Q: What do you cover?
We mostly write about standard music blog type stuff – album reviews, interviews with bands, show previews – but we are also sharing our own experience of producing NadaMucho.com.
Stuff in the “Classic Nada” section is where we share articles from our first 8-9 years and make fun of ourselves. The “Our Projects” section is where we very openly write about our own contributors and the projects they are involved in.

Q: You guys know that “Nada Mucho” isn’t even really a proper Spanish language construction, right?
Yes, we do. The name was intended to be a tongue-in-cheek stab at how pretentious the mainstream music press had become by 1997.
To us, Nada Mucho means “a lot of nothing” even if it means “swims a lot” to Spanish speakers. So just leave us alone, already. No one gave Beck any flack for “Soy un perdedor” did they?
