For actually getting to hear cool, old records, I'll third, I believe,
Little Hits. There's also a blog called Setting the Woods on Fire
(http://www.settingthewoodsonfire.com/) that I like to check out. The guy
who runs it keeps honing his collection of music and commentary. Good
stuff.
Music Thing is a good, weird gear-oriented blog that I check in on about
once a week: http://musicthing.blogspot.com/.
If you like to discuss music and engage in some spirited, silly
disagreements among friends - mostly devoid of insults and hurt feelings -
I'll put in a plug for Rock Town Hall (http://www.rocktownhall.com), which
I moderate and which includes contributions and participation by a few
folks you know from here. It's not for the most thin-skinned musical
relativists out there, but trust me, although we sometimes bark we rarely
bite. The rock nerdiness that is celebrated is partially tongue-in-cheek.
Thanks, Michael Coxe and others who've driven this list over the years. I
hope something picks up from here and feels refreshed and refocused.
