NFTRW Weekly Top Five

Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:

A Note on Saying Thank You

SoundGirls.org: When I was 16, I was hired for my first front-of-house position. In my new role as “person in charge” I quickly began noticing all of the little obstacles that seemed to appear each night. They had been present before, of course, but never so obvious. The way that bands assumed anyone in the room except me was the sound engineer. The flashes of surprise that crossed their faces upon being pointed my way.

How to Use a Screw Extractor | Remove Damaged Screws Like a Pro!

www.protoolreviews.com: Rounded-out screws got you down? We’ll show you how to use a screw extractor to remove damaged screws. Do it right, and you can back a busted screw out of its hiding place in less than a minute. Of course, you need the right tool.

A Virtual Theatre Book Group

Exeunt Magazine: Between livestreams, Zoom meetings and newsfeeds, lockdown is a time where you can rack up horrifying screentime stats without even noticing. Give your eyes a rest with some of these theatre-related books. Exeunt writers have scoured their shelves to dig out the hefty volumes that they’ve finally got time to tackle – or the papery old friends that they’re returning to for comfort and inspiration.

Music Copyright Infringement Is Beginning To Make Sense Again

www.forbes.com: Although lawyers and musicologists can argue over the finer points, for the longest time the judgments in copyright infringement cases made sense to the average music lover. It didn’t take an advanced degree to recognize that George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” was pretty darn close to The Chiffons’ “He’s So Fine,” or that Led Zeppelin lifted riffs and lyrics from Willie Dixon.

In Extraordinary Times, Simple Things Matter

Hydraulics & Pneumatics: These are extraordinary days. I don’t think that is an understatement. The global coronavirus pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we live, work and gather together. Conferences and events throughout the world have been cancelled, borders have been closed and even casual meetings now take place at a distance.
