it feels like there are so many fewer spaces for editorializing around music than there were in the days of mp3 blogs. maybe i'm just not looking in the right places?

p.s. thanks for the links upthread i.e. Soul Sides - maybe there's still tons there, just harder to find maybe

Yes and Heat Rocks is a lot of fun.

surprised nobody has mentioned Prog Not Frog

Blogs whose names are lost in the murk is pretty much where I'm at with most of them that I used to visit, though. For some reason ProgNotFrog sticks out in my memory, though I doubt I spent all that much time there.

A bit of a long shot here, but does anyone know of any of these blogs that specializes, or even just occasionally posts out-of-print Rhino comps and things like that?

Some circuitous route led me back to the excellent Blogariddims series that came out in what I reckon was the late 00s. The ones I remember were Woebot's jazz one (gateway to Gil Evans iirc) and the Grievous Angel one. The blog posts have vanished from what I can make out, but the mixes are preserved on Mixcloud.

I can't find it now, but one that I liked for weird/psychedelic folk was called I think Babelblogue or something like that.
I know of a couple blogs like this that are still going.
https://www.fondsound.com/ is great for 90's new age / jazz / pop stuff from Asia.
https://www.listentothis.info/ is really in that classic music blog mode where you're getting one person's favorite obscure records along whatever genres they happen to like. Not as active these days but I think most of the links still work.

ZippyShare went down in the last couple of weeks :(

tbh I'm pleased about that because you had to use a VPN to access it and it was annoying
