Best Musician + Label Tumblr Blogs

Last week, I posted my new list of ‘Best Music Tumblr Blogs’, but I figured that ‘Blogs about Music’ are a little different than ‘Musicians who Blog’. Artists blog for all types of reasons (bravo!), and while some of them stick to primarily self-promotion and news, some do more of the ‘scene’ branding for themselves and their friends, others don’t blog about anything other than random ephemera.

This list is admitedly short. I know there are hundreds, if not thousands of bands using Tumblr as a sweet and simple blogsite. I’ve posted links to tons, and have followed tons. Thing is, some post ten times daily while others lie dormant for a month or more at a time. Its hard to remember who’s all out there. Likely that I’ll keep adding lots more to this list. Lemme know if I’m missing yours by tweeting a link @yvynyl.

I figured some element of curation was in order. While I’ll friend up just about anyone on the myspaces, I don’t want my Tumblrstream full of crap (do you?). That said, I’ll keep this list in tip-top shape of only my favorite artists and those up and comers doing good work. These are blogs by the artists themselves (as far as I can tell), and not fan-made sites. Please don’t recommend “Fuck Yeah [band]!” sites. Thx.

Lastly, you’ll see a list of a few record labels that I dig using el tumblrero. You know, ‘cuz they shouldn’t be left out!
