Born in the year of the sale of the first Apple Macintosh, Michael Jackson’s scalp setting on fire, the longest Major League Baseball game in history, and both the summer and winter Olympics, Taylor Long was surely destined for excellence from birth. She wanted to be many things when she was younger: a chef, a gymnast, an architect. But as an inhabitant of the sleepy, cloudy town of Seattle, her love of music grew out of its independent music scene, even just six years after Nirvana had put it on the map. Her need for sprawling urban communities and diversity could not be met by such a small city, so she absconded to Long Island, New York, where she studied Print Journalism and Music from Pulitzer Prize winning professors and the co-inventor of the Moog synthesizer. Itching for a taste of the real New York City, she permanently moved to Brooklyn, where she currently and happily resides (it’s secretly much better than Manhattan, but don’t tell anyone). When she’s not critiquing music, she’s probably critiquing movies and books, laying in parks, exploring new streets, yelling at Seattle sports teams, taking pictures of garbage, eating spicy food, drinking hefeweizen and/or dreaming of her next travel destination.
