Just a quick post this weeks as I’ve been locked in the studio finishing a few tracks before the end of March, finally! This is the first in a series of weekly posts on some of my favourite mp3 blogs and online magazines. MP3 blogs have been around for quite some time now and most people who create music tend to have quite polarised views on them, are they killing the music industry? Do they help to promote the long tail of music for artists? For me they educate and enable me to find new and old artists which I would never have access to through any kind of mainstream media.
If your a lover of jazz and soul then you should take a look at Blaks Lair. He covers a wide range of artists in those genres and also branches out in to hip hop and rnb. There’s always a high number of new posts every week with some in depth knowledge and great bit rates for those with quality issues. I used to read a huge number of music magazines but really only grab a couple every month now because, well, the real knowledge can be found elsewhere now.
If you’ve got any mp3 blogs or online magazines you’d like to share just drop me a comment and spread the knowledge. Now go download that old Freddie Hubbard album then jump out and hunt down the vinyl.
