Everyone and their dog has a blog. Or so it seems. And this bloggy overabundance can make it hard to find good writing and interesting content. There are a lot of blogs that are nothing but fluff, bad writing, celebrity nipples and the very latest information about what Paris Hilton ate for breakfast. But there are also a lot of needles in the blogosphereic haystack that offer quality writing and unique voices. Leah and I are making an attempt at this ourselves, and I think we're making pretty good progress. We’re trying to find a readership by offering interesting posts, without posting pics of Tara Reid's latest wardrobe malfunction.
Many other blogs already have distinctive voices and have earned a devoted readership (including myself), and every Saturday I'm going to point out some of my favorite posts from around the web:
Hero Hill wrote a nice post about how MP3 blogs should review albums and not just individual tracks.
An Aquarium Drunkard wrote about one of the best albums of all time - Murmur by R.E.M.
Said the Gramaphone posted a quirky, interesting piece about a quirky, interesting band, The Red River.
You Ain't No Picasso talked at length about The Essex Green.
