New Musicblog action, soon to be sidebarred:
Opacodex has gone whole hog into the music thang and is unearthing a lovely mix of pop, world and exotica.

The Big Ticket has my template and my hyper-verbosity down pat. Plus tracks, including the new "Eternal Sunshine" Beck song.
Mind the vomit, tho.

I love Nitpick's musical taste: Basement Jaxx, Nellie McKay and Ella Fitzgerald.

Ready Rock Moe Rex is also a great talker with eclectic interests.

Certainly not MY cuppa, but if you dig disco, you should check out Disco Gigs of the 70's & 80's. This is a straight download site, which I have mixed feelings about. Am I just kidding myself that the commentary makes this method of finding new music more ethically acceptable? Probably.

Owing to tremendous personal upheaval, the format at the Hut is somewhat obliged to become likely drastically less structured and verbose for a little while and may be marked by moments of silence (with warning).
This change in style might well be a blessing, no? I could do with a bit more concision.
Anyway, your patience with my erratic nature while I ride out this particular tsunami/shitstorm is appreciated.
