Mega Super Mammoth MP3 Blog List

WELCOME TO ALL

# of LINKS Today: 1,637

Just added 9 new blogs (Feb. 27) plus 58 new blogs and deleted 5 (Feb. 14, 2008). There are some serious issues regarding the future of Mega Super Mammoth that I am going to share with you soon. What kind of blog will MSM continue to be? Is it time to cut out some blogs–especially ones that feature too much material that I would categorize as “RIAA-bait”? Should we even add a commercial component to the site to make the effort more worthwhile for me? Should I continue this thing at all, given the constant coming-and-goings of new and old sites? There are several other issues/controversies I want to present to you. Stay tuned. -Evan

This is the ORIGINAL, authentic MEGA SUPER MAMMOTH MP3 Blog List, found ONLY at the GRAVYBREAD blog here. Accept no substitutes or imposters. -Evan

What’s on this page?:

mammoth-side-crop-55-2.jpg1,600+ MP3 music blogs & sites listed with URLs

BlogSites “rated” according to a highly subjective system that defies explanation and is in accordance with my personal tastes, which are pretty wide-ranging. I tend to prefer full-album blogs over single-track sample ones and appreciate sites that offer massive quantities. The ratings are otherwise super-subjective and not meant to offend. The assumption is that all the blogs listed here are worth checking.
Trust, but verify…


What the “ratings” mean
:

Blog without bold letters = a good blog of its type, but one of lesser interest to me for various reasons: eg., might contain typical pop, rap or other forms of newish commercial/popular music that are not my bag (they may be yours), or may have good samples of obscure-ish indie/garage/bar bands, or may offer cuts rather than full albums. Always worth checking for the odd or unexpected surprise.

Blog with bold letters/lowercase = a good blog of some interest or niche value with good material; worth checking occasionally.

** Blog with bold letters/two asterisks/lowercase = Blog of high interest with unique items; worth checking weekly or at least monthly.

*** Blog with bold letters/three asterisks = Blog of primary interest (to me) and worth checking regularly. Unique material and/or lots of it.

*** BLOG WITH CAPITAL LETTERS/three asterisks = Top-of-the-line blog of strongest interest to me (tends to have unique rarities) and worth checking daily or weekly.

Want to be listed here? Just leave a comment and ask/request. If you have a lot of free music to offer and appear to have a serious/viable share blog, then you’re in like Flynn. If you are a pay service, don’t even bother trying (your message will get the heave-ho). Also, comments welcome if you found the blog useful.

 

Two Ways to Access the Content

NEWS and Opinion for the MP3 Obsessive:

And the BEST BLOG Winner Is:

loronix-zeca-topblog.jpg

LORONIX (loronix.blogspot.com) is, in the opinion of Mega Super Mammoth, the very best music blog in the world, and is therefore named the 2007 Mega Super Mammoth MP3 Music Blog of the Year. For his efforts, Zeca Louro received the grand $50.00 USD cash prize. Not only does his blog offer ample and consistent content (the best and often rarest Brazilian and Brasil-themed music LPs from roughly the 1950s through the 1980s and beyond) but Zeca has succeeded grandly in creating a highly interactive web experience and cultivated a thriving international community of musicians, music lovers and scholars. Congratulations Loronix, and keep up the good work. -Evan G

GOOD NEWS: Revival of the great J Thyme Kind blog (jthymekind.blogspot.com/). Following its sudden disappearance in February, the J. Thyme…Kind blog, has returned with its fetching mixture of choice retro soul and super Brazilian compilations. Seems there was some problem related to the file-sharing service he was using. Anyway, welcome back JTK!. -EG

GET these buttons: Totally Fuzzy has made some handy widget images (of Totally Fuzzy and of us, Mega Super Mammoth) for use in your blogroll/sidebar. Images and codes for these buttons can be found at Totally Fuzzy/Link. You can see the Totally Fuzzy one I am using in the sidebar over to the right.

    Hiya Evan,

    Just came across your page in my travels and want to congratulate you on a well-assembled site/list. Thanks for including me in the list even though I haven’t been able to devote as much time to posting recently as I would like. I didn’t see too much overlap between your indicated tastes and mine but it seems we like a lot of the same sites anyway.

    Keep up the good work, as you can tell from the comments us bloggers are very appreciative. So much great music and so little time.

    Cheers, SamIam

    there’s a link at the bottom of the page. “Add this search engine to your blog or webpage”.

    Everybody, you and all other bloggers that visit here can put that widget on their blog or page. This is not resticted to totally fuzzy, just because we made it.

    Anyway, whatever you seem fit.

  31. NMos Says:

    Hi
    Just discovered your lists; it’s amazing how much effort you have put here. I’ve just added a link button for your site in my blog, taken by totally fuzzy.
    In my blog I upload albums (with their front & back covers and inlets if any) from all genres. I’m always driven from current events for each upload. See for yourself. Hope you’ll like it and include it in your list.
    Thanks

  32. Federica Says:

    Hey Evan :)
    What a HUUUUUUUGE list! I think your site is a MUST-HAVE in bookmarks for every music lover out there!
    I’d appreciate if your add my blog to the listings as well, it’s quite new (only a month online) but I add new material almost every day. It also is completely ad-free, nicely designed (by me… yeah.. I’m a graphic designer:)). Genres i like are: electronica, post-rock, experimental, jazz, classical and all kinds of beautiful mostly instrumental music.

    http://secret-music-box.blogspot.com/

    I hope you check it out (and maybe even grab something you like)
    Thank you for hard work and devotion to sharing good music.
    Federica

  33. Jazzsoulman Says:

    I would be extremely thankful if you could add my blog to the list. I usually post anything that I’m listening at the moment, with an emphasis on electronica, experimental, and indie pop/rock/folk.

