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.

The Ladybug Transistor were seriously out of step with what was popular in 1999, but the music has aged well as fine wine. Fads come and go, but quality always finds a way in the long run.

The Albemarle Sound (25th Anniversary Expanded Edition)
Doubt and anxiety can be crippling, as the pair tries to keep their demons at bay in a haze of trip-hop and a sometimes surprisingly rough back beat. They rely on each other to compete against the odds.

Shaping the Void
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.

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
An ode to the countryside where life does not flash you by, but where you have an opportunity to stare into the distance. O, and getting away with murder.
William William Rodgers
Pond Life
Touching base with folk and pastoral psychedelic pop, the album has a Laurel Canyon vibe that conjures up the warmth of a glorious Spring day in the midst of a rainy day in Winter.
