Does Language Of Music Matter? (Mostly Westerns)
We may not be able to understand exactly what people are saying across different languages, humans have evolved to share and express the same basic emotions in similar ways.

Is Emily Eavis right about a music pipeline issue?
Emily Eavis' comments that 'festivals are struggling with a dearth of viable female headliners owing to an industry “pipeline" problem' left us perplexed.
