Radio Rommeltje

Radio Rommeltje can, judging by its name, only be a Dutch blog. Am I right or am I right? Well, it might also be Flemish. Anyways, Radio Rommeltje is a relatively new blog which provides you with mostly popular music from the 80s, 90s and today. Expect albums from Whitney Houston, Avril Lavigne, The Pet Shop Boys and some Euro things. It still looks a bit uncertain which direction this blog will take, but the beginning is made.

R-T-C

R-T-C (no, I have no idea what that stands for) is a very good blog which does Rock, Pop (43 posts), Indie (95 posts), Electronica (70), Metal (43), Acoustic (27) and Rock (90) among many other genres (Dance, Hip Hop , New Wave etc). This multi-disciplinary blog knows its stuff well and provided you with both quality albums and entire discographies. I have seen everything from Roots Manuva to Limb Bizkit and from Shitdisco to Tool. The contents loads easy and the music is plenty (updates are at least daily and up to 100 posts a month). Very convincing good stuff, no doubt. Still, I would love to know what R-T-C stands for! Anybody?

Rio Groove FM

Rio Groove FM is Brazilian, hot and... groovy. Tito Puente (Latin Jazz), Jimmy Castor (Disco Funk), Raul Mascarenhas (Brazilian Jazz), Brooklyn Funk Essentials (of course!), you will all find them at Rio Groove FM. Posts are updated daily together with a short review in Portuguese. A good place also to grow love for the latin groove. Enjoy.

Kucsimuka

Kucsimuka is a pretty straight forward blog where you are able to download fine Blues, Jazz & Pop and Rock music. A nice feature is that the links are provided through anonymz. The posts are both in English and in Hungarian and updated every two to three days or so. The selection is good and diverse. Well recommended.

Fire Drills

Fire Drills is a relatively new blog which provides reviews and publishes single MP3s. The reviews are short and concise and give you a good understanding of what to expect from the music under discussion. Expect reviews from Moondoggies (Rock), The Features (Psych. Rock), Greg Laswell (Indie Rock) and Night Marchers (Punk Rock). Useful blog for information on lesser known rock/ indie bands.

Doctor Mario

Doctor Mario is a Spanish, Catalan Blog which provides you with music commentaries from different epochs. I find it difficult to catagorise this blog, but expect a wide range of different music genres ranging from The Deadly Snakes (Indie Rock), Tom Waites, The Staple Singers (Gospel) to Alex Chilton (known from his work with Box Tops and Big Star). The blog is updated twice to thrice a month or so. For those whose Spanish is better than mine this blog must be welcomed.

Scott Gill

Scott Gill is a somewhat difficult blog at first, but once you get the hang out of it, it all becomes clear and pretty straight-forward. This link generating blog is organised alphabetically by the name of the band, artist or DJ you are looking for. As soon as you found what you were looking for, the link will take you to Gill Scott's Wiki Site (master site categorsised by music band is to be found here), where you are able to find a great amount of third links to albums of the music you were initially looking for. Still difficult? Go ahead an try it out yourself, thus stuff is well recommended!
