Dan Michaelson is not a particularly prolific Tweeter, but between musing about IKEA hotdogs and the time he DJed in Topshop (playing John Tavener, Laurie Anderson and ESG back-to-back) he found time to re-Tweet a backhanded compliment from a thoughtful soul called @recordshopbloke. “I do like Dan Michaelson's records,” said the bloke, “but sometimes it’s a bit like a mate on the phone going on endlessly about his tragic life.”

Lou Reed has left a total of $30 million (£17.5m) in his will - including $20.4m (£12m) in royalties earned since his death in October 2013. According to documents lodged with Manhattan Surrogate Court by Reed's manager Robert Gotterer, the singer's estate totals $30m (£17.5m), with two-thirds of that having been gathered by Gotterer since Reed's death at the age of 71 last year.
