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.

Jeffrey Halford is never afraid to point out his flaws and making fun of them, like the cool uncle who will pick a guitar and tell a story that will make you laugh, cry or think.
Jeffrey Halford & The Healers
Used Parts
Originally envisioned as an EP with politically charged songs, he found himself pulled into storytelling folk songs. Hart keeps it deceptively straightforward.
J..M. Hart
Headwaters
Psychedelic raga band keeps it closer to home on their new album ASHA, a mixed bag of politically charged rockers, soul-searching love songs and dealing with the suicide of a close friend.
Elephant Stone
ASHA
A baker's dozen of songs about fucking up, brawls, trying to make amends and the like. They sound rough and muzzy, but the energy is just what one might need after a bad day.
Wine Lips
TV Dinner
Part Hawkwind and Porcupine Tree, but with twists and turns that come close to showing off for like-minded musicians and rock fans who want to venture into uncharted waters.
The Spacelords
Uranus Omnibus Sanctus
A relaxing excursion, with a prominent role for the piano. It taps listeners gently on the shoulder, inviting them to step into a dream world where beauty and art reign in unison.
Hunter Complex
Call of the Wild and Void
He mixes up krautrock with psychedelica, noisy rumblings that sound like mushy demos made by Mark E. Smith, on his own again after he fired all the pickup players once again.
Jumble Hole Clough
I'm Waiting for My Mam
They rose through the ranks really fast. Thankfully the suits let them do whatever the fuck they wanted to do and record: quirky songs that would never have survived a clean production.
Westside Cowboy
It Goes On
The mood is both joyous and introspective, going through hills and valleys. The musicians reach for the sky, fully aware that the destination will remain out of reach.
