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.

Testing the boundaries of self-inflicted limitations: it's just him, a guitar and a slide, but can he conjure up whole sun-beaten worlds, places where loners feel comfortable.
All music was improvised on the spot. The rhythms never shift dramatically. Tension and release are brought upon by bringing the various instruments to the fore.
His slightly hoarse vocals, bass and drums are smack in the middle of the mix most of the time, with the other instruments and backing vocals swirling around them.
Six pieces about subjects that are close to their heart, with subtle shifts, vocals buried in the mix, and a prominent role for the bass to keep it altogether.
When their cond album was released in 1970, it sort of fell in between the cracks. Music was getting louder and playing live venues as an acoustic act did not work.
Playing super tight but loose sounding grooves their update of 70s dance music by inserting so many other genres that listeners will lose count, is damn impressive.
IM PEACH 3 goes through hills and valleys, switching between country (seriously), ambient, noise, free jazz, and post-rock. A 40 minutes plus rollercoaster ride.
