Shuffle: Willie’s still stoned, Iggy’s gone to pot, and Sleep Thieves are getting spooky

Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard - It's All Going to Pot
Forty-six years since he forswore marijuana use on his signature hit Okie From Muskogee, country outlaw Merle Haggard has clearly softened that stance a little. This tongue-in-cheek duet, recorded with arch-stoner Willie Nelson, and released April 20th (aka Marijuana Christmas in the US), is a raucous ode to weed, whiskey and wild, wild women. And in the video, the old pals toke it up like Cheech and Chong. Pathos, however, is never far away. "Far's I can tell, the world's goin' to hell," the 81-year-old Nelson quips. "And we're sure going to miss it a lot."

Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson - Trouble
The past few months have not been kind to Iggy Azalea. First a major arena tour was postponed, amid reports of low ticket sales. Next, this much- hyped single flopped on both sides of the Atlantic. Worse still, according to this new video, she's dating a rent-a- hunk extra with "bad-boy demeanour and tattoos". More damning, perhaps, he tries to hold up a bank without a weapon, accomplices or a getaway driver. What is this, America's Dumbest Criminals?

Booka Brass Band - Nute
Turning Pirate The eight-piece, New Orleans- style brass band, best known for collaborations with the likes of Lisa Hannigan and James Vincent McMorrow, released their debut EP, BBB, earlier this month. This sunny instrumental is arguably the pick of its four sweet tracks.

Sleep Thieves - You Want The Night
Sleep Thieves' debut album You Want the Night is out in June. To whet our appetite, this Mike P Nelson-directed video depicts the synth trio in a variety of spooky scenarios: as ghosts, Victorian axe murderers, faceless automatons and (apparently) riding in the back of a fire-engine limo. Okay, that last one is not that spooky. But wait till the hen party arrives. Those ladies are terrifying.
