A Reason To Be Optimistic 11 Jan 2013 | 12:47 am
For mostly personal reasons, 2012 was a disappointing year for me, but I have to say I don’t think it was a particularly good year for new music either. Sure, there were lots of singles and EPs from p...
New Year, New (Mostly Old) Music 7 Jan 2013 | 05:38 am
I’ll be trying something new this year: instead of making compilations that are downloadable only during a relatively brief, four-week window, I’d like to try using mixcloud to publish the compilation...
A Place In The Sun 30 Oct 2012 | 08:23 pm
Generally speaking, I have come to the conclusion that there is only so much Shoegazing to be found in any band. Whether a band eventually goes Electronica like Curve, goes Alt Country like Moose, or ...
Don’t Call Us… 27 Sep 2012 | 11:49 pm
Strangely, there has been a recent increase in bands trying to contact me. I have purposely avoided including any contact information on this blog, because I don’t enjoy telling people that their musi...

Although most of the problems I was dealing with at the time I decided to take a break from blogging have been resolved, I am not going to return to trying to uncover and introduce new bands. I will i...
A Worthy Cause 17 Feb 2012 | 06:30 am
If you liked Gypsy Death and You‘s E.P. No. 1 (and who didn’t?), you’ll want to drop by their fundraising page and make a donation that will help Alex and Emily finance their second release. Donations...
Work Stoppage 5 May 2011 | 05:56 am
Due to massive upheavals in my personal and family life, I currently don’t have the time or inclination to write about music. I don’t know when (or even if) this will change, so I would like, once aga...
