The Rub: it isn’t (ha ha). I think we’ve linked this before. Indie-oriented music weblog, to-the-point and well-written. Also very tasty-looking: I had no idea pitas sites could look so nice![…]

A Face in the Crowd: and another new blog (yes, I’m going down an ilxor.com plug-yr-blog thread). This is by o.nate, a well-regarded ILM regular, talking about Astrobotnia, Carter Family, Sonic Youth (everyone’s talking about Sonic Youth […]

Blogcritics has launched, promising the ‘best writers’ online talking about music and stuff. I didn’t recognise any of the names myself but that’s fine, right? An opportunity to find some good new online writers. The issues so[…]
