The Getintothis top five stories of the week

At the close of another busy week, here’s Getintothis’ Max Richardson with the top five stories of the week.

Here we are, back once again on yet another Sunday evening with little to occupy ourselves with.

This writer has spent much of the week accompanied by the superb soundtrack of Kraftwerk as a result of the sad passing of Florian Schneider.

Despite being a lover of both electronica and dance music, amazingly they’d somehow managed to pass me by until now – heresy, I know.

Records such as Trans-Europe Express and Tour de France Soundtracks have aged amazingly well, holding up alongside contemporary electronic music with ease, barely sounding dated – surprising given the age of the equipment used.

In other news this week, this writer has been catching up with the much talked about documentary about Michael Jordan, The Last Dance.

While only a couple of episodes in, it’s shaping up to be a great watch.

For those who are interested in basketball it’s a must-watch, and perhaps even for those interested in sport – it’s amazing seeing behind the scenes to understand the political, financial side of the game alongside what’s seen on the court.

The documentary follows the Chicago Bulls‘ season in 1997-1998, coming off the back of two consecutive championship victories. It shows the audience behind the scenes of the end of an era, as it was clear many of the team would be leaving after this season.
