  • Albums for the Autumn at Drowned in Sound [Link]
  • Jeremy Warmsley - I Believe In The Way You Move: A rather simple and effecting music video - old age, ballet and movement and a great song, from one of those autumn albums^. [Link]
  • “When the internet came, we overthrew the pasty white tastemakers, the duplicitious music marketers and the manufactured pop idols. And then they all came back. This is Idolator. We’re so disappointed… the [U.S?] music-blog netherworld has become as homogenized and indistinguishable as the record labels themselves.”: Generalisations aside “Idolator” is here and its influence will be felt: It’s a new U.S music blog from the Gawker Media blog empire trying to keep the popular music blogs + critics in check whilst providing something refreshing. I’m not yet sure what that will be, but it could work. [Link].
  • Meanwhile: MarathonPacks put music blogs in their cultural context and talks a little of the impact of Idolator “Blogs aren’t close to being responsible for any sort of sea change in the music industry—they’re much too small to take credit for that—but it’s important to note that they are reflective of the current, confusing, up-in-the-air state of affairs” [Link]
