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.

Crooners are not known for going in at the deep end, but White's lyrical depth enables him to be a chronicler, a roving, well-read reporter. An album that is stylish, sleazy, sexy and even a bit dangerous.
Ward White
Ward White Is The Matador (10th Anniversary Edition)
Songwriter Knable shares his hopes and dreams, as well as his doubts and uncertainties in plain language, with his band providing a safety net besides being on point with a subtle mix of folk, blues, country and gospel.
Jim Knable & The Randy Bandits
Pale Fire
Canadian punkers are having fun by being angry. Every track could have been released as a single, honouring the old punk adage to come to the point real quick and make it catchy as Hell.
Real Sickies
Under a Plastic Bag
Punk is alive and well in Helsinki, Finland. Tuomas Kotialho's fuzzy bass front and center, as singer Jukka-Pekka Talsi sings about his everyday troubles and first world problems during a holiday in Italy.

The sound is murky, but that is by design. Anderson doesn't do pretty. He is a rocker, who makes his guitar scream and howl as he strangles the neck of his instrument. A 101 for DIY music against all odds.
Minorcan
Rock Alone
Textures that people can dance to with their eyes closed, being transported to another world where the good guys are actually winning. The subtle, sensuous songs show more and different colours after each listen.
