Other decent Webzines???

Apart from the DiS site what other internet music reviewing sites float your boat?

Crud Fanzie has a decent layout with decent enough reviews in.

Rock Feedback has a crap layout with good reviews in, the reviews are a bit formula-esque...if you know what I mean?

No Ripcord is a decent small one. Top notch reviews, but updated rarely.

About The Music has good content. However, it looks shocking.

SoundsXP is funny and also has very good reviews. Rather inconsistent and with a eyesore of a layout though.

TooManyDJs is plain crap.

Miuzik is a bit dull, but Julia Vergho write for them :)

So, who is DiS main rival in the internet reviewing world...mainly indie zines.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

Playlouder... Iain Moffatt rules my tiny world!!!

Re: Other decent Webzines???

The sad thing is I wrote for 5 of those you mentioned. Miuzik.com send me the most CD's, so I guess they are the best.
Personally, I love Bleedmusic (www.geekrock.com/bleedmusic). They so good they won't take my reviews.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

miuzik's the bitch (in the good sense). playlouder's cool too but that mofo confuses me.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

splendid e-zine, music 4 autobahns, action attack helicopter.

that's what i'll say.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

I like the brain farm very much (www.thebrainfarm.cjb.net). the reviews are well written and some of the writers have massive egos. at the moment they're looking for a new editor cos the man in charge is moving to kentucky or something. they have monkeys.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

i like the brain farm too.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

"a small one with top notch reivews - updated rarely"

cheers for that - it's kind of being updated at least once a week at the moment by the way this is quite regular for me so enjoy it while it lasts - www.noripcord.co.uk

Re: Other decent Webzines???

Oh yeah the brain farm... i know them. Jon and Charlotte anyway. And the other guy I keep meeting at parties (well.. maybe 3 of them anyway)... nice enough small outfit

Re: Other decent Webzines???

Hey! I Loved DSP, shame it went down for a bit. What was the reason?

The content was really good.

Re: Other decent Webzines???

Oh shucks. Thanks for being a DSP fan. :)

Yeah it kind of went a bit pearshaped. I got a bit of criticism on the layout and design which knocked my confidence a lil bit. Plus its difficult to manage all by my lonesome so I decided to give dSp I good makeover and redesign.
it will be back tho pencil us in for 19/08/02

Also looking for some people to write for DSP too. anyone interested drop me a line at dosomethingpretty@hotmail.com
