How To Find The Best Music Blogs

How To Find The Best Music Blogs

By Ryan Van Etten on 06/03/2010

In the sea of music blogs, best means most relevant to the reader. How can bands or listeners find blogs in their genre? How can they find blogs in a specific city? Google is an obvious search tool for most topics, but to really get in the trenches and find smaller indie blogs, here are five super-effective search techniques. Includes live music photos.

Flickr Search Fail

Flickr Search Fail

By Ryan Van Etten on 06/01/2010

Is water polo related to digital music? Flickr thinks so. It also can’t tell the difference between a house and a person. Can anyone make sense of this and/or provide insight into Flickr’s search algorithm? I’m using the Recent tab, because I’m often most interested in more recent photos. The Recent search results should still be relevant. I’m a huge Flickr fan, but this isn’t the first time the search has me asking what the Flickr? Anyone else?