  43. Time Bandit Says:

    I just found your site at another great music-blog “Shakin’ all over” (the new version of Re-Upped)

    I started out my self for about two weeks ago, and hope to get listed at your blog.

    The blog is called C-60 Low noise and focus on alternative rock mostly from the 80’s /90’s and sometimes a trip down memory lane to the 60’s and 70’s.

    http://c-60lownoise.blogspot.com/

    Have a nice weekend!

  44. ozz Says:

    the more this gets popular, the more the chances of riaa forcing google to do something about the ever increasing number of music blogs. and believe me, your site can do a msaaive amount of damage in the sense it provides this huge list of copyright violators. that would be a sad day. please delete the blog and do us all a favour. those of us who download music from music blogs know our way around enough to find the stuff we want and incase we really need to save a site for later, we bookmark our favourite ones.

  45. Indeterminacy Says:

    I added a small link section to my blogroll with the music sites I visit, then stumbled across this amazing list, which I’ve also linked to.

    I found a few sites that don’t seem to be in your list, so here goes:

    http://westernswing78.blogspot.com - Great and definitive western swing
    http://discosvioleta.blogspot.com - The entire discography of Violeta Parra of the Chilean New Song genre
    http://sellodicap.blogspot.com - Music from Chile, past to present
    http://blueseveryday.blogspot.com - Blues and roots

  46. Nolan Micron Says:

    Hi there,

    Great list. thanks for all your efforts.

    I have just kicked of a new blog which I am updating regularly. Mostly vinyl rips at the moment from eighties indie bands. Hope this is of some interest to you and you can include me on your list.

    Thanks,

    Nolan Micron.

    Loronix, I agree with you, is a killer blog. Zecalouro deserves the prize. I like very much Zinhof too.

    Growing blog with various genres from electronic to instrumental:

  51. Nae Says:

    This isn’t exactly a music blog, but it’s an amazing website, and a bit ofo searching will reveal TONS of free albums for download, mostly from underground artists in a vast variety of genres. I’ve been a member for 2.5 years, and I’m obsessed with this site.

    http://last.fm

    Try searching the tags for “free.” “full album,” etcetera. You’ll find a lot of amazing music.

  52. GarColga Says:

    Hi - I believe ozz (comment, Nov. 23rd) is onto something. The shocking amount of new music blogs, most of them posting nothing that hasn’t been posted lots of times already, is a danger. Google will eventually be forced to deal with this. Please remove my blog 8 Days In April from your blogroll.

    Thanks in advance.

    GarColga

  53. Tim Says:

    new blog, just started:
    http://www.brrrptzzapthesubject.com/

    I’ll be posting all sorts of stuff, but with an emphasis on noise, noise-rock, art-punk, post-punk, experimental or uncategorizable music, and the obscure

  54. Quink Says:

    Hi! I think your blog is great for discovering new music blogs. I myself have started one 2 not so very long ago and I would like to be added here, because I could use some traffic!

  66. Poncho Says:

    So, what characteristics do you consider to be “RIAA Bait”? I’m sure we’d all like to avoid that!

  67. Pancho Says:

    I was serious in my earlier post about avoiding “RIAA bait” but you deleted my comment and didn’t answer my question. I’d really like to know.

  68. gravybread Says:

    Pancho, I haven’t deleted any comments. i just haven’t had time to read through and approve them yet. I have 41 comments yet to look at and approve and address. I have a backlog of requests from bloggers wanting to be included in the list–and all of those remain unapproved. I only update this thing every few months now.
    RIAA-bait is potentially virtually anything that is being posted, except for material that originates from outside the United States. Theoretically, even the most obscure lounge record from the ’50s is RIAA-bait. Realistically, though, RIAA-bait probably refers to big-selling stuff such as Beyonce or the Beatles and even lesser selling but relatively popular stuff like Zappa. Even music originating from outside the US is subject to some form of copyright law, obviously. So what’s the difference? There’s an odd form of moral relativism that exists in this music blogosphere, and if you want to cut down to the crap basically all blogs are violating something or another. The question is: Are you OK with that on some level? There are a million justifications for posting copyrighted music files, the most common and understandable being: “The record company sits on all this wonderful, old, obscure, artistically interesting stuff and consigns it to a vault and keeps if off the market, thus limiting my music choices. Therefore, why should I not post this material to ensure that others can enjoy it and save it from undeserved oblivion?”
    Right now, I don’t have the full answer for you. As I say at the top of the page: “More to come” on this issue, when I can get to it.
    In the meantime, use your common sense and caution.

  69. Justin Thyme Says:

    Hi Evan. About my page. I had kinda painted myself into a corner. A, I was in the BETA of Blogger & chose to leave the BETA version. B, I had too many files in DivShare & had begun to max my bandwidth. Needed to regroup.
    Have you really heard all 13 volumes of my Samba Showdowns? Pop me an email & I’ll gladly pass along the password.

  70. gravybread Says:

    Justin.
    Thanks for writing back. I’ll send my password soon. To be honest. I downloaded all the comps but have not had time to listen to more than perhaps two of them (there’s so much out there to grab and listen to and so little time, it seems). I like the same kind of Brazilian music that you do, so I obviously like the comps. _EG

  71. Mário Says:

    Evan,

    I really wanna thank you for all the effort you´ve been made to give us the best blog links,and also to link my blog…Needless to say that your clue is giving us more than 1000 visits a day !!!! That shows up all your energy and knowledge on this matter…Please,go ahead with your job,that continuesly gives us very helpful tips and joy of good stuff !!!
    Many thanks & hugs from Brazil !!!

    Mário - Speaker Mix

    PS: so happy to see that Justin returned back with his fantabulous space…Congrats,and long living for Justin’ Thyme !!!!!!
