I Write About Music
Hi, I run two sites about music. And they're both great. Get in touch. I might even bother to reply.
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 uninitiated are lured in with accessible intros and easy-on-the-ears melodies, only to find themselves lost in a maze of dazzling musicianship.
Grey is the main colour, but there are also brighter touches as glimmers of hope shine through, especially when all musicians step up to the mike, acting as a Greek chorus.
The melodica is a fiercely uncool musical instrument, but its happy-sad tone fits the mood of the songs like a glove. It is a wholesome collection of songs, maybe a bit naive even, but also comforting for anyone who has lost his bearings.
The crumbling social cohesion shines through some of the new songs. Those are, although still highly personal, also dealing with the shehanigans and clusterfucks happening in the outside world.
