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.

Kalamata
Zenosyne
Irish quintet goes for a widescreen sound on their debut EP. They put folk, post-punk and shoegaze in a blender and topped it off with the crystal clear lead vocals.
Theatre
Incarnate
His new album is the result of many years of study of North Indian Hindustani classical music with Samir Chatterjee and mixing it with his contemporary jazz skills.
Xander Naylor
Children of Sound
An album about trying to make sense of the women he has encountered. It is about love, loss and feeling out of one's depth, but not in an unpleasant way.
Conrad Freling
Through The Glass Of A Radiostore
Should they have put up a fight? Nah, it is safer choice to plug in their instruments and turn their grief and anger into a bunch of songs that are decidedly British.
Terra Twin
Scumbag
Amidst a stack of field recordings that sound like crap on purpose, white noise and unrelenting drones Lagerkvist creates an universe where humankind is insignificant.
