Elizabeth Olsen had the right idea. She let her older sisters go have their mega-careers and then quietly, steadily built herself into a star. The fourth HAIM sister, unfortunately, is nowhere near as talented or smooth. In a new video from Funny or Die, Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson plays Frime Haim, the obnoxious, ignorant, and slimy sibling who's always been relegated to the background. When she finds out her sisters are putting out their new album,Something to Tell You,Frime decides it's time to come out of the shadows and join the band. Why can't it be four sisters? she asks indignantly. The Beatles made it work. Yeah, that pretty much says all you need to know about Frime. The actual rockstars do their best to let Frime down directly, but she's having none of it - especially when their mom, Donna, drops by to say she wants to join in, too. Watch the entire video above.

More than a century after the gramophone detached the enjoyment of music from its live performance and accentuated a growing divide between popular music and the clever-clever stuff, is the border between the two being dismantled again? Time was when the two shared the same homes. The Alehouse Sessions the brainchild of Norwegian violinist Bjarte Eike are informal concerts taking us back to Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth, when theatres were closed, church music was banned and pubs were suddenly full of highly trained musicians wanting to perform for money. Eike and his period-performance group, Barokksolistene, aim to recreate the spirit of these gatherings. The Bush Hall concert, which came between performances at the Salisbury and Dresden festivals, came complete with a pop-up craft beer stand at the back of the hall.
