There’s Blogs In Them There Hills

Typical blogger

Here’s a quick round up of a few things that may be of interest to people.

In addition to its normal posts about one man’s listening habits, the Radio Nixon blog has embarked on an ambitious project to review every Motown single released.  This will surely make interesting reading for anyone with a passing interest in Tamla and soul.  This mammoth project warrants its own site: Motown Junkies.

Meanwhile When Hearts Turn Blue has taken a leaf out of Old Rope’s blog and continued the discussions about cracking introductions, as begun on this site, in this post here.  For anyone who has not yet seen it, there is currently a public open Spotify playlist for your suggestions available here.

That hip cat Mersey Beatitude is inviting discussion on a thesis concerned with pop music and authenticity. You can read the first instalments and post comments over at The Real Thing.

I’ll break my promise and give a brief mention to the Fab Four and a Beatles Youtube album, which thematically compiles Beatles videos (mostly by album) along with notes.

Meanwhile both History Is Made at Night and a revamped From Despair To Where? are always worth a read as is the excellent Swine Magazine; I cannot shake off John Le Baptiste, dead or alive; and those seeking sexual thrills would be advised to have some tissues at the ready and head over to Mr Trippy’s love nest.
