My Old Kentucky Blog Presents: LaundroMatinee

My Old Kentucky Blog founder, Craig “Dodge” Lile, has launched a new site featuring exclusive performances from groups such as Dr Dog, The Spinto Band and Bon Iver.

After recording audio from more than 80 performances at Pendleton Heights High School, Dodge and high school radio station general manager and teacher, Jeff DuPont, with the video expertise of Tim Wilsbach began recording both audio and video. A few weeks back, they started making it available via LaundroMatinee.com. It has a very personal feel to it and is definitely worth checking out. Their Bon Iver session can be seen here.

Bloggers Dumping Blogspot

Over the past week, music bloggers using Google’s Blogger.com have been complaining that their posts are being removed without their consent. While Blogger allows users to quickly toss up a site, seasoned writers often graduate to a more robust software package such WordPress.

It seems as though this recent censorship is convincing more and more Blogger users to jump ship. This week, veteran music bloggers, Quick Before it Melts and The Music Slut have made the jump, not only to WordPress, but to their own domain names. (congrats to them)

With Blogger removing more and more posts daily, how long will it be before more music (and other) blogs move to WordPress? If you have a story about Google censoring your posts, leave it in the comments.
