Beyonce

She's wearing the Sasha Fierce glove

That piece of Robocop meets Terminator kit flexing away on her left hand is part of Beyoncé's get-up when she's her in-yer-face alter ego Sasha Fierce. Now, Sasha was supposed to have been put to bed a few years back because Bey no longer needed to split her personality, man. Maybe she needs to now. Maybe Sasha Fierce is the polar opposite of Mrs Carter. Maybe we're overthinking.

That hashtag

Perhaps this is showing us Bey understands Twitter even though she's only used it a pitiful four times. It's possible she instinctively understands it without needing to get her roboclaws dirty.

BeyHereNow

Is the new album a track-for-track re-imagining of Oasis's cocaine classic? Or a yogic-spiritualist text for hippies who can't let go? Or does the new track just have a clunking pun for a title? We've got fewer than 24 hours to thrash these ideas out so get busy.

The music

What with this and the recent "leak" 'Bow Down'/'I Been On', the feeling is 'If I Were A Boy' boo-hoos are going to be in short supply with the new stuff. Beyoncé appears intent on running this mutha with an iron fist in a chrome cyberglove. That all seems satisfactory.

With a late night surrealist sketch show (Adult Swim's 'Loiter Squad') on screens stateside, an Odd Future clothing range to take care of and a set of new Mountain Dew adverts directed by the 22-year-old perplexing the world, Tyler's empire has now grown way beyond the twisted, claustrophobic hip-hop glimpsed on 2011's 'Goblin' and 2009 debut 'Bastard'. Can he still cut it as an emcee? Here's our first impressions of his hotly anticipated return, 'Wolf'...

Post-modern, yeah? The first track from the new EP from B-town's Jaws is kinda epic (in the original sense of the word). 'BreeZe' shimmers and soars before breaking into a euphoric bridge, contrasting with the lead singer's droney voice. "I want it, I need it, yeah" he sings mixing 90s grunge with a sunny paean to the beach. Promising stuff.

No, that's not a typo: it is called BreeZe. Post-modern, yeah? The first track from the new EP from B-town's Jaws is kinda epic (in the original sense of the word). 'BreeZe' shimmers and soars before breaking into a euphoric bridge, contrasting with the lead singer's droney voice. "I want it, I need it, yeah" he sings mixing 90s grunge with a sunny paean to the beach. Promising stuff.

The first thing you notice is Thom smiling, a relatively rare occurence. Then the eye is drawn to Colin's powerful pyjama shirt. What is the hand claw thing? Perhaps they are holding imaginary pints. My favourite part's Ed O'Brien showing off his impressive psychic powers with an impression of 90s dreamboat Kavana. Also WTF is that fiddle-playing buffoon santa on the poster behind*? And where is Jonny? The picture was taken in the bedroom of Nigel Powell, drummer for Frank Turner, multi-instrumentalist and member of the Oxford music scene, at the time they were called On A Friday. They formed in 1985 before changing their name to Radiohead and signing to EMI in 1991 as a fivesome. It's a delight to behold, and hopefully you'll find these pictures we've dug out of other stars either before they were famous or early on in their careers similarily entertaining. 1Jay-Z Here's Jay-Z featuring in Jaz-O's video for 'Hawaiian Sophie' in 1989. It's exceptionally embarrassing. The master and his pupil famously fell out and Jaz-O (whose name, let's be honest, is just awful) is blamed for fuelling Hova's feud with Nas. 2Lady Gaga Before emerging in a puff of latex, meat, bubbles, talons, smoke, mirrors and a couple of good songs, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta wasn't quite so outré. The New Yorker morphed into "Mommy Monster" of the Haus of Gaga with 2008's 'The Fame'. "Don't ever call me Stefani again", she commanded. 3Noel Gallagher In Spring of 1991, Noel Gallagher was a roadie for Inspiral Carpets. In a lost interview conducted by a journalist who couldn't get hold of one of the band, Noel was asked about the current state of music - and Blur. Current charts? Chesney Hawkes - bag of shit, right, but Gary Clail and that, Inspirals, Happy Mondays, Ride, Blur and all them lot, it's good that they're all in the charts. Very, very, very healthy. Indeed 4Skrillex Sonny Moore started his musical life as the lead singer in post-hardcore group From First To Last. He was in the band from 2004 until 2007, when he left to coat the world in wub. Via MySpace, he publicised solo demos the following year and took on the Skrillex alias in 2008 (he was known as Twipz before this). Here's another classic Skrillex-as-emo picture. 5Haim When Haim were little and growing up in Los Angeles they played in a cover band with their parents called Rockinhaim in a sort of modern day twist on 'Little House On The Praire', or 'The Sound Of Music'. The three sisters graduated to adulthood, ditched their parents and are currently blazing the world with their retro pop. 6Hurts Just look at Theo Hutchcraft's frightening, gothic vibes in this picture of erstwhile band Daggers. And that's Adam Anderson on the left practising an evil sneer. After the ill-fated Bureau, the lads formed a new band in 2007. They lasted just a couple of years before discovering a new genre called Disco Lento and rapidly disbanding. 7The Cribs It's the three little Cribs! There's twins Gary and Ryan and younger brother Ross. The band formed in 2001, when wee Rossy was just 16, and it looks as if they've had the same hair since the early days. 7Lana Del Rey Unlike Lizzy Grant, who changed drastically from failed singer into Lana Del Rey, gangsta Nancy Sinatra, Lolita lost in the hood, global obsession, and now the face of H&M and the Jaguar F-Type luxury automobile. What's next? I predict a return to the Grant tag. * I'm told by @malcstoneyphoto it's a Marillion poster H/t @LukeLewis for spotting the Radiohead picture and Nigel Powell for use of his photograph.
