Between The Ditches: The Music Blog of Tom Speed

Although it is well established that I'm a very bad blogger, here we go again. With the demise of the print version of Honest Tune Magazine, I've been working on putting my brain more to music than to numbers and other worries. That is to say, I've been trying to actually listen to more music and write about it.

To that end, I'm still writing my column over at Jambase, The Rockin Chair. I'm also writing a music column for the local subversive alternative paper, The Local Voice. That one is called The Speed of Sound.

The remaining subscriptions of Honest Tune were taken over by Hittin The Note Magazine
It's a fine publication, and I've been writing some for them too. I did a feature on Outformation in the latest issue, and will have one on Widespread Panic in the next one.



I'm also trying to get my words in some other publications.

Here I'll write about all the stuff that falls between the cracks, the music that moves me and turns my ear or my heart. That's usually the stuff that is not easily definable. The music that is made without regard for genre. It's not jazz or rock or blues, it's the stuff in the middle, the stuff between the ditches.

I'll also try to drag myself into the 21st Century by utilizing videos and mp3s and other forms of black magic.

You are welcome to come along on the journey with me. No ticket required.
