Music Blogs

I am pleased that there seems to be a number of new music blogs popping up. Some are all metal and some are other kinds of music. I think music blogs and the people that write them are a little different than other bloggers in some ways. By writing about just one thing you probably limit yourself as to the number of people who may visit your blog. However if people are into it then they will find you and it also helps to seek out new music blogs as well. I read a lot of different blogs regularly, but being a music blogger means I can relate a little better to these types of blogs. I love music blogs even if I am not familar with all of the music that is being discussed. I love them because they are written by fans and fans don't have supervisors or editors or outside pressures so they are honest. Even if I don't always agree with what is being said, I respect it and I love to see different opinions. I remember reading Hit Parader and Metal Edge in the 80's and they were overall fluff. Magazines like Metal, Metal Mania and Rip (for a while) were a little more down to earth and on target. Still these guys were writing for an audience and music bloggers are writing because they like music and they want to talk about it. Don't get me wrong, I read metal sites and magazines and I respect a lot of those writers too, but I am very grateful to have both sides of the coin. So support your music blogs, leave comments, add their links and spread the word. I also said the word love more in this one entry than I have in the entire last year I have been blogging so maybe I should be smacked for that.
