Music blogging in web 2.0

I'll give you a f'r instance.

Interview conducted for UK research student Laura Nineham for her BA (Hons), 2009

I'm giving up my blog. It's got dull. Any suggestions for new ones?

Christopher Walken vs Lady Gaga

To paraphrase Ian Dury, "There ain't 'alf been some clever bastards..."

new stuff. you tell me.

I've got the following, here. To listen to. What first?

Reflections on Plan B magazine

Former Careless Talk Costs Lives and Plan B contributor Steve Hanson has just started the mammoth task of re-posting all his articles and reviews onto his blog.

How to compile a mix CD (part three)

This one was compiled for a French friend who stayed with us a few months back. It's specifically designed to fit onto one CD, and is long overdue. It clearly reflects both of our tastes. Maybe putting this up here will spur me into sending it...
