We hope that your Thanksgiving was filled with love, laughter, and more food than you could possibly fit on one plate.
There’s been a lot going on in the music blogging world this week, so we thought today would be a great day to fill your minds and iPods with some words and music from a few of our favorite sites… and speaking of our favorite sites, congratulations to Daytrotter and NYCTaper for making PC Magazine’s Top 50 Blogs of 2009 list!
Enjoy the links and the rest of your weekend! Before you go, make sure to grab our Black Friday playlist [...]
It’s that time again… time for some linkage. Today we’re pointing you to 68 excellent music sites that we here at TheFrontloader.com dig on thru Twitter. I know what you’re thinking… “Swap, SIXTY-EIGHT sites is a bit a lot, ain’t it?” and you know what? You might have a point if you think that 68 is a big number… but I bet you wouldn’t think it a big number if… say, you scored a 68 on a test… or if you had 68 pennies… or if you had 68 bowel movements TOTAL in your life.
So you see? 68 is NOT that big of a number. [...]
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks with classes starting up again, but I’m never too busy to see what my friends and fellow bloggers are listening to and sharing with their readers out on the ol’ internets. It’s funny… seems that the busier school gets, the more I post here. Maybe that’s because in the midst of all the covalent bonds and nosocomial nonsense, I need something to bring me back to where it all starts with me… which is music.
A friend once told me that “music is life.” I can honestly say that OXYGEN is life, but music comes at a close second. [...]
We’re always finding great articles, blog posts, and music out on the web, and so once again we wanted to share with you some of what caught our eye in the last few days with our The Most Important Music Links EVER On The Web (right now) list. Check out all the great sites below, grab some cool music, leave a comment or two, and tell ‘em Swap sent you.
Addicted to Vinyl has the second mix tape in their Monday Morning Mix series posted and available for download. The “Halfway To The Distant Sun” mix includes 14 songs [...]

Twittering has become an interesting daily experience for me. The more I check in there, the more I find that there are so many great people, great sites, and great networks available for people to connect with each other. There are times when I find it a bit overwhelming, and at times I find it a mess, but for the most part its simplicity is its strength.
When I first came across Twitter, I thought it was just the same as Facebook’s “wall” section… until I realized [...]
Before we dive into today’s list of the Most Important Links You Will EVER Find on the Web (for now), we wanted to remind you about our SOTU CD Giveaway, where we’re giving away TWO copies of Depeche Mode’s new album, Sounds of the Universe! All you need to do to enter is leave a comment here with your favorite Depeche Mode song, moment, or memory.
That’s it! Easy, right? And while you’re there, make sure to grab a great DM bootleg from 1998.
Now, on to our list… [...]
We’re only halfway through the week, but already there’s been a LOT going on in the world of music this week.
We’ve tried to keep you posted on as much as possible, but no matter how hard we try, we just can’t cover it all. So here are the most important links you will EVER find on the web (right now). [...]
If you missed any of our posts this week, make sure to hit up the Archives and get yourself caught up. We had a very busy week here at TheFrontloader.com… we posted a great Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds bootleg, cover versions of The Cure’s popular song, “Just Like Heaven”, new music and videos from U2, Cursive, Pete Yorn, The Safes, Vetiver, St. Vincent, The Dead Weather… and more.
Yes, music, videos, and even Sherman Bear’s thoughts on the infamous Octo-mom [...]
Well, it’s that time again to comb the Internet and see what’s good out there. Yes, it’s hard to believe, but there is actually more to the Internet than TheFrontloader.com. I know you’re sitting there, screaming out “That’s not true… that’s impossible!!!!” the way Luke Skywalker did in Cloud City, but it’s a fact… the world does NOT start and stop here. Oh, it’ll orbit around us about a gazillion times before moving on, just to prove that we are really frikkin’ close to the center of the universe, but [...]
Even though we here at TheFrontloader.com try to cover it all, we know that it’s virtually impossible to do so.
Here are some links from around the web that you definitely want to know about. If you’re always on the lookout for new music (like we are), make sure you catch some of these downloads before they disappear [...]
