Chaz Cozens (HopelessCase) had mostly been a reader and only an occasional recommender on Readers Recommend when he responded to an appeal for new gurus. When not doing his day job (“something to do with computers”) in order to pay the bills, he spends an awful lot of his time listening to music (“everything from folk to metal”) preferably on vinyl. When not doing that he can be found around airshows, small music festivals and the local countryside, usually armed with at least one DSLR. He is owned by two Bengal cats, as is his wife.
