MUSIC WRITING
GrooveLily CD Review
Some good friends of mine released a CD in 2003 that kicks butt. If you don't know about them and like intelligent pop music, check 'em out and check out their web site.
Jazz Reviews
A couple of brief stints as a reviewer under the pseudonym "Aubrey Dannault"

A web site I maintain devoted to the proposition that commercial/professional music is stuck in rigid concepts of style, genre and format, and needs to be broken out of arbitrary categories in order for music as an art form to flourish properly.
MISCELLANEOUS
