I write a music blog called Needle on Vinyl. Created to stimulate musical exploration and experimentation, the blog is a place for modern hit songs to bump shoulders with classic and deserving gems stuck in obscurity, and for any song to enjoy fair play and careful consideration. I approach music here with the trained ear of a lifelong fan, and the discriminating sensibility of a serious pop culture critic.

I’m hoping to share some cool Spotify playlists exploring particular genres and themes, analyze individual songs and Youtube videos that strike my fancy, produce podcasts and essays exploring the endless delights and mysteries that the music world has to offer, and perhaps try my hand at some DJ-ing or video and music production myself.

Enjoy!
