Yesterday, I was super excited to meet Largehearted Boy after his panel at Book Expo America (Book  Blogging and the Big Niches). Like a fan, I politely introduced myself and he was very gracious.

If you don’t know,  Largehearted Boy is a music blog that has been in existence for eleven years, featuring daily free and legal music downloads, as well as news from the worlds of music, literature, and pop culture.

It’s a really lovely blog for lovers of literary fiction and music. David Gutowski, who is the founder and publisher of LHB, is a very sincere and intelligent guy. He writes smart reviews of the kind of books he enjoys (lit fiction, short stories, etc.). He also asks the authors for music playlists, truly merging the world of writing and the world of music.

Needless to say, he’s also on Twitter where his profile reads: “I read and write and listen to music. A lot.” Oh, and he lives in Brooklyn. Nice.
