Nominations End Soon For Hypebot’s Music Blog Awards
YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC BLOGS THROUGH 12/19/07 HERE.
NOMINATIONS END THIS WEEK
So far we’ve gotten lots of emails, comments and cross-posts in other blogs. We want to know what blogs you read for to music news and to discover new music. Not music industry news like here on Hypebot, but rather sites that fans like us use to stay on top of what’s happening.
Soon we’ll put it to a vote, but for starters we need your nominations for blogs (and we use the term broadly) in these four categories:
- Best Music News Blog
- Best Music Discovery Blog
- Best Niche Music Blog
- Best Band Or Fan Blog
Tell us your Top 3 or so nominations in each category in the comments section or email them to us. We’ll tally them up (and maybe ad one or two of our own) and put it to a vote.

Kings of A&R

Kings of A&R
I like Kings of A&R and Coolfer as well. Both sites are a bit different. Kings of A&R is more music driven and Coolfer falls more on the technology side. I go to Coolfer for write ups on new product promotions.I read kings of A&R for the music industry and new music.

A great, diverse and passionate music blog by an Irishman in Austin 🙂
cubikmusik (http://cubikmusik.typepad.com/) for Best Niche Music Blog
Kings of A&R hands down. I have found the better bands off that site. The Killers, One Republic, The Fray, RJS! BEFORE they were signed. I also dig the rants!
I read Kings of A&R for my daily dose of music happenings. Hypebot seems cool too, you’re on my feedburner now.
Thanks

The Daily Chorus – hands down. Many bands have been signed off this site, already, from majors to indie.
Coolfer is good, too.
THE DAILY CHORUS without a doubt.
I don’t know what I’d do without that site.
Kings of A&R for sure. Its on my homepage. Also read lefsetz, he is pretty cool too.
