i've always been a huge music fan. some artists i like include: radiohead, jack off jill, mudhoney, dead kennedys, sixousee, the smiths, car seat headrest, blur, oasis, sunny day real estate, hum, courtney love, hole, veruca salt, the breeders, father john misty, passion pit, LCD soundsystem, death from above 1979, ween, the smile, beck, captain beefhart, mj lenderman, waxahatcee, built to spill, allegra krieger, lauryn hill, elliot smith, sebadoh, bob dylan, joan baez, the dead, the beetles, the stones, liz phair, pavement, yo la tengo, black flag, minor threat, wilco, snow strippers, machine girl, yabujin, oklu, charli xcx, levi ryan, rebecca black, a.g cook, weezer, evanescense, water from your eyes, this is lorelai, crystal castles, fleshwater, circle jerks, ozma, norah jones, bjork. and that's just off the tip of the iceberg.

i thought i'd be pretty cool not to just be a passive observer of music, not even just a creator of music, but someone who also actively analyzes and reviews it. and frankly: i fucking loved almost famous. so, y'know, that too.
