The Days of Lore

About/Contact TDoL

The Days of Lore is an independent music blog headquartered in Portland, Oregon that started out as a weekly column in 2005. Inside these digital pages you’ll find interviews, reviews, mp3s and features on artists from all over the globe—from twee-pop to black metal. And always be on the lookout for giveaways, TDoL’s semi-irregular metal feature Black Friday, as well as The Days of Lore Presents shows.

Who’s in charge? I guess I am. I’m a former music editor at a California weekly who jumped the sinking ship of print journalism and hopped aboard the sleeker, sexier U-boat of blogging. I still write for said weekly, in addition to SPIN, Paste and the Portland Mercury. I sometimes play music, most recently with this two-piece; in a former life I played with these derelicts.

If there’s a band or an artist you think I should hear, or if you want to send thoughts/gripes/love-letters/Haiku contact me at mark@thedaysoflore.com. Let’s become imaginary friends and I’ll buy you an imaginary drink.
