SCRIBBLINGS

The following links are to CD reviews I wrote while working as Assistant Editor for Microsoft's Music Central website during the years 1996-97,
as well as reviews I wrote for Seattle music 'zine Backfire (1999-2001), and a Rhode Island arts/nightlife magazine called Titan (2001-2).
None of these publications are currently active. What it something that I said?
