About Us
Hullabaloo is a blog for music and writing. And sometimes music writing.
We think that writing about music ought to reflect the same wildness, tenderness, and creative vulnerability as the music itself, and that’s what we try to do.
A friend once described Hullabaloo as “interpretive dance for music writing” which I love very much. We post music alongside poetry, prose, essays, and visual arts, and we always aim to surprise.
We cover all genres and we try to spotlight artists traditionally underrepresented in the music space. We don’t post negative write ups.
Hullabaloo is run by me (Misha). I started this blog in 2013 on Tumblr in order to justify spending hours a day listening to music instead of writing my college thesis. Since then, Hullabaloo has gone through many iterations, starts and stops, and reimaginings. For a few years it was on hiatus while I focused on writing a novel. Today, I see it as a space to post fragments, little poems, updates, mini-essays, and other ephemera – and share a few of my favorite songs.
Due to a very serious allergy to social media that I developed over the past several years, I will be keeping my time on the various “platforms” to a minimum. The Twitter and Instagram accounts are defunct as of now. However, I will be keeping Bluesky updated with new posts if you would like to follow along there:
We’re always looking for new writers and new music. If you’d like to contribute or submit to Hullabaloo please get in touch at:
