About Nikki Phipps
Let this be a half-hearted attempt to talk about myself as I always find it uncomfortable to do so. What is it that most people say? I guess I'll stick to the basics:
I live in the beyond beautiful paradise that is Victoria, BC, where I do my best to take in the sights and sounds of any music I can get my hands on.

Finally, and above most things, I am in love with rock and roll, and music in general, really. I'd like to devour it, wear it like a cape, sleep with it and call it the next day, have breakfast with it, profess my undying love to it, and enjoy it to its very last electron, which is what this blog is meant to allow me to do.
