Who is your favourite writer?

There are so many different styles in writing a book. I love the easy going basically "plain" ones but I also love the deepness and the poetry some writers bring to it.

So Sarah J Maas is a fantasy godess, I would read every single book of hers (working on it).

I love Lilly Lindner (german author), she writes heartbreakingly beautiful storys as close as it can get to poetry without losing the flow of the story that's told. As I don't read a lot in german, because of writing styles and wording, she, Thomas Glavinic and Benedikt Wells are my favorite german authors.

Emily Henry is one of my favorites because every single book of hers is so relatable, so beautifully written and makes me feel all my feelings all of the time.

Cecilia Ahern is also a master of her trade, telling love stories that capture every possible emotion in great wording.

And the list isn't complete without Diana Gabaldon (author of the outlander series) and Steven King (didn't read much from him but wow). I'm in awe of their creativity, fantasy and commitment to their story. It feels like you're right there with them.

The Lemonheads Live Show Review: 12/30, Evanston SPACE

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Even on a live full album play-through, you didn't think Evan Dando would do the expected, did you? On the second night of The Lemonheads' three-evening run at SPACE in Evanston, the band was slated to play Come On Feel The Lemonheads, the 1993 follow-up to their previous year breakthrough, It's A Shame About Ray. When Dando (dressed in a button up shirt patterned with the head of Biggie Smalls in his iconic crown photo), bassist Farley Glavin, and drummer John Kent took the stage, instead of launching into the opening lines of "The Great Big NO", they noodled. They started playing something that sounded kind of like Echo & The Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon", and lo and behold, it was. Sure, they'd launch into Come On Feel the Lemonheads next, but in 2023, a cover felt like the most appropriate way to start off the night for the band.

It's well-known by now: The Lemonheads haven't released an album of original material since their 2006 self-titled record, and the two LPs dropped since then were both covers albums. While Dando is purportedly working on new material, it's the way the band has reinvented canonical songs--and live, even their own--that makes their shows stand out. On Saturday, the current incarnation of the band turned "Rick James Style"--itself a slowed down version of "Style"--into a Crazy Horse-style dirge. They forewent the wiry stylings of "Being Around" in favor of a punkier, electric version. And whether it was a mistake or intentional, they switched the order of "Favorite T" and "Being Around" in the album, always keeping us on our toes. (Unfortunately, they also couldn't play closer "The Jello Fund", unable to borrow SPACE's piano.)

Better yet, Dando's mid-concert solo acoustic set was all covers, from songs The Lemonheads had recorded (Victoria Williams' inspiring "Frying Pan", Hair highlight "Frank Mills") to unexpected genre-averse adaptations (Black Sabbath's "Sleeping Village" and "Snowblind", Duke Ellington's "Solitude"). The band joined him for four final songs, two solo Dando numbers, featuring Kent's skittering brushwork on "Hard Drive", and Lemonheads classics "Hospital" and "My Drug Buddy". The band eschewed the disassociated psychedelia of the recorded version of "Drug Buddy", turning it instead into a country folk stomp that fit right in with Dando's Tim Hardin and and Townes Van Zandt covers. One last time, The Lemonheads curated something previously familiar to us, all over again, in a new way.

The Lemonheads, New Year's Eve
