Optimistic Underground exists to shine a spotlight on good music, drawing attention to the artists and sounds I find most intriguing, addicting, and essential. I believe truly interesting music has the right to listeners and thus Optimistic Underground will be an outlet for anything worthy of attention and deserving of support. I will not ‘review’ albums or waste anyone’s time discussing sub-par sounds. Thus, there is no rating system: consider anything written about on Optimistic Underground as personally endorsed by yours truly.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for listening.
And thank the artists for giving us all of their genius + love.

Hello I couldnt find out how to contact you so I am leaving this comment. I love your blog! I run a website called sickoftheradio.com and we are looking for contributors. I was wondering if you would want to do a couple posts a week for our site. I know you have your own blog already and this is probably a stupid question, but I had to ask. I would make sure to link to your blog from the posts you might submit to our site and spread the word about “Optimistic Underground.”
Thanks
Andy
