I’m John, but you can call me Travis Birkenstock. I’m a senior at UVM. I review music and DJ at WRUV. For all the excellent music that came out around the world in 2012, some of the best are yet to come and most of it is coming from Burlington. Maryse Smith’s new album is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, tooth ache.’s new project Slow Oceans is amazing, and Shelly Shredder is recording their debut!
