The Getintothis top five stories of the week
At the close of another busy week, here’s Getintothis’ Max Richardson with the roundup of the top stories of the week.
Here we are once again, and here’s hoping you’re all well.
As every news piece and TV program seems to be reminding us at the moment, we’re all stuck indoors, on the off-chance you’ve not noticed.
Of course, all this new-found free time gives us all a great chance to binge Netflix series and catch up with albums we’ve missed, but it also gives us the very rare chance to devote a considerable sum of time to something.
Here’s a thought – why not try picking up an instrument?
It’s something that so many people say they wish were able to do, but everyday life always manages to get in the way.
With everyday life on pause, perhaps it’s a good time to pick up that acoustic guitar hiding somewhere in the attic, and try out a few chords?
Record Store Day 2020 rescheduled again to be split over three dates
Or if that’s not your thing, at least we’re spoiled for choice with an abundance of material to watch and listen to.
This writer has been giving the music of The Beatles the annual re-listen this week, in particular the record Revolver.
It’s not this writer’s personal favourite record, which has to go to Sgt. Pepper – but what a record Revolver is. It really is one of those records that definitely seems to get a little deeper with every listen.
Have you been listening to anything out of the ordinary this week? We’d love to hear your thoughts, please do let us know.
