Things I learned lately 6 Apr


  • Brittany Howard, the lead singer and guitarist from the Band Alabama Shakes, has synesthesia, which means she sees sounds as colours.
  • Jimmy Page played an out-of-tune Fender 10-string steel guitar on the track 'Your time is gonna come'. He stated that he first learned how to play the steel guitar during the sessions for the first album.
  • Sade started out as a fashion designer of men's clothing.
  • Virgin Hyperloop One is in talks with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to build a hyperloop network that could connect Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah and Abu Dhabi. The company claims that it could get passengers from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in 12 minutes, normally a two hour drive. The network would reduce the 10 hour trip from Riyadh to Jeddah to 76 minutes.
  • Black Panther will be the first movie publicly shown in Saudi Arabia after a 35 year ban on cinema.
  • A police officer from Texas who went to jail undercover for 8 weeks quit the force after he got out of jail.
