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.

The band keeps exploring the back roads next to the power pop highway, with busy drums, tons of of echo and reverb, multi-layered call-and-response vocals and the swirling string parts.
White's mix of art rock and crooner-infused arrangements are tailor-made to point out the cracks in the glitter-and-gold facade. He draws blood, but he is always at the ready to cover up the wounds with stylish bandages and stitches.
His music allowed him to travel, while being stuck in the middle of nowhere in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Nicholl did some serious soul-searching, but it never gets larmoyant - no signs of self-pity or getting his knickers in a twist.
The four tracks unfold themselves like flowers reaching for the first rays of the sun, an amalgam of pastoral drones, acoustic guitar, and neo-classical arrangements. Each note is played with utmost care and precision, creating a trance-like flow of music..
