Call up your local MP3
I hear text blogs are passe, so last year, there’s only so much you can say in 300 words, now MP3 blogs are the only way to really connect about music.
It’s probably all true. But I like trying to say it, in some ways I prefer reading people talk about the music they love too, rather than just providing a list of downloads with accompanying spiels.
Still those sites are invaluable ways to hear new sounds, especially here in Tokyo where the shops have an aversion to letting you listen to CDs. Levins lists a bunch of the best MP3 sites on his great blog, you should read the Manitoba interview he has up too.
If you’re after something a bit more electronic, check out De:Bug’s podcast site. It’s one of the best local music mags in the world, based in Berlin, so the podcasts are on point. Madstyle’s Chillusion EP is great, Frank Bretschneider, Monohm, Nero, there is so much top new electronic music.
