About Me
I'm Ross Jordan Gianfortune. I am not a writer, but I sometimes write here about music and my life. I live in Washington, DC.
I used to review each of Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 albums of all time. Now I'm writing about albums I own.
My work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Gazette, The Atlantic, Sno-Cone and a bunch of defunct zines.
You can contact me at rjgianfortune at gmail dot com.
Shameless!
