Beyoncé shot a music video for the song Sorry from the visual album Lemonade, in which tennis star Serena Williams keeps her ass-shaking company, and she herself acts like a rude teenager who whistles at everyone.

Are you curious about how the baby from the cover of Nirvana's cult Nevermind album looks 25 years later? Spencer Elden, who in 1991 as a four-month-old baby posed in a swimming pool (due to the fear that the baby's nudity would offend someone, the Geffen label covered the delicate part with a sticker), in honor of Nirvana and the venerable anniversary of its second album, posed again underwater and recreated the famous scene, except without the US bill on the hook. The Nevermind album cover was named the third most legendary of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.

I met Booka Shade, a cute duo synonymous with tech house and techno at the turn of the millennium, right before their performance at the InMusic festival in Zagreb. Although they claim that they are not "Berlin", I personally find it difficult to place them anywhere else than in the bubbling cauldron of the ever-faster growing and popular Berlin techno scene, where only the best are born. I talked to them about the new Galvany Street album, on which they deviated from their classic sound, but they did not impress me any less.
