Hey y’all not sure if this is the right sub but wanted to know if there are recs for great audiophile blogs that focus on music (less around the gear) to read in-depth analysis of tracks, artists, albums and new music recs. Thanks in adv!

    You want to listen to a podcast about songs? Instead of just listening to the songs? Am I missing something?

      OP asked for blogs, not podcasts.

      Back around 2008/09, music blogs were an incredible resource. People would write reviews of stuff they liked & then would just straight up link to a free download of the album in mp3 or flac. The blog would be hosted on a platform like Blogger, while the music files would be hosted on a platform like RapidShare. There was less of a focus on new music, a lot of the stuff was deep cuts.

      I don’t think music blogs exist in the the same way that they used to, but I could see where the musings of people with good taste would be a welcome change from the normal discourse around music.

    If you want to go balls deep into Shoegaze, check out “I was a Teenage Shoegazer”. It’s exactly what you described.
