Hi. I’m Adrian.

You can contact me. Tell me about concerts or bands or whatever.

My email is this:

picker @/ [at] ipickmynose . / [dot] com

Just mash that all together. You can figure that out, right?

[For technical problems with the site, please direct them to tech@. That helps me keep track of things better.]

for bands:
I love getting CDs but you shouldn’t waste your money if I’m not going to like it. The best thing to do is to email me a place where I can listen to your tunes online or attach one mp3. If a CD is available, tell me in the email and I’ll hit you back with my address if I like your stuff.

for readers:
Got a favorite band that you think I’ll like? Know of a great concert coming up? Got a beef with something I said? Hit me up.

for publicists/ labels:
I’d appreciate you asking me before you add me to your mailing list. It’s just a courtesy that I’d appreciate.

I tend to like the following sorts of music. If your label/ roster deals with styles outside them, there’s a reasonably likelihood that they won’t be of interest to me:

• indie rock (not dancey)
• indie pop
• acousticy indie folk/ alt-country sort of stuff
• post rock
• soul/ early r&b sound
• oldies/ girl group sounds
• old-timey/ field recordings
• world (African, Celtic and Indian being my primary interests there)

If you tend to send me stuff I like, I’ll be more likely to read your emails. If you tend to send me stuff I don’t like, there’s a higher likelihood that I give other things a priority.

A few notes for everyone:

1. Just be honest. I like being flattered, of course, but it’s not always difficult to tell if someone just found my site and then he emails me saying he’s a loyal reader. There’s no reason to lie, you know? Another common lie: “I just heard about this great band” when, in fact, you are in the band.
2. Responses: I do love getting emails and mail, especially personal (e)mails from readers and bands. For the most part, I listen to everything I get even if it takes a while. I try to respond to personal emails but sometimes with the volume of email I’ve been getting I am not able to always do that. I do appreciate you writing in though.

A personal note from you will be much more likely to get a personal note in return.

Thanks for reading this far.
