music blogs

Posted by somerville on 17 July 2008 - 10:20pm.

I'm finding more and more new music through MP3 blogs (actually, often it's new to me, but old music from a chronological perspective). I suspect others are too.

Apologies if it's been done before, but I'd imagine a call out to the word, ahem, massive, will bring forth a cavalcade of delights.

Here are three from me:

Utterly fantastic 60s 70s funk obsessive who rips from crackly vinyl.

Audio Out: ex rave scenester posts old 12 inches

http://rideyourpony-twighlightzone.blogspot.com/
Twighlight Zone - entire out of print rockabilly, garage punk, funk etc.

I could go on, but won't. I want to hear yours.

If you ever find one with....

Said it before, but...

...check out this one. The recent account of the rediscovery of Lattimore Brown is worth a look. it's a three parter (so far) but I really encourage you all to read it.

Try these

This first one I visit at least twice a week and I have mentioned here before: www.coverlaydown.blogspot.com
Also for covers: www.zeonmusic.blogspot.com
www.coverfreak.com

Others I rate www.sixsongs.blogspot.com

The joy is that if you find one you like, they too will offer a list of ones they like, allowing endless rambled thru' hyperspace (or wherever the interweb is)
