Indie music mainstay Sidd Coutto has had his practice routine disrupted due to the lockdown. But he's occupying his time listening to his favourite bands and watching the news.
LISTEN: I have been listening to a lot of this band called The Map Room. They are from New Zealand, and very few people know about them. I met them at a festival in Pune where they played, and later searched for their music and found some new stuff. I highly recommend them especially since, like I said, not too many people have heard them. I'll also listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn, because I love him. He is my favourite guitar player, at least when it comes to the blues.

WATCH: I will watch The Mandalorian, which is a new show on Baby Yoda from Star Wars. I am a fan of the franchise, though not a crazy one. I will also be watching a lot of news shows - not on TV, but on YouTube - to stay abreast.
PRACTISE: I have been practising at home instead of on my terrace since too many people have been going up there. Since I have been watching so much news, I am feeling too serious and heavy to actually compose new music. To conquer that, I started writing funny songs. But this is not
a funny time, and I am thus in a Catch-22 situation.
