Welcome to Don’t Smoke in Bed, a blog started with two simple things in mind: a love of music and a burning desire to write about it. Too much is written about music from a need to fill pages, placate record companies and “keep up” with what everybody else is listening to. There’s not enough of a genuine passion (or loathing) for whichever artist is being written about. I stand as someone who has been guilty of this charge in the past, and this is my penance as well as my opportunity. For too long I have wallowed in the realm of musical mediocrity just to get my name in print or on screen, without allowing my craft to develop in a direction free from restraint. So to hell with popular reassurance, Don’t Smoke in Bed is about speaking the truth because it must be said; and having fun in the meantime.
