Thank you for asking. Yes I *do* have a music-related blog, it's here - http://skirky.blogspot.com/ Tales from, not so much the seething front line of popular music, but a wardrobe somewhere in the back of the spare room of the overlooked maisonette of aspirational self-produced CD and pub band-dom.

I also always keep an eye on Martin Newell's blog. It rarely mentions music, but in case you were wondering what the erstwhile Cleaners from Venus frontman and Independent poet-in-residence is up to, it's an invaluable resource... http://martinnewell.stevedix.de

but I'm keeping it schtum othwise you lot will nick all of my ideas!

Hello Fraser,

I would recommend The Perfumed Garden

http://theperfumedgarden.blogspot.com/

which is always interesting, and Planet Mondo you've already got, so that's alright then. Oh ... ahem... and completely selfishly, I Am Not The Beatles, of course.

Coming up soon - a few interviews with the nice people we have tracked down. First up, President very very soon :

And let's face it, it doesn't get much more exciting than that.

All the best,

If I could add one, I Guess I'm Floating is one of my favourites, not least for its 'Thursdays and Covers' feature which usually throws up some unusual covers.

However, you could argue that The Hype Machine is all you need.
