My name is Ryan Davey and I am an enthusiastic music fan born, raised, and residing in Toronto, Canada.
I want to pay tribute to the music I love and am still discovering, so this site is for sharing my thoughts, memories, and playlists of the bands, genres, and songs that have meant so much to me.
And yes, this site is named after my lifelong favourite song, “Ceremony” by Joy Division and New Order.
