It's taken three years but I've finally gained power round these parts. Tremble in front of the might of the Assistant Editor. Generally focussed more on the indie side of affairs but for any of you PRs out there, note that I'm likely to go critically easier on quirky female singer-songwriters. But hey, we all have our weaknesses.
