Chris Baynes

Chris Baynes has been writing for PopMatters since 2007. He currently studies English and Philosophy at the University of Liverpool, where he spends his time being mildly dissatisfied with the quota of small, cute, furry things in his life, but fairly happy with the amount of free music he receives. He refuses to divulge his musical inspirations and favourite genres in case he decides he doesn't like them anymore and looks silly. Chris's life has thus far seen a trickle of 'ideas', both literary and musical, the majority of which fail to progress any further than this formative stage. His plan is to increase his productivity in proportion to his age.
