It’s Wednesday, so we would normally say “happy humpday,” except we haven’t really reached the hump yet. Deep sigh. We suggest spending a few gorgeous minutes with Geographer (below), then consult our list of today’s live streams.

ONLINE FIND

■ Geographer has a new album on the way — more on that later, it’s scheduled for a May release — but during this lockdown Mike Deni has been randomly sharing ambient tracks. Watch Geographer’s Facebook for more, but in the meantime enjoy this three minutes of bliss. It’s good for what ails us.
