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.

Recent reviews
Seattle based garage-rockers go all out with late night songs about zombies, ghosts, sex (and sex with ghosts), politics and what-have-you.
The Darts
Halloween Love Songs
Wandering around in silent wonder is the best way to get a hold on these compositions, that deserve to be enjoyed in one, undisturbed sitting.
Magnify The Sound
Searching for a quiet place
Sounding chipper and upbeat, but also taking a scalpel to everything that bothers them or really pisses them off, shows that they haven't slowed down.
Heavenly
Highway To Heavenly
A record that can stand on its own with the instruments doing the talking, taking listeners by the hand to show them a movie of their own invention.
Ella van der Woude
How to Shoot a Ghost
Pink-punk band crammed three high energy songs into their EP, about girl trouble, boys of all ages being annoying and stupid, and night life in general.
Honey Blonde
Honey Blonde
The band won't pick up any points for originality, but top marks for riffs and hooks. Think REM on speed, with Sugar on top.
SLIP~ons
Overtime
Daydreaming and writing and recording music are her go-to safe spaces right now. Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer can relate to her Chemo Song.
Lucy Kitchen
In the Low Light
An album for rainy days. It won't chase away the demons, but it will be a bit harder for them to get the upper hand.
Captain Wilberforce
Another World. Another Life. Another Time.
The band dresses themselves in full-colour melodies, creating a buzz without any side effects, save for the urge to play the album again. And again.
Would-Be-Goods
Tears Before Bedtime
