Tim Hardaker's relationship with music is a sordid tale that stems back to school days spent behind the bike shed reading dog-eared copies of Rolling Stone rather than smoking cigarettes. A dud at sport and useless when it came to maths and science, when Tim had his first article published in street press at the age of 15 he made the obvious choice and set about making a career in media. A few years (and untold amounts of blagging) later, Tim has found himself in the position of General Manager at inthemix.com.au, Australia's largest independent music website with 400,000 visitors each month.
