Golden Globes time! I’m particularly excited about any love for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but this show is giving me some anxiety about all of the movies and TV shows I haven’t seen from 2017.  I’d say I’ll make time to see at least one movie next week, but I feel like there are way too many musical events to attend including my top pick of K.Flay with Sir Sly at The Fonda Friday night.

Happy 2018! I know 2017 wasn’t the best year for everyone, but I think I made out okay.  It was a year for a new job, new friends, and new adventures including two trips to Europe, a baseball game in St. Louis, and two out of town music festivals!  I’m still working on my 2017 Music Mix, but it was a fairly decent year for music.  2017 marked the discovery of favorite bands like Picture This and Sur, the resurgence of Sir Sly, the continuing growth of Irontom, a reunion for Jealousy Curve, new albums for Barnes Courtney and Nothing But Thieves, the grand debut of Mondo Cozmo, and a very long list of amazing shows.  I think, however, that my band of the year is probably The Wrecks who I believe will dominate in 2018 when they (hopefully and finally) release an album…or at least more than three songs…

I’m not sure what my first show of 2018 will be but we have a few options next week. I’ve got my eyes on Lewis Capaldi at Moroccan Lounge…we shall see!

Here’s what else I’m thinking:

 

Monday: Happy New Year!!!

Friday: The Revies, Madus, The Modern Mad at The Satellite (9pm)
ALSO: Anthony Green, Casey Abrams at The Hotel Cafe (8, 9:30)
ALSO: Hot Water Music at The Regent Theater (8pm)

I hope everyone is having a marvelous Christmas! I’m attempting to do a thing with a stovetop and a steamer as I’m staying at a friend’s place looking after her dog, a 13-year-old dachshund named Pierre.  I’m particularly excited as I am in walking distance of work. It is very possible that, for the next few days, I can avoid driving altogether! Merry Christmas to me!  I would say the entire week would be driving-light except there are a surprising number of exciting shows on the calendar, including a few that are not quite in the neighborhood.  We have one more week in 2017, let’s make it count!
