National Beer Day: What your favourite beer says about you

April 7th is National Beer Day in the US, apparently (not to be confused with International Beer Day, which falls  on August 7th. Or with Britain's National Beer Day, which is June 15th). 
First celebrated in 2009, the April 7th National Beer Day became a social media "thing" thanks to Justin Smith of Richmond, Virgina, who set up a Facebook page for a day of celebration to mark the anniversary of the day in 1933 when beer became legal in the US after years of prohibition.
Beer-lovers around the world - and countless brands -  have been celebrating with gusto:

To mark the occasion, we took a look at YouGov's fascinating siteYouGov Profiles, to see what we could learn about Britain's beer drinkers.
The site creates profiles of consumers, giving (for example) an at-a-glance look at what the typical Stella Artois-drinker is interested in - his spending habits, her taste in films, what newspaper he reads, her political leanings, and so on.
Based on YouGov's data, what does your taste in beer say about you? Do you match the profile of your fellow beer fans?

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
