Hope you had a backup: Myspace has confirmed losing data for 50 million songs uploaded to the platform between 2003 and 2015. Also in the news today: remembering Dick Dale, Shawn Mendes cleans up at the Junos, Neil Finn leaves social media in wake of Christchurch, Sam Smith comes out as genderqueer, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers play a very obvious cover at the Great Pyramids of Giza. Music in today's episode: Jahzzar - "Comedie" (CC BY 4.0); BoxCat Games - "Against the Wall" (CC BY 3.0); Sean Mendes - "In My Blood"; Sam Smith, Normani - "Dancing With a Stranger" (Cheat Codes remix); Dick Dale and his Del-Tones - "Misirlou"; Lily Allen - "Alfie"; Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Pyramid Song" (Radiohead cover); Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away"
