A Dashing Blade

Dashing Blade opens his site with the comment "just some stuff I reckon you should hear before you die" and I couldn't agree more.

Bizarrely the site pretty much mirrors my own record collection so imagine my delight when I found it!

Mixing great music (anything from ABC to New York Dolls) with some unusual entries such as radio broadcasts, audio books and "Sounds Of The Rainforest", a free Sunday newspaper CD, and inordinately well-written commentary, A Dashing Blade is a fascinating delve into one man's sounds and interests and that, alone, is certainly going to keep this writer coming back for more.

Back On The Road

If ever a blog can be said to have something for everyone it's Back On The Road.

With no discussions or reviews, the blog's simply a run down of classic albums from the 50s to the 00s, giving you the cover, a track list and a download link. It doesn't specialise in either era or style, just the greats and at the top of each page they give you their own compilation, "Top Singles 1955-2000", a year per page. Collect the set!

The only bugbear for me is the absence of a search engine but with a blog this good it seems churlish to criticise.

You need to check this site out!
