About Me

I’m Susan, or Susie Q to a selected few. I like music, especially people who play the tambourine. I talk about music a lot. That is why I write music reviews. I write for www.music-news.com, and had a couple articles published in NME once upon a time. If you would like me to write about your music, please tell me where i should go, or send me some tunes.I have an MA degree in geography, hence why i get a little bit excited about v-shaped valleys and demographic models. If you want to talk about geomorphological land processes or populations in Canada, give me a message, i'm always keen.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

New and promising bands and artists, and Michael Stipe the complete legend.
