About Me

"He's nothing short of genuine and his words breathe life into cultures you may or may not know of. Marcus Dowling equals real talk in real time. Get familiar." - DJ Dave Nada Providing sonic intellectualism from an extremely inquisitive mind isn't just a witty catchphrase. I use sociology, crowd theory, pop psychology, and an encyclopedic knowledge of popular culture and music to create journalistic, frank, arresting, pithy and/or entertaining reflections on recorded sound. My life has been turned into a socio-cultural/music experiment which is reflected in anything I write. The network of sites that I write for includes, but is not limited to the following: True Genius Requires Insanity - TGRIOnline.com Brightest Young Things - brightestyoungthings.com The Couch Sessions - thecouchsessions.com CreamTeam.tv - creamteam.tv Art Nouveau Magazine - artnouveaumagazine.com
