The best way I can sum up my obsessions as a listener is that, if it was played on 120 Minutes, I like it. I like hooky songwriting, strange noises, big fuzzy basses, gnarly drum tones, interesting voices, and bands that know when to end a song. Beyond that, I will occasionally defend butt rock, mom rock, turn of the millennium pop rock, and various other genres considered uncool. I probably also have untapped interest in warped electronica and really lo-fi, crappy hip-hop music. Ask me again in ten years.
The old five-point scale has been retired in favor of just rating stuff 1-10, which allows me a much more nuanced final rating. Still don't take it that seriously. Most of these come from my own collection, so the grades skew rather high. Your results may vary if you send me stuff to review.
I now have an RSS feed for these reviews! If you'd like to know when I write a new one, feel free to feed your reader with it. If you don't know what RSS is, it's a way to see site updates and articles without needing Twitter. Here's some recommendations for good RSS readers, ones for retro PCs notwithstanding.
Also, want a peek at what I'll be reviewing next?
