Welcome

Welcome to Thor Dream: Reviews, e-reviews of music, the arts and modern life. Let me share the story of how this all started. I’m at www.myspace.com/ranearroyo (visit me there to get a sense of who I am) and made friends who were musicians. I wrote brief reviews (for example, one for the talented Jason Reeves). Next, Blood Lotus invited me to have a music column. It was a great gig but set on a regular schedule. Many musicians liked my style of reviews—writing about their music and the memories their music evoked in me, a creative non-fiction prose—and I wanted to talk with them, maybe interview them. Hence Thor Dream: Reviews. I can post whenever I discover some exciting musician, band, poet, architect etc. I’ll explain the title in a future posting. I will be accepting proposals for reviews once you get a sense of what I do. Ready, set and go go. Feel free to post comments, suggest titles for the musicians, send a photo or drawing (your creation). Let's not be too traditional. Music often shows us what the rules are that we must break or honor. P.S. I plan on reviewing new AND old music, discoveries and rediscoveries.
