Shy FX's jungle landmark, Sound of the Beast, was one of the big tunes of the 1994 Notting Hill Carnival. It had roots in the past, but the police sirens and dive-bombing bass created a truly modern noise Like the Clash's White Riot, Sound of the Beast begins with a police siren so realistic ...

A £6.5m divorce payout, £170,000 on chauffeured cars and £1,000 on flowers. The Rolling Stones guitarist's spendthrift attitude should be cherished by all aspiring rock stars As with most people, I expect, news of Ronnie Wood's financial difficulties immediately made me think of Virginia ...
