other cities. As he sees it, the institution could become the next Stanford, Harvard, or MIT Media Lab—a new outlet for education, an incubator that brings together the best and brightest minds on earth in a fresh way, a place to foster the shapers of the future.On the episode, Andrew speaks with Yellin about everything from his wide-ranging dreams for Pioneer Works; to his ambitious plans for “The Bridge,” a large-scale monument to the end of oil; to his harrowing memories of Hurricane Sandy.

The Road To Safe As Milk, Season 2.5! We're taking a significant enough divergence from our regular format to warrant calling this a between-season season, and this is a season of pure research in the run-up to our Anniversary Episode, which will be recorded at the Safe As Milk Festival! Held in the same place, at Pontins in Prestatyn, we'll be reconvening to talk about the acts we've been enjoying at the festival, just like we did last April. However, before that, we've taken it upon ourselves to listen to all the acts on the bill - IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
