The Chronic Music blog has been going strong since January of 2008. One of the first things you will notice upon visiting the blog is the simple, yet stylish three-column layout, which features a number of different navigational options and interesting links to choose from. The thing I love the most about this blog is that it is truly eclectic, offering up everything from acid jazz to melodic death metal. I love exploring the tag clouds on eclectic blogs such as this, as they tend to be a invaluable resource, either for broadening my knowledge of genres and artists that I know very little about, or introducing me to those that I am completely unaware of.
It is evident that a great deal of time has been spent perfecting this blog. Several modifications have been made in order to provide a variety of methods for navigation. Dropdown menus replace the traditional archived posts and labels lists, and as I mentioned above, he has also added a tag cloud for labels. Chronic Music also provides more information than the average blog about the content being posted.
In addition to the great write-ups, you will also find links to the artists' official sites, wikipedia entries, discogs page, a preview track, and links to several different sites where you can buy the album. He also uses one of my favorite file hosting solutions, Sharebee. One thing is certain, the Chronic Music blog certainly believes in offering a broad range of choices to it's visitors.
The administrator, Foehammer, happens to be a very friendly guy also. He is one of the few visitors here who is kind enough to regularly leave feedback, and often comments simply to wish us well on a holiday. In fact, I have considered adding a comment box in the sidebar once again simply because I miss his presence on it. If you are eager to discover another great music blog, pay Foehammer a visit, and be sure to thank him for the amazing job that he does running Chronic Music.
