Getintothis top five #51: most read music, gigs, features and stories of the week

The Getintothis top five stories of the week

At the conclusion of another week, Getintothis’ Max Richardson rounds up the top stories of the week.

Well, I feel it’s fairly safe to say that we’re marking the end of what has been for many people the strangest week of their life.

As all of us are no doubt facing the prospect of spending more time at home, for whatever reason, it’s a great time to settle down with creative media – whether music, film, television, or books.

This writer is considering whether the mighty 3.5 hour runtime of Scorsese’s The Irishman suddenly seems quite as ludicrous as it perhaps did when it came out just a few months ago.

In other news this week, this writer managed to finish Sir Billy Connolly’s Tall Tales and Wee Stories – which in this climate is a simply excellent read.

The book recounts tales both fictional and presumably truthful from Connolly’s life, and is truly laugh out loud funny in many parts.

Caribou’s new album Suddenly: “A sense of familiarity amid the chaos”

Of course – we’ve also got the chance to check out some new releases, and discover old classics which have perhaps passed us by, or even revisit loved albums.

This week has seen Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue make a welcome return to the headphones of this writer – and has no doubt been responsible for putting many more of the nation at ease.

Have you got any tips for books, television, film or music which you’re enjoying in these strange times? We’d love to hear them – so please do feel free to let us and others know in the comments below.

Anyway, let’s crack on with what we’re all here for – the Getintothis Top Five:
