This week’s Five Things…

  1. Don’t you just love it when you discover an amazing new band? Black Pumas on NPR’s Tiny Desk.

  2. Nils Frahm has a new live album and accompanying concert streaming on MUBI (you can sign up for a free trial to watch the show). As always it’s very good. My favourite Nils Frahm, is live Nils Frahm.

  3. 52 things Tom Whitwell learned this year.

  4. One of the best things I read this week, Russ Roberts (host of EconTalk) on self image.

  5. And another one of the best things I read this week! Really interesting post by Anton Howes on how London became the Goliath we know today. Fun fact: “By 1700, the city [London] was nineteen times the size of second-place Norwich — even though Norwich’s population had more or less tripled.”
