Fluxblog

from 4/19 Flavorpill.net

Part of what makes music blogs so intriguing is that they enable you to dig quite a bit deeper than usual and revel in obsessive fandom. As such, Fluxblog is an essential daily read. Founder Matthew Perpetua mines genre after genre, selecting the freshest, freakiest, and finest tracks — based on pure merit and/or what's close to his heart — and writes a synopsis of each one, providing plenty of context for further exploration. It's a great way to discover new sounds, and Perpetua conveniently links to a purchase site for those who want to own the entire record. Curious to hear the original track that LCD Soundsystem covered when they played NYC recently? Want to read an insightful review of Annie's US debut? Fancy a cut from the forthcoming Fannypack LP? All this and more lies within the Flux. (CJN)
