Author's Spotlight: G. Valentino Ball

You can now add G. Valentino Ball and his twisted Ghetto Nerd view to the pot. What is that view? Rants about pop culture along with a random collection of things hot infused with the attitude that can only be described as Boston. From the profound to the profane you will get it all. And be assured that your feedback is always welcome. According to G., “Music is an interactive experience. You need to feel it in an environment with other people so you can get the full impact. That love of music is what drives my love of nightclubs and the club experience. That and the scantily clad women and copious amounts of alcohol. HAHA.” G. Valentino Ball is a Boston based freelance writer. His work has appeared in the Boston Globe, the Boston, Philly and New York editions of The Metro, Boston.com, Downtimeonline.net, Examiner.com and now Thatsmajor.info . The former Editor In Chief of Downtimeonline.net also works an A&R for Pollymore Music Group. When he isn’t writing for his life to get out of his day job, he’s enjoying his first love, music. www.twitter.com/gvalentinoball www.facebook.com/gvalentinoball www.myspace.com/gvalentinoball www.myspace.com/noizerockstar http://blackstonian.ning.com/profile/GValentinoBall
