Sleeve
Notes
Music essays, album reviews and reports from the gigs I go to. No posting treadmill—just pieces that I need to write, and that hopefully you’ll enjoy reading.
The writing desk
Three shelves. One music life.
Album Reviews
Records old and new, approached as things to live with rather than content to score out of ten.
First piece coming soonMusic Essays
Longer pieces about music, songwriting, pop culture, technology, and the way we live now.
First piece coming soonWhy it’s here
A permanent home for the writing.
I used to write about music often: albums, gigs, the strange emotional life of being a fan, and the way songs attach themselves to periods of your life. Sleeve Notes gives that writing a home inside CJ Song Factory.
Articles will live here as proper individual pages, easy to find and easy to keep. When the first one is ready, it will take the top slot—like a new arrival in the record shop window.
