Michael founded musicOMH in 1999. It's still got orangey bits in amongst the black and white.
He writes for and edits the music section and looks after the behind-the-scenes bits of the site. He usually responds positively to offers of chocolate.
If you see him at a gig or a festival, he'd like you to say hello, especially if you're a very short person and can't see past him. He's quite tall, see, but not on purpose.
He is by turns amused and bemused to share his birthday with Edward the Longshanks, Ayatollah Khamenei, Angela Merkel, Animal Collective's Panda Bear... and The Hof.
