Chris DeSalvo

Chris De Salvo hovers just below six feet tall. He's fairly certain Frank Zappa was overrated, Guided By Voices never got their due, and Alaska should be considered neither a state, nor a Province. Since attending the University of Iowa, and managing to convince the school to grant him a B.A. in English (with a Minor in Journalism), Chris has perpetually underachieved in much the same way as a slew of relatively intelligent twenty-somethings with too little ambition to match their omnipresent wittiness, or natural pluck have.

There is a considerable amount of information De Salvo has attained throughout his impressive pursuit of mediocrity, and much of it has assisted him in his journey to successfully cross-examine the phenomenon of popular culture. He wonders why art-rock is so respected, and why nobody dances at concerts anymore. It's difficult to justifiably assert why either issue matters in the grand scheme of things, but De Salvo doesn't care--These are topics he deems worthy of run-on-sentence-laden dissertations (of the journalistic variety), or full blown (beer-fueled) conversation.

If you have any questions regarding DeSalvo's credibility as a writer, dial him up at Consequence of Sound, or check out the following websites:
