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.

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.
