About Me

Hi, I'm Jeff Campbell, a former DJ, music journalist, musician, and music lover. I'm old enough to have seen all the cool bands and young enough to still remember them. The Ramones? Twice. Black Flag? Sure. Metallica (with Cliff?) - Certainly. Coachella? At least 5 times. And even Neil Diamond in the 70's. I've also played onstage with The B-52's! I've seen it all, heard all the stories, and I'm tellin' it like it is here; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
