What’s my deal?
I’m just someone who is way too into alternative music for my age and I love to share what I find. I’m not trying to find the latest and greatest or next best thing but I’m not gonna lie I have pretty awesome taste ; ), but to be quite honest I just do it because this is the one constant joy (as far as hobby’s are concerned) in my life that I absolutely love and I’m extremely dedicated to.
I love my local college/public station; WXPN in Philadelphia and when I hear a song that makes my ears perk up I have to check them out. I love reading independent blogs so I decided to create my own. It has gone through many incarnations but I think I’ve found my groove. I also have another blog called TheVMoan which is all about women artists.
I also write for a few online sites on the topics of local events, music and social media. I have a national page for “Female Indie/Alt Musicians”. I cover all aspects of artists in the industry and the artists who inspire them. I’ve interviewed a few musicians for both Examiner and Yahoo, including Blitzen Trapper, Coco Rosie, La Sera, and hopefully more to come. I write for other sites as well but these are the sites that pertain mostly to things that relate to my blog and things I want to share with my readers.
If you have any questions, inquiries, suggestions, concerns, complaints, feel free to contact me: I’ll do my best to contact you. Feel free to send your music. No promises on whether I’ll post it though. Sorry.
