tea & failure

here's to the fast times, the times we felt alive; to all the nights that we forgot to get back home.

Rawktumblr: 14 Ways Music Blogs Could Be Useful Again

I’m all about number six: 14 Ways Music Blogs Could Be Useful Again

rawkblog:

6) Be a champion for bands

One thing blogs can do that other publications can’t: be geeks. If you think a band deserves more attention, post their single. Review their album. Do an interview with them. Post the video. Post the next video. Post the tour dates. Write about the album again two months later — you’re still listening to it, aren’t you? Repetition can make a big difference! If you post a song once, it disappears. Think about it this way: if you posted a new band once a day every weekday, that’s over 250 bands a year. How many albums will you actually buy this year, 10? 20? How many good albums come out in a year? Get behind those. Promoting 250 bands is not “tastemaking”: it’s stupid. 

I love this. Great read. All music bloggers should take note.
