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.

Long form songs inspired by the trump cards from a Tarot deck. Punkers of all ages will be running for the hills after reading a sentence like this, but stick around, because this record has something for everyone.
Bluesy stompers Pardon Me (What Did He Say) and Mister Morning might get people in some trouble on the dance floor for being a little too much lost in the groove. Bad news for the competition: they are not done yet.
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.
