Carl is one of the key writers for BW&BK and has been part of the mag's quest for world domination since 1997 because his questionable guitar skills prevented him from becoming a professional musician. So did his receding hairline. He is from Toronto but lives in Germany as BW&BK's European correspondent, and is also in the business of writing books. Carl loves Japanese and Indian cuisine, has a libido that should probably be locked up (although he'd enjoy that, too), and puts friends and family before everything else. When he's not writing Carl is either experimenting with photography, cooking, thinking about sex, playing guitar, or trying to convince people that he is in fact an adult. He despises racists, trash-talkers with no backbone, same old same old routine, music journalists who ruin it for the rest of us by putting exclusive promo material online when they fucking know better, and warm beer.
Check out BW&BK, Bravewords.com and his books. You'll be better for it. (And if that sounds arrogant, well, it's My Space... so there ;-))
