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, heavy metal, dance, funk, jazz, country, punk, bluegrass, rockabilly, new wave, blues, rock, noise, surf, shoegaze, trash, electronica, avant-garde, pop, jam bands, (neo)-classical, Krautrock, experimental, industrial, post-rock, no wave, 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.

Limbo
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.

It Goes On
