MachineGunFunk.com's Blurbs |
About me:
MachineGunFunk.com is equal parts irreverent and brash... passionate and unpretentious. The eclectic voices heard on MGF focus on music through skewed and slightly cracked glasses. Our opinions are loud and our biases are even louder. The absurd is mockingly celebrated, while the status quo has to withstand the scrutiny of MGF's unique point of view. No genre is safe. No artist is immune. And, the music industry is officially on notice.
Who is MachineGunFunk.com?
 J. R. Fernandez (Midlothian, Ill.: editor-in-chief, moderator, contributor)
(9/06-present)
Jeff Fernandez is a graphic designer/freelance writer based in the greater Chicagoland area. People love him. Favorite musicians are Bauhaus, DJ Shadow, Sisters of Mercy, and Depeche Mode. He can enjoy drum 'n' bass one day and cock rock the next. An occasional reviewer, you may probably know him more so from The Saturday Swindle Sheet, a weekly editorial column chock full of music news and other ridiculous happenings within the industry.
 Mathan Erhardt (Las Vegas, Nev.: associate editor, moderator, contributor)
(9/06-present)
Mathan Erhardt's musical loves run from Ryan Adams to Pete Yorn and everything in between (and before you get all snarky with "gee, that's what broad musical taste", we're using those two artists alphabetically.) He used to love h.e.r., but he's had a longstanding relationship with rock and has been seeing indie and country on the side. He's also actively trying to solve the mystery of who actually let the dogs out.
 "Open Mike" Eagle (Inglewood, Calif.: contributor, resident emcee)
(9/06-present)
Mike Eagle is a rapper trapped in an online journalist's tax bracket. He's constantly toeing the line between being an angst-ridden, back-pack swinging underground hip-hop fan and an artist that has to remember that one day everything he wrote will re-surface and sabotage his music career. You are freely allowed to enjoy his bad choices.
Bambi Weavil (Wilmington, N.C./San Francisco, Calif.: contributor, eccentric aficionado)
(1/07-present)
Bambi Weavil is a freelance writer and poet currently living out of Wilmington, N.C. She is also Curve magazine's marketing/PR manager based out of San Francisco, Calif. Her music tastes are eccentric, from the pop culture kingdom and the indy hanging outs to the techno spins at your local techno bar. Music in her personal collection range from Lisa Marie Presley to Queen to Ani Difranco, and everything in-between. You may know her from Make Movement, in which you can find news and opinions on all things professional wrestling. You can check out her personal website at www.artsy-goddess.com.
Tom D'Errico (Orange, Mass.: contributor, review, resident metal head)
(7/07-present)
Tom D’Errico is a professional journalist/freelance writer based in the rural lands of Western Massachusetts (but a true Bostonian at heart). He's been a metal head longer than some of you have been alive, but can appreciate a wide range of music. Hell, the best concert he's ever seen was Nickel Creek. He's been reviewing albums, bands and concerts, writing features, columns and so on, for over 10 years.
"May the hands of God strike them down ..."
Aaron Coats (Chicago, Ill.: contributor)
(7/07-present)
Chicago-bred Aaron Coats is an event coordinator for a downtown children's book publisher by day and an elusive, would-be writer by midday and early evening. Though toting two University of Illinois bachelors degrees that hang at his hips like rusty, second-hand, ammoless six-shooters, he has yet to break steadfastly into the world of literature and screenwriting. Until then, he spends his time listening to, critiquing and arguing furiously for the triumph of lyricism in hip-hop and R&B music (mostly among friends and powerless officials). And sometimes, he has been known to toss a bit of wit down the slippery slope of irony into the pool of sarcasm that splashes disdain all over the people he looks down upon from above. It is doubtful that his practices will make him rich.
Ryan T. Murphy (Massena, N.Y.: contributor)
(3/08-present)
After having spent his formative years in central Florida, Ryan T. Murphy is now a denizen of Massena, a small town on the Canadian border of New York state. He has been a student of American alternative rock and the criticism thereof since he was in grade school. Somewhere along the line, he got indoctrinated into the Cult of Punk and hasn't looked back. He works in retail and spends the rest of his days in an unbroken state of chill.
 Aaron Cameron (San Diego, Calif.: editor, moderator, contributor)
(9/06-1/07)
Aaron Cameron has been writing about the absurd side of music since 2003. His musical tastes, preferences and inspiration remain stuck somewhere on a Long Beach street corner in 1993 alongside Snoop Doggy Dogg and his cavalcade of Crips. The rest of Aaron is made up of pop culture references from a decade earlier, including Autobots, Decepticons and major network prime-time television shows that featured real-live Negroes (as we were still occasionally called back then).
Daniel Kozuh (Chicago, Ill.: contributor, know-it-all)
(2/07-7/07)
Daniel Kozuh is a smug fellow who enjoys nothing more than mentally critiquing you while you mindlessly vomit music recommendations to him. He is sure your band is great, but probably can’t make it to your show at Abbey Pub next Tuesday night. He is a freelance writer, a slavelance law clerk, and an on-the-houselance filmmaker. The only reason he has to keep humping piles of filing at the law firm is because jerks like you don’t understand the brilliance of his work. Maybe if you got off your ass, looked away from Deal or No Deal for two seconds and read a book, Daniel could quit his job and make a living squinting his eyes arrogantly at people in the park.
