I "write" for a blog. I am going to try and post more content this year than last year.
@ToddS awesome. What's your blog?
Big fan of the Heathen Disco substack.
+ 1 to everything mentioned. I also like Rosy Overdrive and the MRR reviews section
I'm biased as I write for them but NoEcho is great for new releases. Here's two blogs I absolutely love that don't get updates anymore.
Plus one that gets updates
I also have a substack that I'm hoping to start updating again soon here.
Edit: those blog names and the "here" at the end are hyperlinks
Psst. I have a secret blog called Juan Too Axe You. Please don't tell anyone.
P. S. i'm not a robot. I know what a motorcycle looks like, see?
Not a blog but everybody should own every issue of rate of decay
I guess it's sorta blog-adjacent...this is where I post my videos of live music I see in Austin:

This is my 2024 recap video: https://youtu.be/vdEuC_AbYNQ
Cheers!

this doesn’t "want to be your viral [xxx] agency" - but is still dropping mixes.
(up the punx to maximum nerdism)
@Evan Minsker agreed, came here to rep Rate Of Decay, cool little zine, mostly stuff I hadn't heard previously. Incisive details on production, sound, genre, and play.
Has nothing to do with current releases, but for zines I like Record Time (Scott Soriano), even though he makes me write stuff for it. It's all about cheap used records that are actually great. Nice for record store junkies.
@demoniotx This man is the real deal. Have of the shit I find of myself playing live online is from this guy.
Not sure how I ended up at http://janglepophub.home.blog but I dig their coverage of artists with less than 100 listeners on spotify, right to the point, a couple of references and I go check them out myself on spotify. Ive been trying to get off that stupid platform but everything else sucks worse. I hate supporting them - going to download all my bandcamp MP3's and put them on my phone. Who am I kidding.
Other than the above and the MRR reviews section, I try to keep up with the below:
- Gimmie Zine publish regular long-form interviews which can be really good
- Distort zine lives on in substack form at Reverse Evolution
- Sydney Salk from Paperface zine does a compilation review substack at Compilation Nation
- Dynamite Hemmorrage has morphed into Radio Dies Screaming which is mostly a radio show now I think..
- I've been trying to keep a substack going with interviews and a column at mebarelyhuman too, but struggle to keep any kinda regularity goin..
Keen to hear what else is out there too, really lost touch post-2020 and am pretty fed up by what Instagram has done to music networks and DIY communities at large, not that it's anything new, but the way that algorithm and posting habits favours media savvy image-focused bands who can be sold in ten words or less has really fucked with things imo!
@Max Easton had no idea about Distort substack. Thank you for posting.
Krissy B. from Mountain Movers etc. has a curated, short, and regular radio program here: https://www.mixcloud.com/OpenFieldWXOJ/
Many new releases featured.
Is this a blog or not, I leave to the moderators. Lets the music speak for itself.
A highlight is the episode featuring song by Sanullim: https://youtu.be/hoKd1mzvzt4?si=bsdJaw2BHtfsMjrs
