Guest Backson Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 i'm looking for one. i find myself browsing Pitchfork to get my news. I don't hate it like some, but i don't like indie or mainstream hip hop so its not really good for me. I just want a site that has news and reviews on a broad range of electronic music, and other music as long as its not 90% "sunny indie pop".

onecaseman Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Don't mean to pimp my own site, but that's exactly why I started The Music Lobby. We only review music we like. Lots of different styles of music, but definitely a lot of electronic stuff. News we don't really do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Makinami Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 All mags review the same albums over and over, so it's kinda pointless. I prefer the Boomkat newsletter for discovering music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 We only review music we like. good on you! i'm actually a bit sick of hearing negative opinions. my ideal review should simply indicate the successful elements of a work, and indicate who would enjoy it, because i can figure out for myself if I don't like something. by the way, your site is my favourite so far.

Guest mrguy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Tbh, I don't mind whether or not if a review is positive/negative. What I do like is when at least some of the review takes a step back and just describes the album from a neutral perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grizz Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Resident Advisor & The Milk Factory are pretty much all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 nowadays, downloading a record is quicker than reading its review..so this reviewing business kinda loses one of its primary purposes. be your own internet music reviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a bit of opinion in finding new and in music, and with a touch of journalistic charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 well i think it is curious reading what others think about records you like or dislike, but no way should someone's review prevent your from giving a chance to a particular record, it just makes no sense with fast internets. although i admit i don't really act upon this ideal myself most of the time..

remy marathe Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 i agree that review sites don't have much relevance anymore. with things like last fm and forums like this, i really don't need to wade through a review site when i can access music immediately. i also enjoy discovering stuff and forming opinions on my own, and that's easier to do now than it ever was.
