Music reviews

and other assorted nonsense

I ran this music blog from autumn 2008 through until spring 2014. I owe a lot to this blog as it taught me the basic skills I needed to get started in what is now my career: web developmnent. For a long time this site was properly dead (I'd closed down the hosting account that the blog lived on) but here it is, resurrected! These pages are an archive of the ~200 reviews and articles I wrote during that time.
