My name is B Michael Payne. I do all sorts of stuff, most of which I think is awesome. I’m a writer-contributor for Capital NY, Pitchfork, AlterNet, and, you know, other various places that shall have me. For almost two years I was a weekly columnist at Fuse, before their big recent redesign and until my editor left for other, equally green pastures. You can find an archive of most of my writing over at the Writing page of my main website.

I don’t just write. I also take pictures, doodle, chat with people, do wonky online stuff like “content creation” and “web marketing and analytics”, and read a lot of books.

Check out my (about one year out of date) favorite 100 albums of all-time to get a sense of who I really am in a deeply moral and personal way. (J/k.) (Sort of not j/k.) (J/k though.) (Sort of.) Also, I don’t know, google me and see what comes up. Who knows!
