Friday 6th May's top five is;

1) Video of the week;

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek ft. London Contemporary Voices.

This song does something to me. I first heard it on the album and there are several versions knocking about, this is the best by far. The combination of the powerful lyrics and the force of the choir is breathtaking. Click the link, turn it up and relax (and cry).

2) Gig of the week;

Reverend D Wayne Love (Alabama 3).

A great headliner, with 3 local support acts and only £5 on the door. Get involved.

3) Quote of the week;

"You've been thinking thoughts all your life and look where that's got you!" - S. Hands.

Sometimes I overthink things and this usually straightens me out.

4) Article of the week;

Apple Stole My Music, No, Seriously.

I just don't trust anyone with all of my digital information, either photo's, spreadsheets or music which is why I don't use cloud services. I don't use Apple Music or any other music streaming as they don't pay the artists enough, amongst other shady practices, but to erase your music as part of the deal is fucking mental.

5) Thing of the week;

Death By Chocolate Blender Brownie.

These things are very nearly healthy, but are very actually delicious. If you have a sweet tooth, then this is your answer if you want eat them all the time but still live for 100 years. You're welcome.

See you next week,

Josh.
