About Us
Spinning Platters is a community of Bay Area music nerds. It was started by a few of us who make an annual trek down to SXSW together. We’ve got a Broken Social Scene approach to this, as we’d like to get all of the Bay Area music lovers we know involved in some way. Some of us will be on the site all the time, and others will be like Feist, and make random guest appearances.
If you are a Bay Area music nerd yourself, and you have something you’d like to contribute, please visit the Contact Us page and let us know! We’re glad to accept contributions from anyone local.
For comments or feedback on the website or its content, please email Gordon Elgart.
If you’re in the music industry and would like us to do a 10 Quick Questions, please email Dakin Hardwick.
If you’re an artist, in a band, or a label, and you want coverage for your band in the form of an album or show review, you can email your favorite writer on this list. If you don’t have one of those, email our promo team.
If you’d like to be a guest on the Spinning Platters podcast, email our producer David Price.

Disclosure statement: Though we’re never paid for any reviews, and currently run no advertising, we’re often given copies of albums to review or given free tickets to the shows we cover. Other times, we pay for these things ourselves. We often mention this within the posts themselves, but other times we don’t. If you have a question about a specific review, please contact gordon@spinningplatters.com, and we’ll be glad to provide the specifics.
