About Me

I am Mof.
It's about time I updated this as it's been the same for ages. I like playing records. Yes - records. Not CDs or MP3s. Actual records that play at 33rpm and 45rpm. I still believe that music will regain its ability to drag itself out of the doldrums and start blitzing ears. I'm a writer by trade. I write about music mostly. I'll put a list of sites I write for at the bottom of here if you're interested.
I like lots of music. I like to play out lots of records when I DJ. Everything in between and including obscure 60's & 70's records. Psych, Northern Soul, Garage Punk, Funk, Electronics, Freakbeat, Reggae, Folk, Country, HipHop, Prog, Kraut, Tropicalia, French 60s pop, Motown, Beat, Mod, Punk, Latin... I do a podcast with all these things on which you can hear on my profile below.
Also, do me a favour... don't leave comments that are chatty. That's what the 'send message' function is for... let's use a bit of common sense eh?
