The Drums, Down By The Water

Things move fast around here. One minute, we’re a wee little family of nerdy music heads on a baby Tumblr, the next minute we’ve got thousands of new friends and we’re working in a blog community that’s growing like a weed.
Last summer, I wrote a list of who I thought was putting up the best music content on Tumblr. People email me all the time to ask me to add them to this list, and a bunch of those bloggers are now gone and off to greener pastures now, their blogs lay fallow.
I thought it high time to re-do the list. Freshen things up a little bit. Without further ado, here’s my updated (and, ain’t gonna lie, slightly biased) list of who’s posting the best music-related content on Tumblr*:

Music 2.0 Blogs
* I’m working on a ‘Best Musicians on Tumblr’ list, too. Let me know if you wanna be included in that one, its a work in progress.
Okay, I’m just one internet junkie bro among thousands. So here’s where you come in… Who am I missing?
Amazing list of music tumblogs.
Howlin’ Wolf, Spoonful
Dibiase, Lumberjack
Chris Cornell, Billy Jean (Michael Jackson cover)
Saw the first Soundgarden show in 13 years last night in Chicago. Chris Cornell still has the best pipes in the business.
Onra, High Hopes (feat. Reggie B)
Funky sexy goodness.
Kinky Notti, Ghetto Love
New school.
Sam Cooke, Laughin’ and Clownin’
Old School.
Arcade Fire, Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Been spending some time with the new album today. So pissed I’m missing Thursday’s show.
