Depending on one’s interest, one is either amazed and entertained or bored to tears with Bill Kopp’s encyclopedic knowledge of the popular music of the last fifty years. A rock/pop music historian, he has amassed a collection of way more than 6,000+ albums, nearly half of those on vinyl.
In addition to Musoscribe (this site), Bill writes weekly (or nearly every week) for altweeklies Colorado Springs Independent, New City (Chicago), and Mountain Xpress (Asheville NC). He also writes and/or has written for No Depression, Trouser Press, Ugly Things, WNC Magazine, City Paper (Pittsburgh), Flagpole (Athens), Creative Loafing (Atlanta), Style Weekly (Richmond VA), The Laurel of Asheville, Brooklyn Paper, Salt Lake City Paper, Mature Living (Toledo), Bass Guitar (UK), Shindig! Magazine (UK), Record Collector (UK), Goldmine, San Diego Reader, 60sgaragebands.com, the long-defunct print magazine Skope (where he ran things as Editor-in-Chief for two years), Billboard, Stomp and Stammer, Tangents Magazine and Jambase.org, among others. He’s also a copy editor for Spill Magazine (Toronto) and the Jazz Desk Editor at BLURT.
