Music Blogs Suck?
I don’t get around to reading very many music blogs - although I should. So as I searched for more music blogs to add to the blogroll, I came across this post about a music blogger who says that music blogs now suck.
This music blogger says that the “word counts of posts have shrunk, and the commenters have gotten meaner and greedier”. I’m not sure what kind of music world that blogger lives in, but I haven’t experienced that at all. But then again, I don’t get too many comments here anyway - but they are welcome!
The blogger goes on to say that good writing has gone out the door which I don’t believe to be true. There are good music blogs out there - you just have to dig a little. Take, for instance, Vinyl Notes, a blog written by a fellow KnowMoreMedia.com blogger, Kimberlee Morrison. Kimberlee’s thoughtful and insightful posts always inspire me.
I don’t think all music blogs necessarily have to consist of “good writing”, whatever that means. There are different blogs that serve different purposes. There’s the blog that shares music videos or the photo blog that only contains pictures. There are blogs that cover music news, blogs that share random thoughts…and so on.
The last time I checked there wasn’t a right and wrong way to do a blog. I like to look at blogs like I look at paintings or any other work of art. They’re all unique and special in their own way.
