A few things

Just a few interesting things that I have seen lately.  Completely music related.

First, The Day After the Sabbath, a great blog that makes mixtapes of obscure 70s bands, focusing on psych and hard-rock/proto-metal.  Most of this stuff has long been out of print and was ripped directly from  vinyl, so you probably do not need to feel bad about downloading this stuff.

Next, Cosmic Hearse.  Cosmic Hearse is a blog run by Aesop Dekker, the amazing drummer for Ludicra--Here--the fantastic Bay Area black metal band.  Similar to the Day After the Sabbath, Aesop posts obscure or out of print music.  However, Aesop's music tastes are far more broad than the Day After the Sabbath, which focuses on a specific era.  Cosmic Hearse runs the gauntlet from punk to old country to black metal to death metal demos.  While not everything he posts fit my tastes, I have discovered some fantastic stuff through his blog.

Finally, just want to give a shout out to one of my favorite blogs, Invisible Oranges.  Run by music writer Cosmo Lee, Invisible Oranges is an intelligent and honest look at metal.  Worth checking out.
