Five Good Things - 12th April 2024
Dropping by to share a few of my favourite discoveries this week
Hello readers and welcome to this space which includes my weekly creative recommendations via ‘Five Good Things’, as well as business smarts, timeless philosophy, and insights from being a woman in music. I also share occasional interviews with female musicians. This is made possible by paid subscribers. Consider upgrading your subscription xoxo
Last Friday’s backdrop 🪩 location is Cafe 1001 on Dray Walk.
Good Photography
This week, we’ve chatting about finstas (secret instas) and what they should be used for. I have one for the pure purpose of tracking and saving moments for myself, which would otherwise be lost in my camera roll. Lots of creatives have them to store their inspiration.
Photographer Sophie Jones has a B-Roll account with some really nice action shots on it.
Good Food
My dad cooked for me on Wednesday! He made this super simple and delicious spaghetti courtesy of Angela Hartnett. Needs good quality tinned toms, and remove the anchovies to make it vegan. (you won’t miss em ;))
Good Shoes
The next pair I’ll be purchasing are these heeled ‘babies’ from Jonak.
V cute.
Good Trip
Last Saturday, I took the train from Stratford International to Whitstable. Its only one hour - I edited an episode of a podcast on the way there, and worked on a music loop on the way back. I’d woken up with a real craving to see the sea and popping down there was so easy, simple escapism.
Good Words
“Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.”
- Oscar Wilde
My live stream, recorded from Radio 1001, is now available to watch back on Youtube 🌻
I also announced the launch of a new podcast this week under the
umbrella. It’s exploring entrepreneurship and growth in music. I’ll be posting it on the DMD substack, but you can also follow on Spotify. Episodes go live next Wednesday :) xThat's all homies see you next time x
P.S. Have any thoughts on this week’s content? Let me know in the comments :)
