The site is both interesting and informative and offers may links to other music industry sites I would have never discovered without this site's help. I also found a couple more industry news sites, namely The Rock and Roll Report and Live Daily, that brought some unknown issues to my knowledge. It is astounding that there are about five or six of these news sites, if not more, and each one is discussing different topics. The music industry is constantly changing and evolving and many people are on the look out.

A Wild Goose Chase: Searching the Web for Concert Industry Connections
Recently I decided to scour the World Wide Web for substantial music industry sources, especially with a focus on the concert industry. Having been quite successful, I've decided to yet again search the web for ten more equally interesting and informative sources. The first time around, I focused on sources that industry buffs would look to for help but this time I've decided to look for opinions about the music industry, mainly through blogs. Once again using the IMSA and Webby Awards Criteria, I've decided to rate these links below. Of the new links, which I've posted to the right in my link roll, I found some very interesting blogs. The following blogs I found quite interesting and will surely being to follow the posts. Coolfer, Inside Music Media, Rolling Stone Blogs, You License, Moses Avalon and Future of Music are all fantastic blogs covering a wide range of issues in a concise manner. Each of the authors are currently or have been involved with the music industry for many years which seems to give them a leg up on insider's news. All of these blogs are aesthetically pleasing yet not to flashy to distract the reader from the information. Coolfer also posts current job openings which is something I have not seen on many other blogs. Of the blogs, Future Music Blog tends to post more about the technological aspect of the music industry which is very conducive to the concert industry as new technology can change everything in a heartbeat. Also, Moses Avalon has a great blog with current topics as well as a feature called Scam of the Month where he exposes a new music industry scam in hopes

To begin with, this post was very concise and had good organization while discussing your new sources, being mainly blogs. I was able to follow your websites on your link roll and match the descriptions pretty well. I was also very impressed in your discovery of such interesting and engaging material within the selected sources. They are similar in the abundance of material but differ enough to offer new perspectives. Moreover, the combination of news sites and blogs assist in a very rich database. I do, however, suggest possibly reviewing the language and making it a bit more elegant. There is some repetitive language and by slightly editing the post, I believe it will become even stronger than it already is. All in all, this post was very well written and I could only suggest those slight adjustments.
