Mike Bennett Bio

Mike Bennett spent his formative years listening
to AM top 40 radio in the 70's which cultivated
his love for the hook in many forms. His music
fanaticism became a permanent condition after
his years as a DJ/Program Director-type in high
school and college radio. After spending four
post-college years in the low paying world of
retail music, he changed careers and is now a
low paid appellate public defense attorney.

Confining his vices to eating too much junk food
and buying CDs, Mike has recently ventured into
the world of music criticism. Mike made his review
debut on the Pop Palace website (check out the
links section) where he is currently a staff writer.
Powerpop and punk rock are Mike's main musical
loves, but he also wraps his ears around traditional
and alt-country, garage rock, old school rap, 60's
and 70's R & B, and various post-punk and
alternative noise. Favorite artists include XTC,
Cheap Trick, Sweet, Sparks, Didjits, Buzzcocks,
The Fall, The Kinks and the Swingin' Neckbreakers.
