Five Things #259

This week’s Five Things…

I’ve just started reading Oliver Burkeman’s book Four Thousand Weeks. It’s very good.
Adam Neely has made a great video demonstrating why “songs sounding similar” shouldn’t result in lawsuits. Music is cultural and builds on everything that came before it. We need the old stuff to make the new stuff.
Tomas Puedo explains how you can use skill stacking to become the best in the world at something. Rather than aiming to be in the top 1% at something, aim to be in the top 10% of several different but complimentary skills.
Flying a plane through a tunnel at 150mph sounds like an idiotic thing to do, but someone has now done it!
Moises is a very clever app with a stupid name. It lets you change the tempo of songs, mute instruments, add a metronome and even add a count in. A must have for music teachers and those learning an instrument.

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, sign up to get the next one delivered straight to your inbox.
