Best Blogs of 2008

ZACH THAT:

Best New Blog: MFR
This award is not to the blog that was created in ’08, rather the blog that was new to me. MFR is one of my favorite daily reads with it’s fresh take on the music scene. The writing is very strong and they may report on something that has been through the elbo.ws cycle a few times, but they put a new take on the news. Great blog…I look for them to be in the running for best blog of ’09.

Best Local Blog: Backseat Sandbar
This award goes to the blog that acts as a service to a specific area. Backseat has completely revitalized a dying music scene in Louisville, KY. Not only do they plug every local artist…they brought in Thao, Casiotone, Starfucker, No Kids and other great live acts.

Best Download Blog: RADIOBUTT
By far my trusted source for “sampling” new tunes is RADIOBUTT. Just go there…you’ll see.

Best Blog of 08: I Guess I'm Floating
IGIF is my go to blog for all things music. The site is crisp, the writing is strong, and they just have a dying passion for music. It’s consistently a great read and they like the same stuff I do, so it’s just a good fit. They stay on top of the scene and constantly remind me why I blog myself.

Let me know what you think. Give me suggestions for great blogs. Plug your own blog. We Listen For You loves you all.
