Does anybody know of any good ones?

I currently frequent Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers, which is excellent. But I'd like to know if there are any more. All of the other ones I've found seem to be foreign and therefore difficult to navigate.

If you've never seen this sort of thing before, it's excellent. Basically a guy uploads albums to free hosting services and posts the link on the blog. Then people vote on how good they are. Also, you tend to find bands you wouldn't normally because the guy seems to have an interesting and eclectic taste in music.
not a blog at all but it seems a good place to post this.

very nice interactive internet radio thing, dead colourful and that and will play you nice random songs.
All you kids into the 'hip-hop' might want a looky-look at this which has some decent discographys:

I'm just finding that if I'm looking for something these days I'll google it and add 'blogspot' on the end and it'll take me somewhere interesting.

Anyone into rap will probably frequent rapgodfathers forum.
Oh, man. So many I could mention, but are a few of my favourites.

Red Threat - A splendid source of new electronic musics that I probably wouldn't find anywhere else.
My Blog Too - Contains a lot of interesting hard-to-find oddities. If you're looking for that elusive Ringo Starr live bootleg, it might just be here. It does seem to have gone a bit Duffy crazy latterly.
Indie Flames - from Alone At 3am to YMCK, it's all here. A great source for music you didn't realise you liked.
7 and 12 inch Massacre - All those CD singles you wish you'd picked up when you were in Our Price in the 1990s.
Burning The Ground - 1980s and 1990s remixes galore. Includes an essential French version of PSBs' New York City Boy (renamed, of course, Paris City Boy).
Secret Music Box - All codes of electronica catered for.
Twisted Perceptions - Japanese Psychedelic Music? Peruvian Underground '64-74? Turkish Beat, Psych and Garage? Oh yes.
Different Is Dangerous - Unofficial remixes, mash-ups, and collections of pop classics. Brilliant stuff.

If you've got any taste in music at all, there's a whole week's worth of listening pleasure in those links just up there.
