Best shows of 2018: Winter Kills, the reformed Pano Magic at Antenna Studios in Crystal Palace, were utterly magnificent. Ten songs of incredible beauty. And Sevdaliza at The Barbican in London was amazing. She can heal us all. And The Contessa’s pick was in the top three too…

@PRB - Cool, you were there, too? I stood against the wall next to the merch table for the evening. Big Blood's daughter called into Wake & Bake recently and she was charming.

Adrian in London:

@JasonInBoston Jonathan Richman, who I love, once got VERY pissed of with me for chatting with him while I was sitting on a guitar flight case of one of his support act, The Bhundu Boys. You know, one of those flight cases that protect guitars from being dropped from great heights, rather than being sat on by someone who weighed nine stone st the most…

Emboldened to hear someone described you as a sexist (I don't believe it) I'll risk passing along an old joke. A man remarks to a woman "I like the way you roll your R's". She replies, "most gentlemen compliment my eyes" Happy New Year Sheila B!

The Oscar:

Tuning in late! Saw altogether too few shows this year, but Scott Thompson's one-man Buddy Cole show was one for the ages. I also caught a very cool and intimate solo show by Negativland's Mark Hosler (and - shameless plug - I got to interview him too! bostonhassle.com...

Did I just put myself as less cool for using Guster on the Ocean as an excuse to both go to Maine and finally marry my man of 15 years? Because even if so, I’m still smiling about it. Was an amazing weekend!!!

@Ken: No, I didn't attend. I barely do anything worthwhile, but that Big Blood show was very, very tempting. I have to find that call from BB's daughter to W'n'Bake--sounds adorable.
