Hi!  I like to talk about music.  Or write about it, more precisely.  Communicate with people about it.  Whatever.  Sometimes I come across a new album and after a few spins on the record player, I want to tell everybody how great it is, so I set up this place to be able to do that.  It’s usually something along the stoner/doom spectrum, hence the name of the site, but I dig on rock & roll in its many incarnations.  I used to write reviews for some online review sites, but I got fed up with it because 1) deadlines suck the joy out of writing, 2) I was uncomfortable professing to be an expert who could assign objective ratings to something so subjective, and 3) there’s a lot of bad music out there, and I’d had my fill of writing about things I didn’t enjoy.  I want to tell people about the things I do like, and share music with them that means something to me instead of giving the hater side of me an excuse to rage.

I’m not trying to break new bands here or be the first on the scene.  “New” to me just means something I haven’t heard or given much attention to before.  It might be a legitimate new release, but it’s just as likely to be something from 40 years ago that someone recently turned me on to.  Either way it’s something I think my friends would enjoy and I want to spread the word about it.

I also like talking about talking about music.  I mean, I consume a lot of other media by and about musicians, and I want to share those things too- as well as talk about the experience of being both a musician and a fan, and how those parts of my identity influence the way I listen to music.

May the fuzz be with you.
