Spotify Wrapped tells me that I should be living in York, UK. This is not terribly surprising given that my playlists are peppered with British rock bands. Topping my list this year were The Hara, Bilk, and King No-One. Now I must plot my return to that part of the world so that I can commune with my music-loving peers!

In the meantime, I am happy to be in Los Angeles where Wednesday night will be a gathering of many familiar faces at the Lodge Room to celebrate Nico Vega’s first headlining show in years. This is not to be missed!
