Greetings, salutations, g'day and hajime mashite from Andrez Bergen, an expat Aussie formerly from Melbourne, but based in Tokyo, Japan these past 8 years.
I'm a sometime journalist over here, writing about everything from electronic and experimental music to cultural oddities, food, movies and anime, for American mags Geek Monthly and Anime Insider, plus Impact in the UK and Vice in Australia.
I also helm long-running label, IF? Records (it's now an unwieldy teenager). In my spare time I hack together tunes myself under about two dozen silly aliases, like Little Nobody, DJ Fodder, Funk Gadget, Schlock Tactile, Conversational Dentures and Dick Drone.
This here's a crap old stoner pic of me from the days when I had dreads about 15 years ago, and plopped a somewhat pretentious grimace (and a cigarette) on my face, just to try to look très cool, without decent effect. I often use it for publicity just to annoy people and give 'em wrong impressions.
Anyway, I'm also a HUGE fan of the Fun in the Murky site, and everything Trev has set out to do here, so I'm rather chuffed to be given the opportunity to insert my own 2 cents' worth on a haphazard basis, mostly on muzak, but occasionally on other asides.
Stay tuned, if you're vaguely inspired!
