Swiftify launches featuring only Taylor Swift songs

New music streaming app Swiftify has launched, dedicated entirely to the music of Taylor Swift. Users can listen to songs from a vast library of albums - albeit most of them feature the same songs just with different cover art - and explore music from the many genres which Taylor has toyed with over her multi decade career.

Swiftify Chief Exec Bradley Brady said, '90% of all music streams are of the top 1% of artistes, and 50% are of Taylor, probably. So we figured just cut out the rest. Like we say in showbiz, be nice to the little people on your way up - then dump 'em.'

The app also features an AI tool to generate abusive social media messages for 'Swifties' to send to 'haters'. At press time, it had already suffered its first crash, when someone registered under the username Big Machine Records.

Meanwhile, plans to launch another app dedicated entirely to the music of Harry Styles have been put on hold following an appeal under the Geneva Convention.

Scientists hope they can drive Asian hornets mad with 125.25Hz sound

Musician scientists, who found that Asian hornets nests produce a 125Khz sound, are hoping that a near frequency will create a beat that the hornets will regard as a threat, in the same way the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was able to dispense with poorly tuned banjos.

Entomologist, Dick Scratcher told Newsbiscuit, that we might be surprised by how many insects are born with perfect pitch; and just like humans, they find it irritating when pop musicians struggle to hit the right note. He cited the instance when a Wings concert was halted after Paul McCartney said his mike wasn’t working; and a roadie exchanged it with the one his wife was using, which few outside etymology, appreciate, halted the 1975 insect riots.

Scientists hope that by playing a racket slightly out of tune with the ones Hornets make, it will encourage them to express their musicality in other lands in the way that Punk musicians never did.
