Associate Editor/Writer
Ryan writes and edits music reviews. He is an Associate Editor for both Consequence of Sound and PopMatters, also contributing features and reviews to Billboard, Paste, American Songwriter, Boston Phoenix, Relix, Metro Pulse, LEO Weekly, Chicago Reader, Glide, Cleveland Scene, American Noise, and tons of others.
He loves writing, music, writing about music, playing music, writing music, and pretty much any other combination of those words.
One of these days, he'll actually finish writing a screenplay. And recording an album. And knitting a sweater...
You can e-mail him (rreed6128{at}hotmail.com) if that kinda thing interests you.
