Welcome

Back in 2011, I started the blog First Kiss Lips. I’ve always said that hearing a really great song is akin to the feeling you get when you first kiss someone you really fancy. And doing that got my writing career going. People offered to post things I’d written on their sites and soon I was writing for The Quietus. What an awesome 10+ years it’s been, meeting and talking to and writing about lots of great artists whose work has meant a lot to me.

I love sharing music recommendations, and books, films, comics, art, and comedy ones too. Hopefully you might dig some of these.

You can also read my writing mostly at The Quietus and The Comics Journal these days

And everything - music, writing, comedy - is gathered here
