The World Forgot

In the past whenever Hype and Elbo.ws started to fail me I took a moment to reflect on what this blog has meant to me, and maybe more importantly, what it means to other people. First of all let me guide you to the list of Friends and Lovers there on the right. I love those bloggers, I really do, and I would appreciate it greatly if you clicked over there and checked out their sites. I know that I’m risking losing you forever, but as long as one blogger benefits then it’s worth it. And seriously, they deserve some love.

I also realize that many of you won’t read this post, won’t click over on that post, and really don’t give a rats ass about anything. But just in case you are reading this post but are too lazy to click on the sidebar here’s a little catchup for you weaker minded fiends. Just click the links hereafter for some great music blogs. It’s not an all inclusive list like some bloggers have simply because I try to keep it limited to the blogs that I actually read on a regular basis. I love these blogs, I hope you will too.

An Aquarium Drunkard
Bows + Arrows
Cable and Tweed
Crown Dozen
Good Weather for Airstrikes
Gorilla vs. Bear
I Guess I’m Floating
The Late Greats
My Old Kentucky Blog

Stereogum
You Ain’t No Picaso
Who Killed the Mixtape

And finally I am going to pay special homage to a blog that I have loved for awhile and have been secretly reading for quite some time. They’ve gone out of their way to send me love and some readers this summer and my list simply wouldn’t be complete without them. To be honest I can’t belive that I’ve left them out for so long. They are and shall ever be in my heart as This Recording. They have great music, an amazing knowledge of pop culture, and the rambling style used in their posting keeps me engaged as I try to understand what exactly links everything talked about in one post together. Basically it’s brilliant stream of consciousness writing and I love it.
