THE SONIC ABYSS

To All,

I can’t imagine life without music, and this site exists solely to pay tribute to the unsung bands who have written (and some of whom continue to write) the soundtrack to my life.  I’ve never considered myself a critic and still don’t.  To quote Peter Gabriel, “I know what I like and I like what I know.”

I can’t think of a better way to say “Thank you” to these bands than to rave about them like the obsessed fan that I am.  After all, they already have my money!  hahahahahahaha

I hope you all enjoy my syntactical rants, and I hope you’ll take the time to explore at least some of this music for yourself.  And I hope you love it as much as I do.

Cheers,

Mark Boyd

P.S.  The name you see on the blog, “Moosejuice,” refers to my on-air name when I was working in radio back in the 90’s for a classic-rock-turned-alternative/modern rock station in Baton Rouge, LA called 100.7 The Tiger (WTGE-FM).  I have a lot of fond (and not-so-fond) memories of this time and was exposed to some of the music in the Sonic Abyss during my radio days.  Crazy part of it is that I couldn’t really appreciate a lot of this music until I stopped working in radio.   You see, when you work for a radio station your job is to promote music, so you’re constantly innundated with new music on a daily basis…too much to really keep up with properly.  For this reason, I often say that the best thing that ever happened to me as a FAN of good music is that I got out of the radio business.
