As most of you know, I post close to 100% music-related material on yvynyl. As such, I’ve subscribed to a plethora of similar blogs on the Tumblr platform and have built up a sizable list of folks who post excellent music and music-related art.
Unfortunately, the newish Tumblr Directory has not proven to serve as an efficient place to find new music blogs within the network (not sure how or why some people tag their blogs ‘music’ with a straight face). Also, since a great deal of Tumblr blogs are a wild mishmash of just about everything under the sun, I’m not including some great blogs that post about music only occasionally. All that being said, I’ve decided to create an ongoing directory of the best music-focused Tumblr blogs on my own. (Also coming soon - maybe? - a list of the best band blogs on Tumblr.)
