Looking for brains to pick - do you have a teenager who is into their music? Ideally playing it as well as listening. Would they be prepared to name their top 3-4 artists whose music they love/ would love to play? (Not nec contemporary) Would love to hear here / via DM

@AdamRutherford The two synth chords at 2:42 in 'Wish You Were Here' by Floyd get me every time https://t.co/CAkcJjRxu6

[Ben Swan @BSwanMusic]

@AdamRutherford 'Love Of My Life' by Queen has a perfect minute - The descending bass run underneath the rich vocal harmonies that lead into the most tonally and melodically beautiful guitar solo ever played bring tears to my eyes every time (2:16) https://t.co/JmjD0oSz4n

@AdamRutherford Jacob Collier's simple vocal harmony when the verse triumphantly returns after an opus of gradually building complexity in 'Hideaway' at 5:37 https://t.co/Y8l2Ls8Fsd

@AdamRutherford The harsh chord Jeff Buckley plucks to end the intro of Hallelujah at 0:45 https://t.co/VRI4uqMDCO

@AdamRutherford Great thread. I'll post a few of mine: The piccolo flute in the second verse of Bowie's 'Life On Mars' (1:53) https://t.co/pPEuD3G7jn

@wilderkingdom @YouTube Thanks for sharing my arrangement, Matthew! This was fun.

@greg_jenner Thanks Greg

@greg_jenner Greg, I’m a big fan of YD2M. I was hoping you’d consider recording the voices in stereo, with historian panned slightly left and comedian slightly right with you in the centre? I find it quite hard to distinguish who’s speaking when and this would really help

Had a load of stuff stolen from my lockup in Lewisham recently, including my beloved Mapex Venus kit that I got for my 4th birthday and still used in my adult life. Probably all likely to be shipped abroad, keep an eye out. Full gear list in the photo, please retweet.

@santanderukhelp Hi. On Saturday I attempted to deposit a cheque to my account via a Santander cash point on Piccadilly, but the machine ate up the cheque without debiting my account. What do I do now?

[Ben Swan @BSwanMusic]

Hi, @damienegan. I am a musician, born and bred in Brockley, Lewisham. The music in Hilly Fields made a huge positive impact on my mental health this year. If Lewisham is the borough of culture 2021 we need you to support us. Bring back the jam! #SeshGate

We asked @JohnAmaechi, psychologist, best-selling author and former NBA basketball player to explain it for us.
