Derek is Derek A. Houg, of Vancouver, BC. Derek is a 22 year old student, professional writer and a freelance blogger.
You might know Derek from one of his other personal projects, like The Colour of Television (a blog about atheism, technology and culture).
Music?
Obviously, Derek listens to a whole bunch of music. His favourite artists include Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, CAKE, Talking Heads, New Pornographers and Architecture in Helsinki.
Interests?
Apart from the actual music portion of music journalism, Derek is also interested in the intersections between music and technology – we’re talking MP3s, copyright, DRM, podcasts… All that jazz.
Derek is big on discussion and collaboration, so he welcomes all manner of comments – especially those which disagree with his sometimes vitriolic position.
In addition to commenting on the blog, you can find him at any of the following internet hangouts:
