I know this question has been asked here before, however, many of the links are now dead, the blogs have become "members only" or the shares are no longer available. Please share your favorites, all genres accepted!
I listen to everything. I'm looking for specialty music blogs that share out of print, oddball and strange things. My tastes are eclectic but I especially enjoy: funk, rock, vintage disco, station IDs, commercials, children's records, celebrity albums and that sort of stuff.
For example, I love the content of these sites but they are no longer running.

I'd also love to join your 'super-secret music blogs' and I have lots of fun things to contribute. Thanks in advance!

Best answer: Easy and Wonderful
Willard's Wormholes -- the vinyl rips of the 60s and 70s Warner Bros. "loss leader" collections are especially awesome
Rotten Young Earth -- punk, hardcore, metal, etc
I find that Googling an artist or genre and adding "mp3 blogspot" to the end of the search usually leads to some pretty cool places

A friend of mine writes "Zero to 180 - Three Minute Magic". Lots of interesting posts; he styles himself as a pop music archeologist.

In case it didn't turn up in your search of older questions I asked one 3 months ago looking for music mixes. Some of the answers turned up stuff in the obscure music blog vein, like Caribbean Jazz 1954-1957, that sort of thing, but really good stuff.
