If you’ve ever wondered what’s for lunch at Perry Farrell’s house, or where The Roots’ Questlove turns for DJ inspiration, look to The Avalanches for the answer. The Melbourne-based electronic group has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music and waded through “seven layers of shit” to complete their long-awaited second album, Wildflower. Avalanches founding member Tony Di Blasi tells all to BW and BL.

Tennis champion Naomi Osaka is having a moment heading into the Tokyo Olympics — gracing the covers of international magazines and the focus of a new three-part documentary series on Netflix that gives us an inside look behind her rapid rise to superstardom.

Finally, what do we make of the NSW Covid numbers TikTok guy, and Jeff Bezos’ new status as a commercial astronaut after he blasted off with three fellow passengers inside a huge penis-shaped rocket.
