Been meaning to start this since soon after I joined…I’ve seen quite a bit of chatter about the role blogs can play in providing wider and often better music coverage and analysis. And I know at least a few of y’all are music writers. This thread is for you to provide outstanding examples of your writing, to share your own site or blog focused on music, as well as other writing you’ve done that you think the community will enjoy.
Think of this as the place where self-promotion carries no stigma;)
I’ll kick it off with my personal site that started as a means to get work after getting laid off two years ago and became part of my raison d’etre. Can’t say enough how important it is that we at least consider giving the music blog thing a go…for those too young to remember, 2006-2011 saw the mass proliferation of sites sharing stolen mp3’s with the more interesting ones providing analysis. Eventually, most were sucked up into writing for established music sites like RA. Having run my own site, I became friends with a number of bloggers and watched as their passion for music briefly died while working for such sites. Anyhoo…
Also, share those blogs you find interesting as well!
