Ten blogs I read though I don't seem to


There are quite a lot of blogs out there which I enjoy reading but which are not in my freshblogs watchlist as they do not seem to provide freshblogs with correct timestamps. If your blog is in this list and the freshblogs timestamp is correct by now please feel free to tell me.

  • said the gramophone: Sean from Montreal likes similar music off the beaten track as me. Four styles: Americana, indie rock, singer/songwriter and a wee bit of prog. This is his personal music weblog.
  • Tangmonkey music: A lot of album reviews are by Sean again. Recently there was Wilco, The Flaming Lips, many Grateful Dead records and The New Pornographers.
  • I Love Music Blog: I got a little bit bored of this by far most active music forum on the web which is available in blog form now. Probably there are too many people (far more than a thousand) posting questions now than in the earlier days when I used to know at least the names of the posters. Too many mainstream and vanity threads now for my liking. Still the best place if you have an interesting pop music subject to discuss about.
  • sequential randomist: Not too much happening here lately but still some good writing on pop music. Someone who (re)discovers Wire is ahead of me anyways. I feel that I didn't yet give them the listening time they merit.
  • Nude as the News: This used to be my favourite music webzine. Called after one of the greatest songs by Cat Power. Recent articles on the new Blur and Smog albums and a show by Bright Eyes.
  • strangefruit: Quite calm in this part of the web too recently. But a very solid indie rock taste with a penchant for Americana.
  • Fimoculous: Something like a pop culture link log. The quality of the pointers is top notch. Recent discoveries are a Murakami short story, Google stuff, Salam Pax & the NY Times and a Scorsese-Bob Dylan interview.
  • planing lakes: A great name and many interesting links (incl. quotes) on pop culture and the likes.
  • the null device: Out of the many high-quality aussie weblogs probably my favourite. Focus on indie rock, left-wing politics, tech stuff and movies. Very busy.
  • Travelers Diagram: Another culture weblog with many nice pictures and artwork. Music wise it is the usual mix of Americana and indie rawk I have got a faible for too.

 
 

Three more I forgot:

  • Basement Galaxy by PopMatters contributor Adrien Begrand. Pop and indie rock is covered here. Not always my favourite artists but indispensable to get some ideas about recent releases. Another Canadian music weblogger.
  • prolific.org is Caroline from Amsterdam writing longer posts on her life incl. concerts, commenting on links and reviewing products like CDs, movies, restaurants and stuff succinctly. She is a big U2 fan which I can understand considering she is about my age.
  • rockcritics.com
  • collects links to articles and reviews by (what a surprise) rock critics.
