I'm always looking for more contributors, so please m/contact.php">get in touch if you are up to throw down. And I'm not just talking Bear Quartet posts either - I need more writers in general. I'm not expecting people with journalism degrees, anyone with a healthy interest in new music and decent English language skills is encouraged to apply. Simply submit a sample review and a short list of some current favorites. That's all there is to it.

BrooklynVegan readers may want to note that the b-side "Into the night" features Britta Persson and can be downloaded in the mp3 playlist area on the right (click the expand-bar at the bottom to find the link).
