www.caughtinthecarousel.com I mean, come on. Music, books, movies, tennis and food. Usually all at once. And typically when I'm driving. I'm also interested in sharks but no one really wants to have that conversation, do they?Music

About me:
I'm the Editor of www.caughtinthecarousel.com, a monthly on-line music magazine. We've done features/interviews with Solomon Burke, The Jazz Butcher, Matthew Ryan, Dean and Britta and film director Tom DiCillo (Delirious, Box of Moonlight). We offer free downloads, new album reviews and a regular feature called "CITC's Consummate Top Ten," where artists are assigned a monthly theme (we've done everything from Top Ten Songs No One Knew I Liked Until Now to Top Ten Songs To Play Really Loud After Someone Has Broken Up With You And You're Standing Really Close To Something Sharp Or On Fire). Past Particpants: Justin Currie (Del Amitri), Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket), Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate), Rocco DeLuca, Abra Moore, Magic Bullets and The Real Tuesday Weld. We've got a staff of twenty brilliant writers, an incredible Web designer, a formidable Editor-At-Large in New York and Cyprus and a handsome office which comes replete with a view of an as-yet unidentified body of water, a street magician with rabies and an upscale boutique owned by an ex-Supermodel who keeps asking to borrow sugar. And yes, we enjoy that. As for me... Editor and College Professor, yes, but on weekends I've been known to juggle knives, watch reruns of "Silver Spoons" in Spanish and only listen to songs that have the word "rain" in the title. My book on The Stone Roses (conveniently titled "The Stone Roses") has just been published as part of Continuum Publishing's ongoing 33 1/3 series on seminal albums. The reviews have been very kind and the letters I've received have been very touching. My new novel is complete and is a Young Adult title about warring high school comedians. It's called FUNNYMAN AND THE HIGH SCHOOL COMEDY WARS. More news on that as it comes in... As for the rumors, they're all true: I've written over ten poems about sharks, I hit a mean topspin forehand (well, mean for someone who's 5'7"), my favorite superhero is The Spirit, I love J.D. Salinger, I have a cat who only listens to The Smiths and Leonard Cohen, I write song lyrics with Robb Benson of the Dept. of Energy and I love Toni Collette, even though she never calls back... Write, call, email. Send cookies. We're always hungry. Love and Rockets, Alex Green Editor www.caughtinthecarousel.com ..
Who I'd like to meet:

10 of 152MoreHi Alex Green (Editor, www.caughtinthecarousel.com)
Just stopping by to say hello and give you some news. The award winning album 'Coolgilly and the Freakshow' from Centascope is available worldwide from CD Baby and directly from the merchandise page of the official website.
You can also get the album from Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon.co.uk and many more.
Hi Alex,
Hope you are well. I've been keeping myself updated with 'Caught Up In The Carousel' news! I'm busy recording the third Armstrong album and will post you some new songs shortly. I have just uploaded a new song called 'December Day' which is somewhere in between 'Back to the Old House' by The Smiths and 'Christian' by China Crisis. (It is a rough mix incase you wished to have a listen).
Thanks and Speak with you soon
Julian, Armstrong
ps - I'm playing at the IPO Festival in Liverpool's Cavern Club next month!!
Rossita Dove, iDolphin from The Ice Hotel in Canada wishes you a creative rest of the winter and a blissful St-Valentines!
Girl, boy, studio, new record, smile, playful heart + sexy bed in arty apartment - everything I ever wanted for my 2010!
Forgot something?
With love/Sol Skugga
little Murders play their last gig for 2009 at IDGAFF this Saturday 5th December and we're giving away free vinyl singles .. (support from Pretty Green and Jonestown). Pretty Green will be selling their brand new EP hot off the press!
Hey!
Please tell me if the records have arrived? I've had things stuck on the border a couple of time recently...
Love/Sol
