wandering around the world of music blogs can be a painful experience. blog after corporate blog playing and promoting the same old crap. you might notice, dear reader that i am in the process of developing what is called (rather naffly i think) a “blogroll”. it’s just where you put links to sites that you like to save your friend and reader having to bother trawling the internets. i discovered, to my pleasure, that there are a number of quirky music blogs out there hosted by people who care about music and don’t give a flying fart about what we’re “supposed” to be listening to or what’s trendy. have a quick shifty at the blogroll if you fancy it. but if you don’t, i’ll post some bits and pieces discovered from them, here on the blog.
