This is Blogcore

Some of my fellow bloggers are doing some very good work over in their corners of the web, so I thought I'd point you in their direction:

Whatevs.org: Ol' Uncle Grambo is a blogging legend. In fact, it was Whatevs.org that led me to create my first site, "Glamorama". While Grambo and I might differ on pop culture (I once claimed that he had taken "time off from sipping lattes and bopping along to Kelly Clarkson on his iPod to stab me in the back" in the midst of a Stellastarr* debate), Grambo has always run his site for the right reasons. Plus, with the exception of Amanda Bynes, he has pretty good taste in women.

Recordreviews.org: Run by The Gorilla, who has such a storied past on the web that it's hard to recount everything here, this is a site that pretty much does what it says on the can: records are reviewed the week they come out. Yes, they make hilarious use of Google Image Search, but otherwise they play it straight. Gorilla has even got the legendary Peabs to review albums. Check out his "Neon Bible" review: it's a fine counterpoint to my take on the record.

Information Leaf Blower: The Leaf and I got in touch because we've always had similar interests. Whereas I've always written about Britrock and books, for the Leaf it's Britrock and sports. He also deserves points for consistency. There's not one week that's gone by where he hasn't posted a youtube video of The Jam, a wrap-up of a Celtics game, or a picture of his cat. Check it out.
