The purpose of this blog is to share my love of music with anyone and everyone I can. I work with record companies and PR, receiving review materials through a variety of avenues and proceed to publish my reviews elsewhere first. In that respect, I’ll also be promoting some new artists that you may not have heard before.
I am a professional freelance writer and my musical tastes know no boundaries. I attempt to review each and every individual piece of work based on its own merits, but sometimes comparisons are made to ease the process of clarity.
I write and am published at Blogcritics primarily, but I have also been published elsewhere. I write film reviews here. Full lists of published reviews and featured excerpts are available upon request.
I try to support a distinctly Canadian perspective with my reviews, but sometimes in my haste I merely transfer published reviews directly to this site. Being that most of my reviews are published in the United States or elsewhere, you may notice a lack of proper Canadian spelling on some posts. Please feel free to bring this to my attention.
If you wish to send me MP3s or review materials, please feel free to contact me with a comment on this blog or with an email. I do not respond to personal attacks or otherwise irrelevant commentary and I do promptly cut derogatory comments. In any case, I always enjoy constructive criticism and I will make errors from time to time. Please do not feel discouraged from commenting in general.
Thanks for stopping by and keep on rocking in the free world!
Hi Jordan – I’ve enjoyed your reviews, and I’d like to send you a copy of my new CD THE POETRY OF GROOVE. My 4th CD, it’s playful poetic spoken word and rap, soulful choruses, jazzy hiphop grooves. I hear there’s an article on it in BC Musician (trying to get a copy) and it just got added to CIUT out of Toronto, along with a number of other U.S. stations. Can send you links to EPK, tracks too. (Don’t want to overrun your comments section here.) And there’s a new music video up on You Tube of the title track. Thanks! — Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein)

I’m liking many of the reviews I’m reading from your blog so far. Who knew that a negative review of BoA would lead me to this small gem of a blog!

Mr. Richardson:
Nice job with “Music Review: Johnny Mathis – Those Were the Days/Love Theme from “Romeo and Juliet.”
