003: The Kinks, caravan holidays and dad jokes From "Days" to Shania Twain, music journalist Danny Wright on the records that connect him to his dad.

"It's about grabbing the days as they come and remembering people in the fondest way you can."

A conversation about The Kinks, Shania Twain and more in the latest edition of My Mum Loved This Song.

My 20-month-old daughter started crying upstairs last night at the exact moment Dylan went electric in A Complete Unknown. The pain passes through the generations.

The National’s Alligator is 20.

It's my favourite record of all time, one I always come back to. A defining moment where everything about the band seemed to crystallise. And it has so many quotable lines. I tried to explain all of that for @clashmusic.com.

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

The best songs of 2024

Here are 10 albums that I've really enjoyed this year. In a font called Space Grotesk.

I did Parklife at ‘bandeoke’ at the work Christmas party last night and now I probably can’t ever go back into the office again?
