Mp3 Start and It's Linked

Mp3 Start has a nice music selection of music blogs and also uploads single MP3s to zshare. The listed blogs are not categorised by genre or alphabetical, but are nevertheless clearly visible to every viewer. The seems to be a emphasis on hiphop music, but also other genres are represented. Not bad, not at all.

TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP

A lot better even is their other blog, It's Linked. A good place to search and find your favourite tracks and albums. In fact the idea behind It's Linked is quite brilliant indeed. Simply type your query in a Google box and search the results for all your favourite Hip Hop, Rap RnB, Soul and other audio files. The site is still in Beta phase, but could well prove to be a good alternative for your average Google/ Yahoo search. Definitely worth checking out - TIP!

Sound Roots

Sound Roots is a pretty cool blog which does world music and global culture. The latter intends to add a bit of political and historical background information to the music discussed. There are only a few full albums available, but there are lots of samples available. I (out of my own interest) especially appreciate the blog's post on Chinese POP music. Well worth a few minutes of your time.

Son Kullanma Tarihi Olmayan Müzik Yazıları

Sehirliderviş seems to be a Turkish owned blog. Don't hate me when I am wrong, our Turkish is somewhat rusty! Anyways, Sehirliderviş does Metallica, The Walkmen (Indie Rock), The Moody Blues, Black Stone Cherry (Post-grunge, Hard Rock) and other alternative music genres. It is a pity my knowledge of Turkish is so limited, otherwise I think I could discover some good Turkish bands/ artists. Nevertheless, this blog is promising and well recommended for those with an alternative spirit. Enjoy.

Back

We have come back from our respective holidays and are now accepting and adding new blogs again. Enjoy our new selection of quality music at the place where music lovers begin.

Bluesman's world

Bluesman's world is a (proudly) Hungarian owned blog. The blog does World Music (a lot of good Hungarian stuff), ethno, folk and even some gipsy. I even saw some good old klezmer, well done! The blog started in April this year and is updated on a daily basis. This one is well worth checking out for those who want to hear something new!

Modern Music

We were told that we forgot to include Modern Music. Well, I guess we did. Modern Music is a cool and recommended mostly Indie (but also Pop) oriented music blog. A place to listen to sample MP3s and to read reviews of (mostly) new albums before actually buying/ downloading them. In other words, not a place to download the whole thing, but rather to taste before possible acquisition (or download). The reviews are not bad and pretty critical (which I personally find a plus), the downloads are solid and mostly go through Rapidshare. Not bad, not bad at all!

Splash en los Oidos

And the reviews keep on coming. Splash en los Oidos is a Spanish (mostly English) Indie blog. I have seen Air, Architecture in Helsinki, The Walkmen and even Dido among other things. The owner(s) post about two to three posts a week which is a tad of downside. Anyways, check it out yourself.

The Trance

TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP

The Trance is the TIP of the day. A massive and diverse amount of vinyl at arms length. Definitely worth a visit for your 1970s and 1980s pop and disco. Most of the stuff posted here I was initially unfamiliar with, but this soon changed as I filled up my hard drives! This one was a pleasant surprise! Enjoy!

Bug In The City

Bug In The City is an eclectic blog which in other words does almost everything. Expect, Dj Krush (Turntablism, Hip Hop), Adjeef The Poet (Dutch pop), Schwabinggrad Ballet (Prog. Ballet), Brain Donor (Classic Rock), aparagonofbeauty (Avant Jazz Rock) and other lesser known musicians and music streams. Well worth a visit to find new things (at least for me it proved to be a good source of a lot of novelties).

House Depot

I am behind my review schedule, so today I will try to catch up as best as I can. First one on the list is The House Depot. A good looking house (naturally) blog which attempt to "bring you the freshest, illest, rawest,dopest, grimeyst, hardest, dirtiest, nastyist, baddest, biggest, best, sickest, loudest, dankest, mos def, house music on the planet". Well at least that is the promise they make on their website. However, dont get me wrong, this shit is tight! A recommended blog for all bangers.

The Mood Indicator

The Mood Indicator is a somewhat different blog which introduces you to a whole range of music. Lykke Li (Indie), Gavin Friday (Alternative Rock), German Schlager (German Folk), Chris Rea (Vocal Pop) and Tinariwen (Protest Songs). In other words, a whole lot of different music for a whole lot of different moods. Find your own.

80's tapes

80's tapes is another cool 80s blog. Expect two posts a week, mostly dedicated to mainstream 80s pop music. The nice thing is that the music on this blog comes from old cassette tapes. Not bad at all!

Tommy Gunn

Tommy Gunn is a relatively new blog which does a lot of different things. Expect everything from Billy Joel to De La Soul and from Rod Stewart to The Notorious BIG. It still looks a bit uncertain where this blog is going, but go ahead and check it yourself.

WeLove-music

TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP

Special attention is also paid to Turkish and Sufi Music. In three words: AN amazing blog! Treat yourself and visit WeLove-music now.

Industrial, Post-Punk Update

Get ready for some industrial, post-punk and hardcore noise. Some of these blogs I intend to categorise under the metal and punk sections, others will find their home in a new Industrial/ Gothic/ Emo section.

• Salmagundi Syncopation - Blog description says: "All kinds of music from out of print LPs and CDs to world music, punk, hardcore, industrial and metal". Now you now what to expect! Weekly updates, nice lay out.
• Imaginary Dark does Cello Metal, Dark Cabaret, Dark Electro, Deathrock, Doom Metal among other dark genres.
• Destroy Silence opens your ears for Alternative, Post Punk, Gothic and other industrial inspired music.
• Happy Fun Good Time Smile Look Ouch (great title) looks somewhat dead but did experimental music with a classic touch (Randy Newman, Peter Gabriel, Coil and Roxy Music).
• Glinena ovca (argillaceous sheep with ceramic teeth) is an infrequently updated music blog which is specialised in experimental and industrial music.
• Gatekeepers is most definitely not only a metal blog, but also does alternative and progressive rock. Unfortunately the blog has not been updated in the last 3 months.
• SheerInertia's Engine - "Music for those inclined to think", well that is what the description says. Expect Christian Death, Love and Rockets, Swans, The sisterhood etc.
• MantelDerNacht - Is also an industrial electronic blog which does Electronic, New Beat, Techno, Goa Trance, synth pop among other things.

Vida Digital

About a hour or so ago I visited Vida Digital. A blog which has enough interesting links to make your digital experience even better. Everyday the owner seems to describe and introduce you to a new video/ photo or music site/ blog which he find (rightfully) worthwhile to visit. The description are in Spanish and Portuguese which for some of us could be difficult. Nevertheless, despite this minor handicap, this one is definitely worth checking out!
