Harder Blogger Faster has been our labour of love for well over 3 years, and in that time we've welcomed millions of visitors to through our virtual doors to listen to new music, discover fresh new talent and, hopefully, read some of our reviews, interviews and general musings about the music industry. Recently it has dawned upon us we've probably taken the site as far as we can in its current form, and that's where you lovely lot come in. We want to expand the site over the next 12 months, with a team of contributors, a new [...]

Joe writes: My brother Ben's first post, about Bob Marley, is below. Ben is two years older than me so introduced me to a lot of music from Aztec Camera to Faith No More to Lord Tanamo. He wanted to be called Worldsgreatestmusicbrother on here but he has ended up with plain old Ben Taylor.

Hello Lofties, as you know, everyday we grow larger and more fabulous. To keep up with the rising need we need to constantly reinvent ourselves and introduce new angles to our brand. Yes, it's time we introduced our third contributor to LOFT965.com. Fawaz is a very close friend of ours and he has been posting since September 2012 under his name. If you ever see any posts that feature heavy airliner, big hair and/or wind machines it's probably his post (excluding Mariah's). His taste varies from bubblegum Europop to more sophisticated wonky pop to K and J pop. [...]

Just a quick note from me today about the contributors to ENS. In the past couple years, I have had a great team of folks who contribute to this site on a regular basis. They make ENS run honestly, because even though our updates aren't always frequent, I can't and have no desire to do it all on my own. I don't give them nearly enough credit for the work they do though, and even though this post is a small thing, I wanted to say this to everyone. I want to thank all of [...]

We have been contacted by the toy company Hasbro and asked to shut down our site by the 30th of June.

You probably remember a great commentary on Hip-Hop from WIB contributor and podcast host Chase March on redefinition of masculinity in Hip-Hop . It is definately worth a read if you haven't already; it's very thought provoking. Anyway, a few days ago a article discussing a similar subject matter cropped up and as soon as I read it I knew it was worth sharing. It talks about the modern tendency for more feminine Hip-Hop stars, and the open mindedness and acceptance of which homosexuality is approached with as a consequence. This article [...]

Earlier today I created a Chipin fundraiser page for a good friend of freehiphopnow.com. My good friend and co-host of "A Monthly Bondfire" lost a valuable tool last night. Someone walked off with her MacBook shortly after our event at BPC. Needless to say that it's not a good look to lose an item beyond the cost to replace it, the data contained was invaluable. She just did a two [...]

You may remember San Diego based director / photographer Charles Bergquist from our post a while back on his projections collection . We're all big fans of his work and through Ghostly and Tycho we have worked with him a lot over the past year. I am currently working with him on the new Tycho live visuals set and realized he would make a great contributor to the blog. Charles will mostly be doing video and photographic posts with a focus on process / equipment. So everybody give Charles a warm welcome, his first post [...]

We have a series of features here at P&P that are based on the emails from Kayla , an 11-year-old girl who is the daughter of a friend of mine. Contrary to popular belief, Kayla really does exist and is not just an excuse for me to anonymously reveal my passion for Ke$ha's music. This week, instead of getting Kayla to write a review on a new track or video, I had her answer a few questions. When we started getting Kayla involved, it was mostly just for the fun of it. Reading her so unabashedly share [...]

ENS contributor Meredith Melragon was in North Carolina last month for the Hopscotch Festival and was kind enough to take some great pictures from around the fest for us. Check below for more... [...]

Recently, another Mp3 Medication contributor and I were participants in a bumpin’ dance party, and one song in particular really had us going.  Since then, I’ve been wanting to give credit to the ridiculous bassline and gritty tension that got an entire roomful of people grooving.  Thanks, LCD Soundsystem.  The song’s called You Wanted A Hit. So load this onto your iPod, crank up the volume and the bass, and get groovin’.  It’s the weekend!

Tweet Listen Before You Buy is always looking for more writers and contributors, we just don't always make posts like this to advertise the fact (even though to some it seems like this is ALL we do). That being said, below are the positions we have available (currently non-paying, but with the prospect of making a few bucks as the site grows). If you're interested in either of these positions then please get in touch with us with your name, your preferred [...]

Anyone who knows me (meaning EJ) knows that as the editor & publisher of this site since 2005, I have been a solo operation for the most part. I have searched high and low for new contributors to what I do around here & at long last, I've found someone whose voice and whose passion for music matches my own. Welcome, then, Elizabeth to the Loudersoft family of contributors. I feel confident that her contributions will bring you hours and hours of listening and reading enjoyment. - EJ [...]

Tweet And by hiring I mean I need people to contribute for nothing!  Even though it seems like I'm always "hiring" (it's non-paying just in case you're wondering) I was in good shape and not taking on any new contributors, but unfortunately I had one flake on me and the other, long-time Editor Matt , is leaving to concentrate on awesome things happening in his personal life.  Good luck, bud! So that means that there's now a position available as an Editor as well [...]

• Frank Ocean - Swim Good

First of all, stickers are coming soon, but we're still finalizing designs. Until then, I really want to pick up the marketing for P&P (but I don't have money) so I decided to make a street team. If anyone wants to be a part of the P&P street team, here is some hoodrat stuff you can do: - Get a sharpie and write "Pigeons and Planes" on your shoe, or your jeans, or both. If you do shoes + jeans, don't wear them both at the same time. This is too much. - If [...]

Planet SHHH would like to welcome Jesse D-S (of Provocatively Evocative ) to the fold. He's going to be posting here & there, helping us keep more of a regular flow (because no one likes to be irregular?). He's a good friend and We're (I? You?) looking forward to his contribution/s!

Along with about 18 or 19 other people on the Internet, we are super pleased to report that the kind folks at Internet powerhouse (and sometimes debilitating and crushing portal when it's not working) Tumblr have asked us to be an editor for their tag tracking all things South By Southwest during the festival, which [...]
