Music Writing
I started writing analytically about contemporary pop music at the beginning of 2013, with the blog Anhedonic Headphones. Over time this led to opportunities to contribute to other websites, including Bearded Gentlemen Music, Spectrum Culture, PopMatters, and most recently, Atwood Magazine.
Anhedonic Headphones will remain online as an archive, and going forward, new pieces of music analysis and criticism will be published here.
