Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. Very cool! — Dreamy Cave-Like Photos Taken Inside Musical Instruments

2. I could do with reminding myself of this more often: "Will today’s emergency even be remembered? Will that thing you’re particularly anxious about have been hardly worth the time you put into it? Better question: What could you do today that would matter a year from now?" — A Year From Now

3. This is definitely true for me. Podcast listening has completely overtaken music listening — Americans Are Listening to Music Less and Spoken Word Audio More, Study Finds

4. Amazing footage — The Starling and Falcon Dance

5. A Winged Victory For The Sullen have returned with a new album. Can't wait to see them play in 2020! — The Undivided Five

You may have recently seen the 2019 Argos Christmas advert. It’s a fantastic advert — especially for all the drum tutors out there!

However, if you’re thinking about buying a drum kit this Christmas, skip Argos and speak to the wonderful folks at your local music shop or drum shop (if you’re lucky enough to have one).

I bought my first drum kit at Sound Attak in Colchester many, many years ago. They know their stuff and will be able to sell you a far superior drum set (that will last you far longer) than the one featured in the advert.

An additional shout out to Music World, West End Music and The Drumming Shop in Ipswich. All excellent local music shops.

1. This was a really great conversation with music writer Ted Gioia on all things music. Tyler Cowen is an excellent interviewer — Ted Gioia on Music as Cultural Cloud Storage

2. Think you know the best way to lower your personal CO2 footprint? You are probably wrong! — What reduces our personal CO2 footprint? We have no clue!

3. A hilarious Twitter thread of reimagined Bond film posters — Bond Film Anagrams

4. I highly recommend David Attenborough's new BBC series "Seven Worlds, One Planet". I've watched the episodes on Antartica and Asia, and both were unsurprisingly excellent. This Attenborough fella is pretty good at this TV and nature stuff! — Seven Worlds, One Planet

5. TeamTrees are trying to raise 20 million dollars to plant 20 million trees across the planet. At the time of writing they've raised enough to plant 14,886,124 trees. If you fancy donating a tree or two, you can do so here — #TeamTrees

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. The TV adaption of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is out now on the BBC. I've been looking forward to this for quite some time — His Dark Materials on iPlayer

2. More entertainment for your eyeballs, The Good Place on Netflix. We've blasted through the first three and a bit series, though we're now held up by the weekly release schedule... yawn! Why is that a thing again? — The Good Place

3. If you like stupid quizzes, this is for you. I scored 12/20 (with a number of dumb mistakes) and I'm well under 40... So yeah, it's a stupid quiz — Sorry, If You’re Under 40 There’s No Way You’ll Pass This Quiz

4. This piece has damped my enthusiasm for AirBnb. Why can't we have nice things? — I Accidentally Uncovered a Nationwide Scam on Airbnb

5. The final episode of The Missing Cryptoqueen podcast was released yesterday. Yet another excellent podcast series from the BBC. Well worth a listen — The Missing Cryptoqueen

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. If you're looking for a binge-worthy podcast series, look no further than the BBC's Tunnel 29 podcast. It tells the story of an attempt to build a tunnel into East Berlin to free friends and family trapped behind the wall. It's an incredible story, that's very well told. — Intrigue: Tunnel 29

2. If you have some spare cash gained by ill-gotten means under your mattress, you might find this video helpful — Talking Politics: How To Launder A Trillion Dollars - In Five Steps

3. A fascinating episode of the Pessimists Archive podcast on the history of mirrors, vanity and what it can tell us about our obsession with selfies. I'd been meaning to listen to the Pessimists Archive podcasts for ages, and I'm glad I finally got round to it. — Mirrors

4. Could you eat crickets? Two billion people regularly eat insects and they'll probably be coming to a supermarket near you very soon. For the record, I think I could and I'm curious to give them a try! — Verge Science: Why companies are mass-producing edible insects

5. Nils Frahm has a new album combining a number of recent EPs. As per usual, it's very good — All Encores
