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.
