Bio
Music + personal insight.
This is just my humble online space for essaying on all manner of things relating to music. 13 years after writing my first gig review, no matter how hard I try, I can't get out of the habit of writing about music - words invade me whenever my ears are enlivened. Also, I like to document things and keep track of what I've been attending or giving headspace to.
Mixture of Public, Friends Only and Private entries here. You can add me as a friend if you have a journal and want all my entries to appear on your Friends page. If you do not have a Livejournal, you can still read my blogs as they are largely viewable to the public.
Do you make music or create fanzines or something similar that I might like to review? You can contact me at:
fcollreviews@gmail.com
Please contact me before quoting my reviews, thanks.
