TRY IT: Why say something when you can lip sync it? With mobile app Dubsmash it's easy to find your favourite sound and share it with the world. You can also add filters and text to suit. Available at the AppStore and Google play.

WATCH IT: Fans of author Michael Connelly's books will want to check out Bosch, now showing on the Box (Sky channel 5). Starring Titus Welliver (Lost's Man in Black) in the title role, the show takes its inspiration from three of Connelly's novels: City of Bones, Echo Park and The Concrete Blonde. It's on Thursdays at 8.30pm, and repeated throughout the week including on Mondays at 9.30pm.

SEE IT: Pitch Perfect 2 sees the return of the awkward Barden University a capella singing group led by Anna Kendrick's Beca. The first film saw them fight their way to a capella glory with their pop mash-ups. This time they're taking on the world. Great for fans of Glee - and Rebel Wilson's always worth a laugh.

DOWNLOAD IT: Check out London trio Haelos, who will release their debut EP Earth Not Above at the end of the month. It's an urban sound, evoking 90s artists like Portishead and Massive Attack. Their newly launched website includes a free download of their cover of The Beloved's The Sun Rising.

HEAR IT: If you're not one of those who tunes in to Mike Hosking in the morning on the radio or in the evening on the telly, you may still enjoy Jeremy Wells' Like Mike rant. Wells, from Radio Hauraki's breakfast show, does a regular parody rant of the popular broadcast host. Check out this link - bit.ly/HoskingHenry - to get his take on broadcast rival Paul Henry.
