Details

A bit of a turncoat to the second power, Simon entered the music world as a San Francisco punk in the late seventies before moving on to new wave and music/art/fashion writing and publishing in the eighties. Along the way he played a Strat, fingered a Moog and met a lot of prominent musicians. In the very early days of Al Gore’s Internet he was an executive in a digital rights management company and developed encryption technologies so you couldn’t steal music and video. Having recently left the world of high fashion he is back to writing about electronica, trance and Euro pop… and downloading music.
