As of today, our blog is three years old. We’ve grown from just Dave and I writing about whatever we wanted (and probably should have accumulated more DMCA notices for) into a team of ten writers, each with different tastes and backgrounds. And even though we’ve grown in size and scope and posting frequency, there… Continue Reading

The introductions continue with something from our second new contributor… —– The first time I met Andy, I was interviewing for my job.

tym-pan-o-gram (noun)
an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum, and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Basically, it sounded like a cool name for a blog intended to be primarily about music. We’d both had other blogs previously, but over beers it was decided that more damage could be done as a joint venture. And here we are.

We share a passion for the undiscovered and under-appreciated, and hope that you’ll be able to find something you love as well.

About the Author: Dave
I like music. I can't describe how I came to like the music I do, because I don't know how or why, I just do.

Many years ago, Napoleon's brother, my great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, came to America. He was asked his name on Ellis Island while being processed as an immigrant. Not understanding English, he was under the impression that he was being asked how he had arrived in the new land. So he turned around and pointed at the sea vessel and said, 'LaBarge.'

I come by my music taste of my own free will. My friends listened to 2Pac, my parents to contemporary Christian and me? Sunny Day Real Estate. I can’t explain it.
