An early Beatles demo has been discovered in a Vancouver record shop. Last week, Rob Frith threw on a tape labelled “Beatles 60s demos” at Neptoon Records, figuring it was a bootleg.

It’s been a little over two years since Miley Cyrus shared her last studio album Endless Summer Vacation. She’s kept herself plenty busy in the meantime, sharing a handful of singles, dusting off an old hit with a living legend, and finally winning some Grammys. Late last year, she confirmed she was working on her ninth album, saying it’d be called Something Beautiful and that it was inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall — the album but also its accompanying rock-opera movie. Today, the official album announcement has arrived.
