Poetry is like mining radium,
The yield is in grams, the toil is in years.
You extract for the sake of a single word
Thousands of tons of verbal ore.

—  Vladimir Mayakovsky

Admiring astonishing tunes (awesome music), as you probably figured out. Music will be (most likely) the only thing I write about. I also have access to a number of music magazines (a bunch of issues of The Source from the 90s, a bunch of Vibe issues, every The Wire issue apparently, most? NME from 2010s, Rolling Stone issues from 1967–2007, 2009–2010), as well as a bunch of music-related books (including everything listed on this page, but not limited by that). If you need to cite any of that or just need help with google-fu, holler at me.
