There are a few mp3 blogs that stand out, but most just add noise to the signal, pushing the ratio over the top to the point of making the entire medium nearly moot. To this day, my friends turn me on to the hot shit. I only get news on the 'big' artists on my radar from the web... e.g. "Portishead has a new album? No way!"

And with the proliferation of Social Media out there it should make it a lot easier for artists to promote themselves and to connect with their fans.
