Are There Other Music Blogs?
Although it baffles me why you would look to any source other than Line Out to get your music news and views, I do understand the impulse and admit to reading other blogs from time to time. If you’re not already immersed in the indiecrat blogosphere, here are a few to check out.
Click Opera is Momus, aka Nick Currie, musician, art critic, Whitney Biennial “Unofficial Tour Guide” and Wired News columnist. He’s a polarizing figure, what with all his opinions and stuff, and he’s also quite the prolific writer with a lot of interesting thoughts about life in Berlin, New York and Japan, the Slow Life movement, cultural relativism, etc. (He’s also the guy who predicted that “in the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen people” — the seed quote for a book I’m working on.)
David Byrne. A very thoughtful writer, generous and critical at once. Theater, culture, science, art, music. Line Out readers have pointed out his recent entry on packaging and music. Despite all evidence I will take full credit for helping get this debate off the ground :-)
The Original Soundtrack. Geeta gave up a promising career in neuroscience to hang out with us critics and write about techno and stuff. A good run of posts here on the relationship between cooking and music.
Woebot. Obscurists better keep a fresh pair of pants handy.

KEXP is great. Their blog, I'm sorry to say, is very dull. Lot's of pics of the djs. At first it's a tiny bit interesting to see John in the morning with his kid (how nice, a dad and his kid. what a good guy. ) and then when you see it for the umpteenth time it gets old and feels manipulative.

i agree that the kexp blog is tremendously dull for the most part. they're rarely offering (interesting) content not already available elsewhere on their site.
The crucial heat is at negrophonic.com It is DJ/Rupture's blog, and is a great blend of politics, philosophy of art, and obscure mp3s.

I'm not a huge Mountain Goats fan, but John Darnielle is hilarious.
KEXP has a blog now, too: http://blog.kexp.org
