Welcome
W
elcome to the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll. The aim of this project is to build the most comprehensive list of music blogs available on the internet, and categorize them according to genre for your convenience. At the time I created this there were several great websites which were invaluable resources for discovering music blogs; however, I couldn't help but notice that the majority of them were either poorly categorized, or failed to include a number of essential blogs. I hope that this blogroll will fill that gap, and serve as another invaluable resource for music enthusiasts everywhere.
I also strive to ensure that this list contains blogs of the highest caliber. In order to make the list the blogs must meet several requirements. It is inevitable that some visitor's favorite blogs will be excluded as a result of these restrictions, yet it guarantees that the list as a whole will be of a much higher quality, and it spares me from having to regularly remove upstart blogs which call it quits after a few weeks. I should also mention that blogs which contain commercially available material will not be listed here. Digital Meltd0wn does not advocate piracy, yet we are not responsible for the content of the blogs listed here. Our aim is to promote blogs which focus on rare material that is out of print or otherwise unavailable. If you find a blog on the list that fails to meet this criteria, please report it.
In closing, I would like to take the time to thank all of you wonderful music bloggers out there, whether you are on this list or not. As a music blogger myself, I know how much dedication and hard work goes into running a blog. Your work does not go unappreciated, and this list would not exist at all were it not for you.

Featured Blogs

The Chronic Music blog has been going strong since January of 2008. One of the first things you will notice upon visiting the blog is the simple, yet stylish three-column layout, which features a number of different navigational options to choose from. The thing I love the most about this blog is that it is truly eclectic, offering up everything from acid jazz to melodic death metal. I love exploring the tag clouds on blogs such as this, as they tend to be a invaluable resource, either for broadening my knowledge of genres and artists that I know very little about, or introducing me to those that I am completely unaware of.
It is evident that a great deal of time has been spent perfecting this blog. Several modifications have been made in order to provide a variety of methods for navigation. Dropdown menus replace the traditional archived posts and labels lists, and as I mentioned above, he has also added a tag cloud for labels. Chronic Music also provides more information than the average blog about the content being posted. In addition to the great write-ups, you will also find links to the artists' official sites, wikipedia entries, discogs page, a preview track, and links to several different sites where you can buy the album. The Chronic Music blog certainly believes in offering a broad range of choices to it's visitors.

Weirdo Music is the first non-blog to be featured here. You may be wondering why the featured blog isn't a blog at all. The reason I chose to feature Weirdo Music is because it's owner does a great deal to promote and share music that would remain largely unnoticed were it not for his efforts. The site is operated by Marco Kalnenek from Heerlen, the Netherlands. Weirdo Music is a multi-purpose site, delivering news, reviews, and columns, in addition to serving as an online record shop. One of my favorite areas of the site is the downloads section, where Marco features a revolving collection of music blogs which focus on rare and unusual music. In addition to Weirdo Music, Marco has also been operating his own net-label, WM Recordings, since 2004. The WM catalog features a rather eclectic selection of independent artists, offering everything from Pop to Afrobeat. The majority of the WM Recordings catalog can be downloaded for free, but there are also a few commercial releases available at a generous price. Marco is also an accomplished independent musician in his own right, having self-released several full length albums and EPs. You can read more about his musical projects here.

The Chocoreve music blog hardly needs any introduction to many within the music blog community. It's operator, Chocoreve has been going strong since February of 2005. During it's first few months of existence, it simply linked to other websites, pointing out where to find quality albums. However, in June of 2005, Chocoreve started to serve up albums from his own collection. During the last couple of years it has developed into a vast treasure trove of vintage music from around the world. Chocoreve is probably best known for it's huge collection of compilations of rare garage rock and psychedelic tracks from the 60's and 70's, the majority of which contain tracks that you won't find anyplace else. It is a simple site in terms of presentation and design, remaining largly unaltered in appearance since it's first inception. Most of the albums do not feature reviews; however, don't let this small fact discourage you from downloading any of them, as the majority of them are unsung gems well worth listening to. Chocoreve is a legendary blog to all who are familiar with it, and if you're unfamiliar with it, upon visiting it you will soon understand the reason why. Have you left your comment today?

Digital MeltdOwn Music Blogroll has been added to recommended sites @
Birds With Broken Wings blogspot.
Thanks for compiling such a great listing!
What happened to the scrolling blog updates? I liked them. Not complaining, just asking.
mysterie: I was using Grazr.com's free service, but I didn't realize that they only allow you to list 50 feeds with their free service. I am currently looking for a site that will allow me to merge all of the feeds from the blogs on the list into one feed. Once I do that then I will use the Grazr widget one again to display the feed. Hopefully this won't take me too long.

I really like what You're doing over here. I'm sorry I had to remove Your comment from the Monkey Hustle Post, due to our strict policy that comments should not only advertize for other blogs and not comment and/or give thanks for the music. Please ad both http://blaxploitationpride.blogspot.com/
and the more experimental:
http://blaxploitationjive.blogspot.com/
To Your blogroll.
The category for the first is mainly Blaxploitation and Funk OST's plus a shitload of Kung Fu Movies (Whatever these have to do with the genre).
The category for the second is strictly music from the legends that built the foundation for the music that we have come to know as Blaxploitation. Plus I have plans for a P-Funk category in there (very Hush, hush).
Hi,
this is my blog:
http://heretoblast.blogspot.com/
and it's all about SST Records.
Mp3's of out-of-print releases, also live shows.
Best wishes,
DD

Hi,
I have created a NEW blog, for all of the KUSF DJ's that play new music on KUSF, The University of San Francisco Radio station in SF!
I record all the shows from on the air FM Broadcasts through a Stereo Tuner and edit them for each DJ. You can stream these shows as well.
This is a labor of love and takes a lot of effort, so I hope you take a chance to listen to some of our World Famous Radio in San Francisco.
Here's the site:

And KUSF's Official Site:

Thanks and Best Wishes,
Bryan Chandler
