Weekly Blog Roll

Here are the weekly blog picks in action:

1. Sad news yesterday: MC Breed died. You can read about Breed and check out some of his music on T.R.O.Y..

2. I loved this post - Simple Ways to Idolize Me - on Josh Writes a Blog. In a world where a new music related site/portal/platform is created roughly every time I take a breath, I thought this blog was a well written example of letting fans know where they can find you online in a sincere, non off-putting way. The blog clearly served its purpose well, as I saw loads of people on Twitter giving it the old retweet routine.

3. Speaking of the unstoppable deluge of music promotion/networking websites, Christina of Cyber PR Urban wrote this blog about the seven best sites for hip hop artists. Nice to narrow things down a bit, eh?

4. If you'll allow to play it fast and loose with the definition of "blog" for a minute, I love this timeline offering some perspective on the long, long journey of Guns n' Roses' Chinese Democracy. Thanks to Carla Lynne Hall. Love how the album is available only in Best Buy, guys. Rock on! (Wonder if Best Buy still sells below costs and breaks street date like they did back when I worked in an independent record store and they moved into town? Yeah, that's right, I'm bitter. Still.)

That's all of this week. Got a good blog? Let me know!
