 I know a lot about alternative music. Most common questions I get are lyric identidication, or song to band recognition. Usually that's very easy for me. So if you are trying to figure out a song or band, ask away I will do my best. I usually know.

 I can answer quite literally any question regarding the band Joy Division. I know everything about them in minute detail from their early incarnation as Stiff Kittens right up until their untimely end. I have considerable knowledge as to where and when they formed, gigged and recorded. I have also researched what kind of equipment they used and the techniques of their maverick producer Martin Hannett.

 All types of questions welcome. Before asking a question, try searching the word "lyrics," along with any lyrics you remember (within quote marks if you are sure of their accuracy), at www.Google.com. Most answers are quickly found this way. You should also try www.allmusic.com. You can also search by song title at amazon.com and www.spun.com.

 I know a lot about New Zealand's Flying Nun label/Dunedin Sound which pioneered lo fi and inspired a lot of alternative/indie music, for example Pavement, Sebadoh, Shins, Interpol. I also know a fair bit of general information about the proto-punk/punk/new wave/post-punk/alternative/indie movement from the 60s to the present. Love to rant about the Velvet Underground and how awesome/influential they were, although my favourite band is actually the Kinks.
