There was a time between the (now seemingly) slow motion
world of cassettes, mail order catalogues, glove boxes full of road maps and
the current era where your phone keeps track of your favorite public restrooms.
During this period, the Internet was only beginning to replace of more ‘analog’
services/establishments like video stores. It was during this time that the
blogosphere was just beginning to take shape and the role of music blogs seemed
endless. For those with a deep appreciation for music, they were amazing
because you got information on bands who would never be covered in Rolling
Stone or SPIN and even less likely to be heard on the radio. But best of all,
they were written by people who had the same lust for music as you had. Now,
with faster and more concise (READ: Limited) forms of communication available,
music blogs have been pushed to the sidelines. However they are still there! So
even if they can now only play a minor role in your vertical efforts towards
stardom, they are worth keeping tabs on, at least in terms of their role in the
industry. To find out more about the role of blogs in the music industry,
