About
WELCOME
Bloggerhythms is a totally independent music blog for adults that
grew out of my love of rock & roll and popular music. It began in April
2005 as an outlet for album reviews of mostly new music. Gradually, over
time, it's focus has shifted toward older material but interesting new
releases will still be discussed. More about that
here.
ALMOST HITS
Almost Hits is an
occasional exploration into songs that failed to reach the top 20 on
the American Billboard Hot 100. Many have become classics despite
what their chart position would indicate. You can find all of the
songs I've written about here.
LAST ALBUMS
In the majority of cases recording artists' most revered and
famous records are made early in their careers. Later, many of
them will "jump the shark" - as the saying goes - or recede
into the background as pop music tastes change. Unless you're
a diehard fan of a particular artist many listeners will not
even know what their final record is. I'm hoping to change
that with another once-in-awhile series called
Last Albums. To qualify, the album's tracks must have been recorded
as a set of new material that was intended to be released to the
public as a complete album but not necessarily the last
one. Live sets, greatest hits or "best of" collections and
compilations do not count, nor do posthumous releases of
leftover tracks cobbled together to make a final album.
BURIED TREASURE
This occasional series unearthed recorded treasures that
deserved a better fate and are no longer, or never were,
part of the public's collective consciousness. Be sure to
check here or you'll never know what long lost gems this site's
archaeologists excavated from the dustbin of musical
history. This series has been discontinued because the
majority of what is currently posted on Bloggerhythms
could fall into this category.
BLOGROLL
One of my favorite things about Bloggerhythms is the
blogroll. It exists mostly for my benefit to keep track
of blogs I read regularly, but while perusing it you may discover some music worthy of your attention.
If your blog is related in some way to music
I write about I'm willing to add yours to the list. If interested, please
contact me. Whenever you post something new your blog will
jump to the top of the list. However, in order to keep this blog relevant I'll occasionally
review the links, and if you do not post any new content for
a long period of time your blog could be
removed. You can find the blogroll by clicking on the hamburger icon (the three horizontal lines) located at
the upper left hand corner of the home page.
REVIEW REQUESTS
It's possible - but not definite - that
Bloggerhythms will review your new album. Please read
the rules on how to make this happen on the
Contact
page and send your request there.
TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & SPOUTIBLE
Be sure to follow along at Twitter, Instagram and
Spoutible
where you'll be notified every time something new is posted
here. While visiting those places, you'll also find some
additional content not discussed on the blog. Spoutible is a very good place for people who are no
longer enjoying X, formerly known as Twitter. Give it a
try.
BROKEN LINKS & VIDEOS
I periodically search for dead links and videos to keep the subject
matter as interesting as possible. If you see something that needs
to be fixed please let me know.
