Bio:
I'm the Digital Content Editor of the Chicago Reader. Before that, I held down a series of odd jobs while freelancing for places like Village Voice, LA Weekly, Pitchfork, Huffington Post, Resident Advisor, and Blender; I was also a staff writer at Stylus, one of the best music magazines ever created. My writing at the Reader reflects more of what I don't like than what I do: people's relationships to Apple products, Wiener's Circle, Django Unchained, and contemporary notions of working. I do seem to like the 70s a lot though, particularly pre-1980s Bob Seger and Pink Floyd album covers.
