Blog Shopping

Perhaps the perfect short break from writing a paper is finding tons of new blogs to explore. Finding an awesome new blog is like a new pair of shoes crossed with a rack of new CDs to check out crossed with a new friend crossed with rainbows. What I mean is, its pretty friggin kickass.

I should start off by mentioning the blog that started it all, Fantasmi Macchina, which basically posts music from a medly of experimental electro or synthy subgenres like NewWave, Italo, Garage, Drone, etc. I recently discovered it in my bookmarks and have been sampling the musics of 1000 Mexicans.

From there I discovered Matrixsynth, an "Everything synth' technical blog, which is completely useless to me, yet fills me with an intense joy. It's like finding a blog of puppy yawns or something. I was intrigued by the name Minimal Wave, which may be my next favorite record label. Also Minimal-Elektronik is a pretty awesome minimally-designed site that's basically just a listing of recommended bands and albums; probably boring to anyone not me.

Eventually I made my way to Mutant Sounds which has lots of foreign out of print LPs, that I have never heard of, probably postpunk, and looks especially pretentious for one of its ilk, so you know its good. As for Disco, I discovered Disco Classic, which I'm pretty sure is not in English, but could be fun anyway.

Electronic Music Heads Up

Hello world, lately I've been jamming on a bunch of stuff I've been getting from Hypnotic Breaks. It's a great site with lots of awesome electronica, especially the stuff I like that's more progressive, experimental or minimalist. Check it out for hours of fun! They just put up a ton of Hypnotic-Breaks Techno Packs, including one for Dub, Minimal and, the one I'm working on now, Detroit Techno Classics. Thank you Hypnotic Breaks!! Read More......
