About Me

The Black Tambourine is a music blog that was created by a few music nerds as an outlet for our love of music. Covering a wide range of music topics and genres, it's a constant work in progress with one main goal: to share music with others. So stop by, check it out, and who knows, you might just discover your next favorite band.My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require. ~Edward ElgarIf I ever die of a heart attack, I hope it will be from playing my stereo too loud. ~Anonymous
