People often ask how I know so much about music. The truth is I follow my musical curiosity. And in doing so I have found some magical places and met music educators and junkies like me who have shown me all kinds of new and wonderful sounds, styles, and singers. This page is a short list of some of my most favorite and trusted internet spaces for music mind expansion. Some for genres I don’t listen to that much but still understand the relevance and importance. All of these links are run music fans not corporate shills. These are local community people with a passion for music and it’s related ephemera. I promise, you won’t go wrong just clicking a link and going down the musical rabbit hole. And if you like what you discover please support them.
Bay Area music for local by locals. Supporting local for over 40 years! My musical family. Watch, listen, and submit your music.
Each week a theme and a new playlist. Just because it’s across the pond doesn’t mean you can’t play along as guest or guru for the week. Plus great new music reviews.
The up to date (plus debates) on one of the most culturally important genres in the USA and my 2nd favorite genre of all time. Everybody loves some country music, even you.
Helping you cope with mainstream music muck by taking the piss out of all the corporate crap and mainstream pap.
New stuff. Classic stuff. Post-post-punk stuff. Music videos, reviews, commentary. The deepest of dives into the dark not quite goth realm of fuzzed out synthy music.
A one stop shop for extended keyboard noodling and songs over 10 minutes long. Helped me enjoy music I at one point could not understand.
