SGTMT
Tweet The SGTMT A to Z of Music Blogs was launched almost a year ago and concluded 6 months later having methodically worked through some of the finest music blogs on the planet. It's with mixed feelings that we've had to revive the series once more. I'm thrilled to get to post another one as researching and writing the series was a lot of fun, however, it's sad that one of our original 26 blogs is now deceased. The original 'C' [...]

Tweet This is supposed to be 'X' but after searching high and low I could only find one X blog and it sucked. If you have an X blog that we've missed then please get in touch and we'll consider adding X back in. Nonetheless we were not to be perturbed and have decided to replace X with a 'number' blog. So let us introduce you to our honorary X in the A to Z of Music Blogs: 1146 Miles [...]

Tweet It's been a few weeks but we're back to fill the V(oid) in the A to Z . Once again it was decidedly tricky to fill the V spot. Some of my old favourites were either in maintenance mode or sadly recently shut down. Nevertheless my hunt continued and lead to the AMAZING v Jame . Origin - v Jame is based in Slovakia, yep that's right SLOVAKIA! [...]

Tweet I'll be honest with y'all, finding a 'U' for the A to Z has taken some doing. I've trawled through numerous aggregators, blog rolls and twitter lists to find my prey. Nonetheless don't take that to mean I've scraped the barrel and dug out the mold from the bottom, instead I've mined the depths discovered a rare gem - Untitled Records Origin - Untitled Records [...]

Tweet The galactically renowned A to Z is back and this week we've reached 'T'. This was troublesome, some great blogs begin with this character and mournfully, many were overlooked. Nonetheless we're super pleased with our winner Tympanogram . Origin - Tympanogram have been at it since February 2009 and are from Rochester, New York state. I have no idea where that is BUT the Tympanogram chaps have [...]

Origin - Sunset in the Rearview has been a firm favourite in the music blogiverse since December 2008. A teenager in blog terms. [...]

Tweet This week we hit 'R' in the A to Z . I try not to be overly influenced by 'home town bias' in any artist reviews or any other comment on this blog and I sincerely believe that anyone anywhere in the blogiverse would struggle to disagree with our choice today - The Recommender . Origin - The Recommender has been educating the music taste of Brighton & [...]

Tweet Unsurprisingly there are few music blogs in the Q category and when we first started the A to Z this was the letter I was most concerned about alongside X & Z. However that doesn't mean that this weeks candidate is simply the only blog left standing, no no no. The winner beat off a small but strong field and is a deserved member of the A to Z. Without further ado we give you; Quit Mumbling . [...]

The 'M' spot in the A to Z goes to My Band's Better Than Your Band (also known as My Blog's Better Than Your Blog). Origin - My Band's Better Than Your Band heralds from London, UK. It's been on the scene since Nov 2009. Frequency [...]

Tweet This week saw a heavyweight contest like little that the music blogosphere has seen before. In the blue / gray corner - Listen Before You Buy ; in the pink corner - LOOSE L!PS . They wrestled & fought (albeit unbeknown to them), LL attacked with a Toro Y Moi remix , LBYB counter punched with a killer tune from The Kickdrums . It was neck and neck, blogger vs blogger, who was going to win? Am I hyping this up [...]

Tweet It's J day. On J day we continue our world famous (my auntie reads this, she lives in Northumberland, thus; world famous) A to Z series . To fill the J slot we've plucked from the blogosphere the super fantastic Just Press Play . Origin - We've had a stream of US blogs so it's great to return home to the Manchester based Just Press Play. They first [...]

Tweet Here we go; I. There are a stupid amount of blogs beginning 'Indie something...' The lack of originality in the name meant these were all instantly ignored for consideration in the A to Z . Sorry chaps, I make the rules. This left the field wide open and steaming through the middle came the exquisite I Guess I'm Floating . Origin - I Guess I'm [...]

Tweet So, H. We've wandered a little from the beaten track on this one into the undergrowth of Hip Hop, and amongst the bushes, grass and MCs we've discovered; Hold My Coat Origin - Hold My Coat has been going since early 2009 which makes it a wee babe in blog years. It hails from Massachusetts. I've never been there. Frequency and [...]

Tweet At the quarter way mark (kinda) we thought it would be a good time to review our journey from A to Z as we take a break at 'G'. A - Andygoesdowntochinatown B - Battle of the Midwestern Housewives C - Chocolate Bobka D - Disco Naïveté E - Et Musique Pour Tous F - Fat Roland on Electronica [...]

Tweet G was the toughest so far in the A to Z . It really was. How could we avoid the all conquering and best named blog in existence - Gorilla vs Bear ? Any blog that pits two of the greatest land mammals against each other and offers the end result of amazing mp3s must be a shoe in? Right? Well, it wasn't a 'shoe in' and we could avoid it, because of the mighty GIMME TINNITUS . [...]

Tweet This week 'F' is the letter in our A to Z of Music Blogs series on SGTMT. Today we joyfully give you - Fat Roland on Electronica I have to be honest to start with, I have met Fat Roland in real life. I brought him beer, he brought me beer. He asked a weird question about A-HA, I got it wrong (dammit). None of this changes the fact that the blog is awesome and he won the blog of the year at [...]
