About Mark Nenadic
Quite likes music. Doesn't really like people. From The North. Exiled in The Midlands due to radical views on whippets/flat caps.Beards and plaid shirts belong on Willie Nelson. Everybody else should smarten up a bit ..
Album Reviews

Rebecca Pronsky “Witness – Hillary’s Song Cycle” (Independent, 2017)

November 28, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
A mini album dedicated to Hillary Clinton’s ‘defeat’ in the 2016 US Presidential Election and her (imagined) personal aftermath. Let’s not dwell on the name of her opponent, shall we? As is fitting for such a […]
Album Reviews

Russell And the Wolf Choir “Every Spark Is An Indication” (Independent, 2017)

November 17, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
A mini-LP with something of a Californian West Coast vibe, yet delivered from the wilds of Essex. On vinyl too! Russell and The Wolf Choir actually nail a power pop/indie sound pretty well in the first part of […]
Album Reviews

Grant Earl Lavalley “From Lavalley Below” (Exit Stencil, 2017)

November 9, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
Having a vinyl LP to review is a great treat, but such subjective fascinations won’t cloud any impartiality hereabouts. Much. Grant Earl Lavelly as a musical whole, pretty much sums up ‘brooding Americana’. An Ohio native, now […]
Album Reviews

Joseph Childress “Joseph Childress” (Empty Cellar 2017)

September 29, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
Another record born from an authentic American experience – this time Childress’s time in the Old West, including cattle ranching in Wyoming. Nobody seems to write songs in their dingy flat anymore (apart from the handful […]
Album Reviews

Woodley Taylor ‘Breathe A Little Deeper’ (2017, Independent)

September 28, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
Woodley Taylor’s bio namechecks many of the classic rock acts that echo through this, his debut album. Perhaps Cambridge is a strange location from which one might develop to pay homage to 1970s Los Angeles, but […]

Stamping on the passion: Why AI written PR is a bad thing for music

September 21, 2026 2
If a music writer opens ten press releases this month, they’ll spot something odd. They all sound like the same person wrote them. Not because the artists share a publicist, or because there’s a house style […]

For the Sake of the Song: Grateful Dead “High Time”

September 21, 2026 0
“You told me goodbye, how was I to know/You didn’t mean goodbye, you meant please don’t let me go?” Well. It’s the age of nostalgia, so it feels just about right to reminisce about an old […]
