About

In 2001, I co-founded Brassland, a record label that documents the work of a growing community of musicians, including The National and Nico Muhly. (They are the most famous ones.) I still run Brassland, though to that I’ve added consulting work for the UK-based music company All Tomorrow’s Parties and general manager duties at Cantaloupe Music. Most recently, I’ve taken on a managerial role with my favorite new band Dirty Projectors, and a seat on the board of directors of the music & education non-profit called the Manhattan New Music Project.

I used to write for frequently for print publications (LA Weekly, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times). Nowadays, I don’t do that as much because I have this here site, which is devoted to my internet ramblings.

I’ve done other things some of which you can find out about at a more official archival type site.

I live in Brooklyn, NY and on the internet and try to spend a lot of time away from both.

I’m always open to suggestion.
