    ABOUT ME

    When I started this website back in 2013, my record collection was unsorted, and all these years later, I still haven’t gotten around to it. That somehow reflects the nature of these pages, which cover, in a somewhat random fashion, music genres quite different from each other. That’s just what I like. And it’s not going to change, even on the day I finally put some order into that chaos.

    This space is just intended to share some nice stories about records or music with whoever may be interested. As an avid music fan, I was fond of reading stories about music and records on blogs written by fellow music lovers, hence the idea of sharing mine.
