John Bonham, Tennis Elbow, the US Navy, Cory Henry and Girls. Go!
Hey, here it is. Friday 27th May's top five. It's my consolidated list of all things awesome this week. Here we go;
1) Video of the week;
Cory Henry - Tribute to Melvin Crisp.
I've only just discovered Cory henry, he's pretty damn good. There's also some great sessions on YouTube, google that shit.
2) Gig of the week;
The Lab Saturday, 28th May, Northampton. This is a really interesting concept and the Fanny Pack DJ's are spinning too, get involved.
3) Quote of the week;
"The latest you can be is five minutes early." - Unknown
I heard this on a podcast, but I can't remember exactly who said it. I think it was someone that served in the US Navy, which makes sense. I consider punctuality to be very important, it's more of a point that I do what I say I will, wether that's meet at a specific time, or do a particular task, whatever really. Letting people down is not acceptable, we're all busy, It's disrespectful to keep people waiting.
"An unreliable man is not much of a man at all." Unknown (sorry).
4) Article of the week;
Phys Ed: An Easy Fix For Tennis Elbow?
I got this from Tim Ferriss (surprise, surprise), but I know a lot of drummers suffer with this and we could have found a cure. I bet you or someone you know has this problem, help them out and send them the link.
5) Thing of the week;
Use one of these to work out any sores, aches and pains. I regularly get back strain from DJ'ing (basically craning over the decks for a few hours). All you have to do is find the sore/strained muscle and lay on the lacrosse ball. Use google (some good info here) to find techniques on specific areas of pain, and don't hurt yourself. I'm not a doctor.
See you next week,
Josh.
