20 Jazz Funk Greats

Named after the Throbbing Gristle album, this blog regularly features mp3s of dark electro, coldwave, Tangerine Dream-esque ambient and the occasional krautrock jams.

The Lost Turntable

Remixes and B sides of more mainstream pop and rock acts, generally from the 1980s. Old school hip hop and early 1990s IDM is posted fairly often as well. Unfortunately, the links have expired on most of the older posts.

Blog to the Old Skool

Jungle and hardcore from 1991 to 1995.

The Cargo Culte

For some reason the most recent posts are just images. Nevertheless, check out the archives for post rock, dark ambient, metal, hard rock and punk.

Mostly house music from all eras but it's not uncommon to find cold synth gems and decent techno sets.

The following are more second tier music blogs. If one spends some time searching through them they can find some real gems.

Winnie Cooper

Vancouver based blog offers contemporary indie pop, synth pop and hip hop.

Waxidermy

Rare and forgotten records. Sortable by genre.

The Mod Pop Punk Archives

Extensive catalogue of Mod revival and early pop punk (think the Undertones or the Buzzcocks.)

Niccolo and Donkey

This is good stuff.

Kobresia

Excellent Youtube channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/synesthesiaefilms

I strongly recommend checking the music on this channel out. It has lots of artists that are making interesting and unorthodox music coupled with vintage film visuals. Easy way to keep on top of what's new and worth listening to in electronic music.
