Follow Music Bloggers on Twitter

While Elbows can be an easy way to get all of your music news in one convenient location, some people may appreciate up to the minute tips, notes and news. For this, we turn to Twitter.

This is, of course, not a complete list. If your favorite blog is not listed, check their site or search for them on Twitter. If you’re a blogger and not listed, post in the comments and I’ll try to update accordingly.

Roundup: Music Bloggers Get Out The Vote

Tomorrow is election day in the US and bloggers are urging people to find their local voting locations in order to cast their ballots.

Here are some posts from around the music blogosphere:
