A Post about Blogs
Yup, I’ve come across a little splurge of blogs at the moment so I thought it’s time to gather them together and to point out the changes on my blogroll.
Firstly a blog which Seb Robot vs Dinosaur has started with a chap called John Pete, it’s called Superbonusland.
Still on the local promoters front, Colour in Wolverhampton have just started one.
Ian from How Does it Feel to be Loved? has started a New Band of the Day blog. He’s already mentioned several bands who I love on the blog and the ones I’ve not are all good too.
Betty & the Id have got a Bettyblog up and running. There’s a good post about promoter ethics, and I’ll be following this blog closely. It’s part of a Betty & the Id website.
Another good local band with a blog is Ace Bushy Striptease. It’s a really lovely blog, it’s an interesting look into the window of a band. It also has some links to other stuff and it’s genuinely enthusiasticly written.
Burning World has been going for much longer than the ones above but I only came across it recently. It ticks loads of my electronica boxes as well as indiepop stuff, AND they put up the Novak Peel session for download.
Indietracks have been doing one too in case you’ve missed it. There’s some good interviews and mp3 downloads from some of the bands who are playing, including KateGoes.
Ooh, and finally I’ve just this week started doing posts for Indie MP3. It’s been a hectic week this week so I’ve not put up much there (or here), but it’ll hopefully mean that I can help bring a bit of attention to some Birmingham bands, as well and posts about some of the great indiepop bands who get in touch with us over the next fem months slash who knows how long.

Pete, it says Pete (well it does now).
Sorry Seb and PeteJohn. I’ll stop making up stuff and use actual facts next time.

Cheers guys! We are loving running the blog, it’s fast becoming a full time obsession. We dont have pictures of cats though, disapointingly.

Thought I’d add that I’ve also started a new website & blog for Robot Vs Dinosaur, which can be found at http://www.robotvsdinosaur.co.uk.
Two in one week- is that a record? Oh, and John wasn’t involved with this one either!
