Jon is a political science student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He loves hip-hop, is a libertarian, enjoys learning about religion, yet won’t submit himself to any ‘god’. He will, however, teach you the finer points of smoking, stay for tequila (Patrón please), and vibe to a good beat. A writer on Newsvine since January ‘06, he has expanded his writing to the school paper and wonderful (*cough*) university essays.

Brandon Kiser is a high school student who plans to go to college and major in either, history, teaching, or journalism. His music interests are more mainstream and more likely to be heard on the radio, but the sheer expanse of the genres he is interested in makes up for it. Just as fascinated with music news as he is with music, news is his niche on Listen In.
He resides in a rural Kentucky town, so he must chew ‘bacco, hunt from sun up to sun down, milk his own cow for his morning cereal and play fiddle when the sun sets, but don’t tell anyone. Writing is still his passion.
“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”

When I had to fill in the immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genius; I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.
