Mark Van Hoen at The Vinyl District
Electronic music is often judged on the breakthroughs reliably brought to the turntable by fresh voices.

Presents for Sally at POP! Stereo
You know you’re old when you’ve lived through a movement long enough to see kids fascinated by it and decide to imitate and embrace it wholeheartedly. Such is me and the case of Presents for Sally. This band so encapsulates the Oxford and Leeds shoegazing scenes from the 90’s that it makes me feel like… Continue reading Presents for Sally at POP! Stereo

One of my stories was published in the high school’s literary magazine. The previous year, I wrote Don’t Underestimate Sour Meat, which was shown to the… Continue reading Thee Koukouvaya at Indiessance
