Original Stylus Staff Bio
Andrew Unterberger was born in 1986. He attends Harriton High School somewhere near Philadelphia. He has no real dreams or aspirations for the future, but hopes to be either a game show junkie or a barber from the 1940’s. He contents himself with coming up with endless amounts of lists (having several piles of notebooks full of them that could reach the ceiling of your average living room when combined), ranking everything and anything, and coming up with as many bogus musical, cinematic and evolutionary theories as Steve Coogan playing Tony Wilson in 24 Hour Party People (the closest thing he has to a hero).
After Stylus
Went on to become a deputy editor at Billboard, covering pop music history, charts, and artist profiles. [link]
