It's been said that rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. That's probably the reason why it's so much fun! If you can't write, read or especially if you can't talk, feel free to add me. You might also want to check out the best webzine in the whole wide world: www.myspace.com/noisefi
