I write about music. I hate the term "critic" because it implies that I know what I'm talking about. I don't. I can tell you what I like and don't like and that's about as far as it goes. Quite honestly, the writing aspect is a hell of a lot more important to me than my idiotic opinion.
Feel free to send me CDs to review. I can't guarantee I'll like everything, but I'll be honest. And if I like what you do I may just consider an interview for the New York Waste .
So send vinyl and/or CDs to:
