Who
Ryan McNutt is a lifelong pop culture junkie currently residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. In his day job, he oversees new media and contributes to a wide variety of publications as part of the Communications and Marketing team at Dalhousie University.

What
McNutt Against the Music is a pop culture blog that welcomes opportunities to go off the rails a bit. While its primary focus is music and culture, everything from current events to technology to personal reflections can show up without warning. It aims to be as intertextual and chaotic as the post-modern times in which it’s being written.
The blog has been featured, among other places, at REMHQ.com, Macleans.ca and the Toronto Sun.
Where
McNutt Against the Music is based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, located on Canada’s beautiful east coast. The largest city east of Montreal, its geographic isolation means that only a handful of popular touring bands ever reach its shores. New Brunswick is most likely to blame.
When
McNutt Against the Music was established in July 2006. Its initial incarnation was located on Blogger, before relocating to WordPress the following November. Its most recent redesign was in October 2008.
