Groovemine.com just published part two of a three-part series where we've interviewed the people behind nine of our favorite music blogs.
part one: http://www.groovemine.com/article_listeningtotheblogs part two: http://www.groovemine.com/article_listeningtotheblogs2
There are several reasons why we, at Groovemine, find the music blogosphere so compelling: the sheer number of blogs operating independently of larger entities, the amount of content they generate, the design and production values some of them present, and the influence they have on the music scene are among them. The fact that most of the blogs generate little or no income for their producers make the phenomena all the more interesting. Thus, we felt this passionate occupation of blogging was worth a closer look and we discussed it with the people behind nine of our favorite music blogs.
So far the discussion has been shaped by the following questions:
>> What was your writing/professional experience prior to starting your blog? Since? >> Why do you blog vs. usually facebook or other social media? >> Do you consult with someone on the web dev and design or do you handle this yourself? >> What role do you think you serve in the larger picture of the music scene? How does this make you feel? >> How are you involved directly with artists, labels, etc.? >> What are some of the more surprising moments related to a post and the reaction it generated? Most satisfying?
In the final installment, we'll ask:
>> What is your policy concerning streaming/downloads? How does this mesh with what you understand about copyright law? >> What do you attribute to your success in terms of growth of readership? >> In a perfect world, where do you see your blog in ten years? What is your blog trying to achieve?
