My boss asked me to point her toward some good music blogs and podcasts, which I finally did this morning. I’m cross-pollinating here. 

My favorite music blogs are:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/
http://allthingsgo.wordpress.com/

I read these a little less frequently, but they’re also great:
http://depts.washington.edu/kexp/blog/
http://www.npr.org/music/blogs/
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/

Zach at ATG has some good ones in his blogroll that I skim every now and then, but they’re a little more obscure and fit a narrower niche.

I religiously listen to Sound Opinions on Chicago Public Radio, and All Songs Considered on NPR.  I anxiously anticipate every new episode.  Seriously.  It’s kind of lame.

There are some great shows linked from the KEXP Site:

Also, NPR, KEXP, Salon, and a bunch of others produce Song of the Day podcasts that are good. 

That’s it for now!  Let me know if you have any thoughts or other recommendations.
