"Are You Ready to Get Comfortably Numb?"
I am a staff writer for the Pink Floyd web-zine Spare Bricks. I contribute a column per issue - "Gilmour, Guitars & Gear," a look at Pink Floyd, and particularly guitarist David Gilmour's, equipment and techniques from a musician's point of view. I initially wrote a column called "The Camera Eye," which featured reviews of rare Pink Floyd related videos. "The Camera Eye" was placed in the "Reviews" section of each edition of Spare Bricks. The webzine is posted every three months.

The following is a list of published reviews of The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia:
In 2004 I was selected to write an article about Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour as a solo artist. YouthQuake is an online webzine.
I contributed to the Summer 1999 (Issue #23) edition of REG - the International Roger Waters Fan Club Newsletter. I transcribed Roger Waters' 30 minute interview concerning ticket scalping on the Mancow morning radio program based in Chicago. This was aired on WKQX on June 25, 1999. The transcription takes up pages 9-17 and appears here on the Reg website.
