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

- 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.

Kohlstedt is always aware that the space between is as important as the music itself and that repetition can induce a trance-like vibe that lifts him and the audience before he goes back to the earth with a choice melody.

Live
Besides punk and New Wave, gnarly Nineties alternative rock is now part of the equation. Think The Cure meets Dinosaur Jr, with both of them on steroids.

Elements from traditional classical music, avant garde, jazz, minimalism, and ambient mixed with static noises. Nakano solidifies his status as a driving force for 21st century modernism.

The trio goes through hills and valleys, touching base with math rock, straight up metal, funk, noise, and a few other diversions that have not been named yet.

Latching onto a theme, a groove or a lick and see how far it will go, seems to be their modus operandi to get a track off the ground. It is a kaleisdocope with dazzling sound effects.

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.
