Help Me Build the Best Music Tumblr Blogs 2015

A few years ago, I compiled a list of my favorite music blogs, particularly focused on the Tumblr platform. Times have changed, as it always does. Some folks have changed focus, others have left Tumblr, some have quit blogging all together. It’s been a fun hobby, and hell, some of us are even trying to make a living out of sharing the best tracks.

Given the new state of affairs, I figured it was high time we should re-craft this list. Everyone is blogging their own way, their own style. What’s yours? Who’s your biggest influence? Who do you love reading on the regular? Who finds the hottest gems? Where are you finding the most audio enjoyment? What’s the best way to share under-appreciated artists in this day in age? Who’s telling compelling stories about music?

Reblog this post, send me an Ask, and always feel free to email me at yvynyl @ gmail.com with your tips, stories, and music. We’ll find out together!

When people are just spreading things that have been heavily marketed, they seem more like pawns than fans. Not that I’m saying people are thoughtless, but I never see music as a popularity contest… I hate mobs, and I’ve never believed that the most popular thing and the best thing ever correlate. I think that we’re losing something. Perhaps it’s the idea that music should challenge people a little bit, every now and then.

Legendary Music Blogger Sean Adams on ‘Slow Death of MP3 Blogging’ | Evolver.fm

This is a great piece on somewhat of an over-played topic. Personally, I think we’re living in the Golden Age of music blogging. Sean has a lot of great points in this piece, and I don’t think he’s as negative as the title of the piece implies. But what’s so exciting about this is that we ARE seeing a whole new paradigm emerge, and that we’re all invited to play around in the space. Most innovative ideas win. It’s fun!
