Some Music That Slipped through the Culture Cracks
As is the case every year, I start reading year-end lists posted by trusted peers/journalists and discover I've missed plenty of deserving culture. With the glut of films, music, theater, TV shows, books, et al. on numerous websites, TV screens, bookshelves, and periodicals, it's fairly easy. Truth be told, in addition to P.J. Harvey's much-deserved kudos, other women singers/songwriters/bands really stepped up their game this year, making many top ten year-end lists, and I missed out on discovering some of them.

The peaceful Wapping peninsula is the perfect start to a charming riverside stroll.

For a more central, more French start to the day, head into Soho for the spectacular pastries of Maison Bertaux (28 Greek St, 020-7437 6007). It's an intimate, bohemian deli packed full of rickety seating, pink nets and accordions. I suspect that their croissants were the solution to those European butter mountains we used to hear about. After you're done,...
