Hello My name is. Among its numerous functions, will house my writings on music that, as far as I'm concerned, stray too close to standard "Rock crit": which, I should add, I do not discredit - I just don't want to do. So, then, in customary Rock-journalism mode, I will list a few records that at some point in 2008 caught my attention, and which also were published this year (in no particular order):. 1 The Howling Hex -. 2 The Fall -.
