J. Edward Keyes has been writing about music for nearly 15 years, a fact he occasionally finds terrifying. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly and the late, great MAGNET, as well as the 2006 edition of Da Capoâs Best Music Writing series. His favorite record of all-time is 16 Lovers Lane by the Go-Betweens.
