Introduction	For the thinking music enthusiast. I'm making up for being born on the wrong side of the Atlantic. I own and am the Editor-in-Chief of influential UK/US/IE music website There Goes the Fear. I've covered loads of international festivals, in the North America, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. I used to write for some others (UK anti-male suicide charity CALM's magazine, UK print/online culture magazine DIY, Click Music, and the American blog PopWreckoning). I like analyzing song lyrics at a separate blog called Music in Notes. I play bass and write songs and poetry in my spare time. the 'publications' tag below is for writings I wanted to highlight from 2013 and before. more handy info is available on my website.
