I'm what you'd call a music enthusiast. Not one of those obsessive people, but definitely fanatical about it. This blog began as a forum for whatever I am listening to throughout the day but I'm also trying to include full-blown CD reviews too.

About Me

shanleymusic
UPDATED - 2/10/21. I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life. It's a good town. Come and see it. Although most of my writing here covers jazz - in particular, the more avant-garde or envelope pushing type - I've played bass in indie rock bands since the mid '80s. Until recently, I was in a band called the Love Letters, who released a double 7" single. Currently I'm in the Harry Von Zells, who have only played out once so far. Beyond that, I won't list my whole musical past but I should mention my first band, Bone of Contention because I occasionally hear from people who are trying to find the song "Barbie Likes to Die" from our first album - which was just rereleased digitally. See Feb. 9 entry. After several years of freelancing for Pittsburgh City Paper, I now write for the new Pittsburgh Current, which everyone should check out online or in print. Nationally I contribute to JazzTimes magazine. I am also a member of the Jazz Journalists Association.
