Best Music Tumblr Blogs II
Things move fast around here. One minute, we’re a wee little family of nerdy music heads on a baby Tumblr, the next minute we’ve got thousands of new friends and we’re working in a blog community that’s growing like a weed.
Last summer, I wrote a list of who I thought was putting up the best music content on Tumblr. People email me all the time to ask me to add them to this list, and a bunch of those bloggers are now gone and off to greener pastures now, their blogs lay fallow.
I thought it high time to re-do the list. Freshen things up a little bit. Without further ado, here’s my updated (and, ain’t gonna lie, slightly biased) list of who’s posting the best music-related content on Tumblr*:
