How They Bring The Music To Us: The Culture of Music Blogging
Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:26 AM EST
Inspired by music blogs such as Fluxblog and 3hive, it wasn't too long ago that I set out to create a music blog of my own. It also wasn't long until I failed completely and then tried my hand at podcasting (an endeavor that proved to be better but short lived).

Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:01 AM EST
The new CD by Ghostface Killah The Big Doe Rehab is a prime example of factory-made rap music. While the Wu Tang Clan is not usually considered mainstream because of explicit content that makes its music unplayable on airwaves, the members are definitely not underground.
