Taking a survey

Where do you get your country music news online? Trying to figure out what, if any, decent country music web sites are out there.

Please list the Top 3 places you go to get news, and city/state or country.

Thanks!

the 9513 blog

And of course this site for the inside scoop!

Your blog; cmt.com; countrynow.com.

I used to like gactv.com when Neil Haislop had the information, but when they changed it so you had to click separate links to go to different stories, I stopped going there.

OMG -- I didn't realize CountryNow.com still existed! I used to go there years ago.

Thanks for the 9513 tip -- never been there, but I like what I've seen so far!

Keep 'em coming!

Ok, what am I doing wrong? I can't get anything other than the home page on CountryNow...

Yep, that's about it. :)

I do like 9513 occasionally.

Oh, and I'm in Champaign-Urbana, IL.

I follow a ton of them in Google Reader, but generally it's a bunch of duplicated stories and boring stuff. GAC, CMT, Country Music Is Love, Country On Demand, Nashville Gab. I do follow The 9513, but I tire of the snark quickly. I feel like their ratio of negative to positive reviews is a bit off. Nothing wrong with disliking some music, or having different taste than me. But if they already know they're going to dislike 90% of what they review, maybe they need to be reviewing different stuff..

I also read Country Aircheck for more industry-focused stuff. I actually find that to be the most valuable in terms of telling me about things I hadn't already heard elsewhere.

Finally, I have been hearing quite a bit of news on Twitter over the last few months. Usually by the time something ends up on one of those blogs, it's already been talked about on Twitter (or it's boring and I don't care anyway).

I think they changed how you can access the news at Countrynow.com by having it linked from radio station websites. The link I use is http://www.countrynow.com/cps/today.html?call=wctk

I have theboot.com and the 9513 blog in my favorites, but for some reason don't check them out except when I get linked there.

Paula said...

I forgot...I also miss countrynation.com and countrycool.com. :-)

sandi said...
