About Me

My photo
Joe Ehrbar
I've written lots of words (some of them good even) on the subject of music for more than a decade. Among the esteemed publications to feature my byline are The Spokesman-Review, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Matte, Backfire, Revolver and The Rocket--where I was Managing Editor and Editor from 1998-2000. I don't write as much or as often as I should, so don't come knocking for new content every day. But stop by periodically for some new, original writings and a whole host of mildewy works from my archives. Please note: This blog is kind of my digital playground, a place to test out ideas, explore random thoughts, or invent dumb, fictional (and sometimes funny) stories about real musicians or recordings. In other words, don't take what you read here too seriously.
