Occasional links - 16.07.2022

Hello, 

Back again. Here are ten links that might be of interest whilst you shelter from the heat and Tory party leadship contest. 

Larnell Lewis Hears "Enter Sandman" For The First Time
... and plays the drums for it near perfectly! His ability to hear such complex sounds and then play them back is extraordinary. This follow-up with another drummer is also equally as joyful. You think they're going to be critical but it's more joy and love for it. The comments on both are also good. 

Pool time
When the dog isn't meant to be in the pool but really does want to be in the pool, and repeat.

Upside-down fig tree in Bacoli, Italy.
"No one is quite sure how the tree ended up there or how it survived, but year after year it continues to grow downwards and bear figs."

...that’s my first 6 months in a senior leadership role done. 
Some advice on leadership. 

Henry the hoover on tour
Just a little red hoover living his best life. 

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood
Thanks to Neil Mac for this after a conversation about amazing covers and this one in particular (it takes guts to play this in front of Led Zeppelin)

Here's how to be a better manager in a remote (distributed) team
Some great advice in here for both online and in person management. 

A soft-rock station in Vancouver has been playing "Killing In the Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine for hours on a loop.
Something I can really get behind. Click/tap through for more amusing details. 

Running and grief
Swap in your favourite sport/activity/pal. Please be warned that this isn't an easy read, but is important. 
Thanks to Andy Waterman for sharing, and for his coaching and guidance for my attempts at running.

Worst bands of the 00s
Awkward in places, but largely fair... some of these I still listen to. But mainly for the 'Kerrang' factor. 

See you again soon (maybe). 

Love as always, 

Andy x
