  • 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.

    eirdo 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?

Here's a new Halloween classic if you want to add it to the list.

It's called Halloween at Shady View. It's by Kids on Bikes, a band from Scranton, PA. You can download the song free on the Wooden Boy Records website. Here's a link to the song on Youtube, too..
