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

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.

If only a small percentage of the listeners will hit the bookshops after hearing the album, it is mission accomplished for a band that is not afraid to offer a challenge as a means of showing the beauty of literature by means of carefully crafted music.

The Sudbury Inn
She is also a visual artist and this has spilled over to her music. It has a kaleidoscopic quality, twirling and captivating, a rabbit hole for the listener to dive into and end up in Messing's alternate universe where everything is slightly different.
La Faute
Blue Girl Nice Day
Multi-instrumentalist Hector and drummer Brown are sonic explorers, providing the soundtrack for embarking on adventurous journeys from the comfort of your own home. Their ability to transport the listener is top-shelf.
The Reservists
Foreign Lands
With its plethora of chopped riffs and flawlessly exexcuted challenging time signatures, the band is ready to go out on the road again and get the well-deserved respect form both musos and metal heads for bringing art to the heavy rock scene.

This Is What A Winner Looks Like
LA based retro-baroque pop duo Vanity Mirror channel the late '60s on their debut album, PUFF, using nylon string guitars and a Mellotron like they are going out of style. They obviously are in love with the Kinks and the bands of the Canterbury scene.

Brighton based sextet Opus Kink has already released three singles - Dust, 1 -18 and Children - from their new My Eyes, Brother! EP, so it's not too unlikely to conclude they might have peaked too soon. As it stands, they saved the best for last.
