    Ben, where have you been? I’ve tried Animal Collective and I have to give them an enthusiastic … meh. But here’s a guy whose sound I dig.

    Hey.. glad to be missed! I’ve been busy, MBA school is kicking my ass, and writing a long novel, trying to start a rock band, blah blah blah. Anyway, I’ve been feeling inspired to write more here, so I will. I’m just feeling kind of curmudgeonly about all music lately though.

    Animal collective, I love them, especially Feels, but yeah, not for everyone. You know the black keys? Kind of who joe lewis reminds me of, but of course that 60’s/70’s dirty blues sound is pretty common.

    About Me

    Upon graduating from the Berklee College of Music, I became a partner in a little record label, that that shall remain nameless, as I am contractually bound to not disparage them or its principal owner.

    I've published articles in parade.com and Stop Smiling. I've been a pundit in the Village Voice and New York Magazine.
