As the host of this growing music community, we are fans of all of the people that make music such a huge part of our lives at every step of the journey. MusicHawk unites all lovers of music, whether they thrive on the notes themselves, or the business behind the notes. It crosses the divide between art, demographics, and commerce, throwing the bespectacled college rock snob into the same stew as the suburban hip-hopper. Amateur garage bands and the latest of iTunes’ corporate darlings sit side by side as equal artists on MusicHawk. The MusicHawk community rests on the feeling we all get when we toss the dollar bill into the open guitar case, or tear the shrinkwrap on a new cd in the parking lot of the record store, or watch the download bar work its mysterious delivery-magic as new music hits our hard drives. The collective power and love of music might just be the last thing that will keep us all together.

The MusicHawk staff is a diverse set of personas who crave new sounds and grooves. If you've got a recommendation on some spiffylicious tunes, befriend us on MusicHawk and let us know what we are missing. What's that? Not signed up yet? Well get crackin' and click this button:

Who runs this thing anyway?	What are they listening to?
Jeff (aka Buddy) King why am i a music fan you might ask? did you know that some bands that are "trying to make it" play 300 nights a year? i see these bands pull up in their rusty white vans, unload their stuff, setup the gear, get on stage and blow people away, talk to fans, tear down the gear, load the truck again and drive off to IHOP. it's a mix of guts and a doggedness that i admire. they are SUPER-ENTREPENEURS. you should see jason go with his chinese finger puzzles it's amazing. lulu stop chewing the extension cord!

Bubba Hawk I dig chinese finger puzzles, origami at midnight, and photos of horses or seashells, whichever ones are bigger. Don't check out any of my bands, you might find yourself locked in a trance of existential quandry, attempting to feebly determine which one should be added to your band list (trick question: ALL of them). And being locked in anything, well, that's a bad thing in case you don't know it. Unless it's a giant vat of goober grape peanut butter. And then it is merely comical. I like music of all kinds - progressive rock (e.g. Marillion), 80s butt rock (Dokken), Ska (Aquabats), atmostpheric (Blue Nile, Eno), etc. Don't put me a box!
