Aloha! This is the new home for my music column known as The Run-Off Groove. If you are coming here from visiting Music For America or may have heard about the announcements elsewhere, welcome.
To make a long story short, after 3 1/2 years of doing my column, I had been told that MFA were going to stop running as a website. I initially was going to wait until the beginning of the year to start something again, but you know, why wait around? Here it is, new home, at least for now.
For those who are new to my column, The Run-Off Groove is where I review music from a wide range of genres. Initially, my column was meant to look into new hip-hop releases, and that's it. Since I listen to a wide range of music, I did not want to pass up a chance to review a bit of anything and everything. This is what The Run-Off Groove is about. I enjoy exploring the world of music, so I hope you'll bookmark this site and come back on a weekly basis. Ideally I would like to keep to the schedule of having a new column every Tuesday, but if I feel like posting some music news, or an article swipe, a YouTube video or something, I will. I'd like for it to evolve from what it was as "just a column", and perhaps this will be the start of something bigger and better.
Mahalo nui, and I'll have a new column very soon.

About Me
- John Book
- John Book has been a music journalist for 23 years. Along with being one of the original contributing editors to the "All Music Guide" in 1992, he was a contributing writer to "The Rocket", "Goldmine", and "Discoveries", along with over 70 different publications. His knowledge of music comes from 28 years of record collecting/accumulating, and a curiosity about those sounds embedded within leading to a lot of research. Outside of the music he listens to, he is also an artist/producer working under the name Crut. An album is being recorded for release hopefully before the end of 2007, with more to follow. On the web, he was the founder of the Unofficial Wu-Tang Clan Mailing List (U-WU), and had also done fan sites for Prince Paul and Ozomatli before devoting his focus on his own work. One of his major passions is to share information and history about the various aspects of recorded Hawaiian music in the 20th century. He is currently working on a book that he hopes will be the first of many to come.
