About
WELCOME
Bloggerhythms is a totally independent music blog for adults
that grew out of my love of rock & roll and popular music. It began in
April 2005 as an outlet for album reviews of mostly new music. Gradually, over
time, it's focus has shifted toward older material but interesting new
releases will still be discussed. More about that
here.
ALMOST HITS
Almost Hits is an
occasional exploration into songs that failed to reach the top 20 on
the American Billboard Hot 100. Many have become classics despite what
their chart position would indicate. You can find all of the songs I've written about here.
LAST ALBUMS
In the majority of cases recording artists' most revered and
famous records are made early in their careers. Later, many of
them will "jump the shark" - as the saying goes - or recede into
the background as pop music tastes change. Unless you're a
diehard fan of a particular artist many listeners will not even
know what their final record is. I'm hoping to change that
with another once-in-awhile series called
Last Albums. To qualify, the album's tracks must have been recorded as
a set of new material that was intended to be released to the
public as a complete album but not necessarily the last
one. Live sets, greatest hits or "best of" collections and
compilations do not count, nor do posthumous releases of leftover
tracks cobbled together to make a final album.
BURIED TREASURE
This occasional series unearthed recorded treasures that
deserved a better fate and are no longer, or never were, part
of the public's collective consciousness. Be sure to check here or you'll never know what long lost gems this site's
archaeologists excavated from the dustbin of musical history.
This series has been discontinued because the majority of what
is currently posted on Bloggerhythms could fall into this
category.
BLOGROLL
One of my favorite things about Bloggerhythms is the
blogroll. I'm always looking for new blogs to add so I'm willing
to add yours if it's related in some way to the music covered
here. If you would like yours included please contact me.
Whenever you post something new your blog will jump to the top
of the list. However, I'll occasionally review the links and if
you do not post any new content for a long period of time your
blog could be removed. It can be found by clicking on the hamburger icon (the three horizontal lines) located at the
upper left hand corner of the home page.
REVIEW REQUESTS
It's possible - but not definite - that Bloggerhythms will
review your new album. Please read the rules on how to make
this happen on the Contact page and send your request there.
TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & SPOUTIBLE
Be sure to follow along at Twitter, Instagram and Spoutible where you'll be notified every time something new is posted here. While visiting those places, you'll also find some additional content not discussed on the blog. Spoutible is a very good place for people who are no longer enjoying X, formerly known as Twitter. Give it a try.

BROKEN LINKS & VIDEOS
I periodically search for dead links and videos to keep the subject
matter as interesting as possible. If you see something that needs to
be fixed please let me know.
