About The Eclectic
No one pays to be featured on this blog. This is a collection of music I’m actively listening to or topics I feel like talking about. To say everything I want to, I exceed the text limits issued by the corporate overloads at Instagram (Meta). That’s the main reason of starting this website.
You may recommend music to me. There is no guarantee I will listen to it. This doesn’t mean I don’t like it, I just might be busy with other things and get around to it later. Don’t be annoying and follow up with me as to whether or not I listened or if I’m going to write about it. There’s no method to madness or listening habits. There’s plenty of sites you can pay to review your band.
