I’m Max, and I’m a music lover.
Hometown: Phoenix
Current Residence: Seattle
Occupation: Expeditor extraordinaire at Ivar’s Salmon House; soon-to-be law student.
Neato Facts: I love music, but can’t play a lick of it. (Does that make my critic integrity questionable? I hope not.) The first live show I attended was Raffi. Baby Beluga was the jam!
Goals for this Blog: To have fun with it! I want to not only broaden other people’s musical horizons, but also my own. Additionally, I hope to write my album reviews before reading any other reviews on the same album, so as to reduce outside influence.
