Some Product

Any blog on the Sex Pistols can receive nothing but praise here. God save the queen, I swear! Some Product is just that, a Sex Pistol blog. I hear you asking, "some product"? Well, the name comes exactly from an interview album, which features the members of the Sex Pistols. The blog does not yet host a lot, but hopefully more is soon to come. For now, try Anarchy in the UK, A live Birmingham Concert, the Spunk Demo`s and The Electric Circus! Enjoy the band that is responsible for initiating the punk movement in the UK!

Oldish Psych & Prog

(TIP)

The name says it all, Oldish Psych & Prog gives you the best of psychedelic rock, rocky garage and progressive rock tunes. All delivered for free to your doorstep ;). What names to expect? Well, think of Simon & Garfunkel's The Sounds Of Silence (great album), the Kinks' Face to Face, the Finish formation Tabula Rasa (which I had had not heard of before) among many, many (Cockney Rebel, Curved Air, Chocolate Watchband) more. Do not be afraid to get bored, this blog has been almost daily updated since January of this year. If you only have time to check out one blog today, this one should be it!

The Genuine Fakes


The Genuine Fakes "is the new hope of powerpop in Sweden. Their songs are fueled by rock and catchy singalong melodies". How to describe their music best? "It’s Popsicle-rock with Beach Boys harmonies!" At least according to their fans ;). Why not give these guys a try? Check out their videos below. Ps. Nice mustaches, guys!

Good Hair Music


We like good music blogs, but who doesn't? However, I hear you thinking: what makes a good blog? Well, check out Good Hair Music to find out. Although they don't offer any music to download (unless offered by the artist), they always have the freshest posts - whether it's retrospective music from the 70's or brand new music released today. They also feature some really interesting videos by mainly underground top artists. They update their site almost every day and introduce you to upcoming and relatively unknown artists/ bands such as: Portico Quartet, Sa-Ra, Domu legendary DJ Vadim among many others. Check it out!

Fashawn "LIfe As a Shorty" feat J. Mitchell

Social and Music


Time for some more mainstream oriented music. Social and Music doesn't do whole albums, but allows you instead to pick the MP3s yourself. What to expect? Well, think of: 50 cents, Eminem, Kanye West among others.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights ft. Dwele

Skip the greek


Greece is not well presented here, which is why I am happy to present to you: Skip the greek! A new blog that provides you with highlights of greek music, expecially for non-greek listeners. There is not much to say yet about the blog, since they have only recently started. Try some rebetiko or some bouzouki and bring the ouzo (ούζο) with you!

Tha Deathstar


Tha Deathstar posts quality Dubstep House Beats, HipHop and Electro. Deathstar also informs their readers about upcoming releases or events in the Dallas, Texas area. The blog only started in November, but I have a good feeling they will stay with us for some time to come. It is cool that all music is directly downloadable from their website ('right click and save as' principle). Try it out!


Flageolette


Flageolette is your place for Latin, funk, break beats and all sorts of jazz. The blog has been around since 2008 and thus hosts hundreds of posts: AcidJazz (59 posts), Freestyle (99), Funk (118), Soul-Jazz (95), Triphop (56) and a lot more. Most of the music here is out-of-print, widely unavailable releases and/or otherwise hard to come by. I have seen Toets Thielemans, Madhouse and a cool record named "Vampyros Lesbos". Flageolette is definitely worth checking out for your daily funky sounds. Enjoy!

(SUPER TIP)

Reuben Wilson, Keith Thomas, Johnny Lytle, this blog has all a jazz lover needs. Probably one of the best music blogs on the web, success guaranteed!

What's Bluesdaddy Listening To


Bluesdaddy started his blog sometime in November, but I have a feeling that this blog will stay with us for a little while. The music is listenable on the site itself, and includes names such as: Groupo Pesado, The Avett Brothers and Paramore. It's a shame that none of the music is downloadable , but you can at least give it a try (before you buy) through the blog's lala application. Check it yourself.

A North Country Bhoy


A North Country Bhoy offers you "eclectic selections of rare and unavailable vinyl, live shows, remixes and radio appearances crossing a broad spectrum of musical genres". Although eclectic, imagine a blog with a good range of especially Balearic, reggae and solid remixes. The blog opened up only last November, but has made a good start. Here, you will find everything from Tricky, Bjork and the Nextmen to Frankie Valli (now that sounds good) and Alabama 3. Talking of which, enjoy some Soprano ;)

Alabama 3 - Woke up This Morning

House Mixes

(TIP)

Too long have we waited with our review of one of the best, if not the best, house music blog on the net. I am of course talking about House Mixes, an amazing site featuring everything from: Electro House, Funky House, Minimal, Techno to Jungle, Drum n Bass and beyond (far beyond). You name it House Mixes has it!

They have a vibrant Internet community allowing you to create a free profile to bookmark your favourite mixes, something which over 60,000 have already done. The site attracts over 8,000 visitors per day. No wonder people call it the Facebook for DJs ;). Anyways, enough with the talking, lets see hear some action!
