Musicalement Votre


Great 80's and 90's collection (singles and albums). Some great rare baggy albums.

ILM Rough Guide, John Peel Festive 50


ILM Rough Guide is a wonderful reference to "Scenes" and what songs to look for. I'll be scouring through this more myself but it looks very promising! http://www.base58.com/ilx/ilm/ilmroughguide.html Also found John Peel's Festive 50 by Year which also looks like a good read. http://www.festive50.com/

Brazilian Blog with all kinds of genres. Some International of course, but most in English, and with few live shows too. Lots of stuff! http://gamesediversoes.blogspot.com/

Here's a history of Grunge music I put together

While its not a content post it was a nice way
to get back in touch with my roots. Can you
