Thanks for joining me today, even if you're new to Guide Daily and didn't really understand what was going on. We do this every day, so just bookmark the series page, come back tomorrow – when Gwilym and Lanre will be your pop culture custodians – and you'll soon get the gist.

Here's a little something for the confused commenter who's been waiting all day for a glimpse of Walter Smith.

For everyone else, I'll leave you with these wise words from the young Jesse Pinkman. Night!

Remember when we had to postpone our interview with rising Ellesmere Port trap star Evian Christ because he'd been summoned to model for a "global underwear brand"? Well here's the result: one minute of pretentious writhing interspersed with a few shots of currently hip musicians (Evian, Dev Hynes, Kelela) looking a bit perplexed.

Nice work if you can get it, though we're strictly Tom Ford round these parts.

Our Q2 Spotify playlist not enough for you? Behold some newer tunes to sate even the most voracious of musical appetites.

First up it's the return of our very favourite masked, maraca-waggling Swedish psychedelic voyagers Goat. Hide From The Sun will feature on their second album Commune, due in September.

This collaboration between tenebrous ambient soundscaper High Aura'd and stripped-back folkie Angel Olsen has proved fruitful:

If it's lean, propulsive piano house you're after, then Leon Vynehall delivers once again.

And who doesn't have time on a Tuesday afternoon for a spot of gently pummelling Teutonic techno? This is the ever-reliable Shed, remixing Pinch's Obsession (The Possession):

Bit of a Game Of Thrones Season 5 spoiler here. Turns out Jon Snow marries Daenerys, their various exes come back from the dead to endorse the nuptials, and the leader of the white walkers proves he's actually a decent sort by cracking a few gags after the meal.

I like the guy who's come as Khal Drogo. If you are a pale, skinny Englishman, this is surely not the best costume to pick.

We're halfway through the year, time for another roundup of the best music to pass through the Guide's pages in the past three months. Here's a playlist featuring (almost) every Guide single of the week from April to June, plus key jams from artists we've interviewed during that period.

Having spent the last couple of TV years clad in wolfskin and pointing arrows at Jon Sneurrrgh, Rose Leslie – actually an incredibly posh Scot rather than a Lancastrian – comes south of the wall for the new series of Utopia.

She plays a younger version of CIA schemer Milner, revealing that the first episode is basically one long flashback set in the 70s, getting us up to speed on the origins of the Utopia experiments.

As a really big fan of the first season, I thought it was a brilliant idea. It basically takes us back to the 1970s and shows us where it all began. We get to see Milner as a young woman, and we get to see why she turns into this ruthless killer. And we see what happens to Carvell as well, and how Jessica and Arby come to be. I was completely hooked by the concept. It’s really a stand-alone episode, and a real treat for the fans.

Here are some more intriguing screengrabs of that first episode, which the Guide's resident TV oracle Gwilym Mumford reckons is the most ambitious and impressive thing he's seen for quite some time.

And here's the previously released trailer, which focuses on events back in the present day. Look out for Arby's new cous cous diet. This is going to be brilliant, isn't it?

Wonder what the heck I'm gabbling on about? Catch up here.

There really aren't enough decent brother-sister feelgood comedies. In fact there are hardly any at all – when I just searched for "brother sister relationship comedy" on IMDB, most of the results were completely baffling. The World's End? Bring It On? The Hangover?

Which is obviously why SNL alumni Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader have stepped in to fill the void with Skeleton Twins. Plenty of decent gags and wry facial expressions in this trailer, along with proof that lip-syncing to power ballads is still funny.

Breaking Bad exec producer Peter Gould is a cheeky fellow. Yesterday he sent the geeknet into overdrive with some tantalising comments to New York Daily News about upcoming prequel Better Call Saul:

One of the great things about having a time line which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before Breaking Bad, during Breaking Bad and after Breaking Bad. That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on Breaking Bad.

Flexible time line, you say? Bringing back characters that were killed on Breaking Bad, you say? Interesting. Very interesting. Who can he possibly mean?

Only last week, everyone's favourite "yo" utterer Aaron Paul was denying all involvement because he was too weathered to play Jesse's younger self:

To be honest, it's not gonna happen. There's rumours floating around that I'm going to be doing it, but that's simply not the case. I mean, we've joked around it, but it's a prequel. I have no idea how Jesse would show up. I'm much older now.

But Gould's flexible timeline changes everything. Presumably the door remains open, unless Paul is too busy recording his best Xbox kills.

As for Cranston, you imagine he'd happily live out his days giving sly little hints to BB fanboys about reprising Walter White without actually doing it. Here's his exchange with an excitable CNN reporter last month:

CNN: “I’m going to ask you, really, seriously, I wasn’t so sure that you died, I really wasn’t. Your eyes were open and I thought, ‘what if the police just take him into custody, he gets better, breaks out and just goes nuts?'"

Cranston: “Hey, you never saw bags zip up or anything."

Banfield: “Is he dead?”

Cranston: “I don’t know."

Banfield: “No movie? No nothing? No Walter White ever again?”

Cranston: “Never say never."

To be honest, I don't know why we care that much. The quality of Better Call Saul won't depend on having Jesse or Walt in it. But obviously if we took such a sensible attitude towards idle internet gossip, we wouldn't have anything to put in this liveblog. Which other Breaking Bad characters would you like to see more of in Better Call Saul? Psychotic dealer Tuco Salamanca? Bogdan with the eyebrows? Secret piano prodigy Skinny Pete? Do let us know.

Zach Braff's upcoming crowdfunded movie Wish I Was Here is sure to be the indiest / schmindiest / cringiest film ever. But he's managed to snag a lovely new track from hiatus-ing beardy crooner Bon Iver, so fair play.

Listen here, and view the film's trailer below.

Morning all. Guide Daily is back back back after an unscheduled break that had nothing whatsoever to do with Glastonbury hangovers. If you're still keen on reliving your mad-splattered weekend at Worthy Farm, all the Guardian's Glasto coverage is here.

Meanwhile, we press relentlessly onward with a mighty collaboration between two grizzled rap veterans, Busta Rhymes and Eminem. Calm Down samples House Of Pain, references Van Halen and disses "internet bloggers" – and that's all you need you know. Enjoy:
