"Kick em when they're up, kick em when they're down"

    Journalism is my profession. Music is my passion. I cover music for several major music publications. I also review records for TV, radio, and various websites. I've even been known to drop gossip now and then.

    I see things with quite a critical eye. I love the fresh new music I hear first on the MP3 Jackpot.
