I've felt for some time that the music I post on my personal tumblelog is often lost in the mix.
I like to share.
I spent 10 years in the music industry and I've been an avid consumer and collector of music from almost every genre and decade since I was a wee child.
What I post here may be familiar or foreign, old or new. Good music is just good music to me.
You can also find me here, for a more visual representation of my sensibilities.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Got My Eye On You
Well, where does one start with BJM?
Led by the outrageously talented [the man plays over 80 instruments], slightly mad, and notoriously Machiavellian Anton Newcombe and subject to more lineup changes than I’ve had Vegemite sandwiches, The Brian Jonestown Massacre… Well, they just rock.
You may call them [proudly] derivative and amateurish, but they’re nothing if not prolific. Neo-psychedelic rock is a fairly apt description. I’ve always wanted to see them live, if not just for the possiblity of onstage inter-band violence, for which they are well known.
If you haven’t seen the rawkumentary DiG!, which chronicles the misadventures of the then promising bands The Dandy Warhols and BJM, you’re missing out.
It’s one of the best rock documentaries, ever. Trust me.
