Welcome to EVERYTHING SPINS
Hello, you who somehow found your way here. Everything Spins is a music review site dedicated to the musings and the music collection of one man hopelessly bound in nostalgia, still clinging on to his CDs and his ca. 2000s web design. In this site I'm slowly building a catalogue of reviews across the various albums I own in one way or another - mostly in form of physical silver discs. The reviews here are by no means anything close to objective, and they heavily reflect my own personal biases and my personal journeys with these artists and songs, ranging from contextual analyses to personal diary entries as and when it's appropriate - but hopefully still informative for those readers who may be curious about particular artists or simply wish to know why I disagree with whatever canon opinion I choose to challenge at any given time.
I do not have a set schedule for my reviews but I hope to update this regularly enough.
Thank you for taking interest!

14/09/25: It's time to start on a brand new 'long discography' project, as I take on the discography of the British anarchist pop iconoclasts Chumbawamba. We begin with the official debut album, the 30-minute anti-colonisation manifesto Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records (1986)
