I Write About Music
Music lover with excellent taste
Hi, I run two sites about music. And they're both great. Get in touch. I might even bother to reply.
- Here Comes The Flood
- herecomestheflood.com
- A weblog about music
- Launched in 2004
- Fear Is A Man's Best Friend
- fearismansbestfriend.nl
- All about John Cale
- Launched in 1999
I am passionate about music. I am dead serious about music. I listen to music. I watch music. I read about music. I talk about music. I buy music. So it makes sense that I write about music.
Styles covered: anything with a pulse, so: Americana, folk, rock, heavy metal, dance, funk, jazz, country, punk, bluegrass, rockabilly, post-punk, new wave, blues, noise, hard rock, surf, shoegaze, electronica, indie, avant-garde, pop, jam bands, (neo)-classical, Krautrock, power pop, experimental, post-rock, dream pop, minimal, industrial, vaudeville, singer-songwriters... The ability to play the music in a live setting is considered to be a big plus.
No reggae or modern day R&B, no fucking Auto-Tune. Tried it, hated it.
Note: my address for sending me stuff can not be found here. It will be supplied to you after I have contacted you. I like some privacy, old fashioned I know.

Live at Le Guess Who?
Filled to the rafters with carefully orchestrated, baroque pop. He plays with light and shade, with the latter coming out on top, even when melancholy comes up with a half-hearted attempt to gain dominance.
Glyn Bailey
Oran's World
Chicago based psychedelic blues band Razorhouse are not particularly happy about the state of things, now that fascism is becoming fashionable and science and facts no longer seem to matter.
Razorhouse
Songs About Bunnies & Crocodiles
They should teach songs like Looking At The Angel, Withered Roses and the Ballad Of Casey Deiss at music education centres to show the students the capabilities of the human voice and guitar in popular music.

Outrageous
A bit of daydreaming never hurt anybody. Cherishing the little things in life enables people to cope and humming along to these carefully crafted indie pop songs is surely near the top of the list.
The Gentle Spring
Looking Back At The World
This a guitarists' guitar album, making them fell in love with their instrument again and go with the flow as unexpected notes and chord changes make themselves heard.
