Social Media. Social MEEEEEDJA. It’s the home of the hipster, the media graduate, the self-obsessed teenage girl and, sadly, photographers. It’s almost a necessary evil these days, but don’t worry – we’ve enlisted Instagram expert Matt Day of MattDayPhoto.com to help guide you through this horrid, self-absorbed world of likes, retweets and shares. None of us can claim the title of “social media maven” (and you’d be perfectly entitled to stab us in the face if we did) but this should help you get your social media strategy and content calendar dialled in for 2015.

For this week’s “music” we’ve returned to Bob Loftin’s noise-making – in part because it makes us laugh, and in part because it’s barely listenable, and we like testing you. If you enjoy self-flagallation, you can listen to the full piece at Concrete Lunch, his blog of noise experiments and skateboard-related ramblings.
