Some restraint could be exercised. I started my own (www.goodrecordsnyc.com) and yet I'm very conflicted.
I plan to put most of my emphasis on mixes rather than full albums, and there are A LOT of records I own that I would never put up on my blog. A lot of guys treat it like some kind of rarity-based wankfest of oneupsmanship and I'm not feeling that.

I appreciate music sharing blogs but putting an entire album up to be leeched is BS.Rather just give a few tracks up. Music sharing blogs gives the listener the oppportunity to hear that raer piece that is hard to obtain. I had raer stuff on my Ipod for most of last year & I'm still committed to owning original copies of those records I downloaded.
I think in the case of good albums its appropriate to post 1 track, and if it's what you like then you can try to track it down.
If it's stupid rare, then hell, just post the album. I'm a freelance designer/artist living in Australia... alot of this shit i'm never going to see "in the field" and never going to be able to win on ebay.
to be honest I could care less if someone shares a single song or a full album. Just being able to hear something I was curious about makes me happy. Getting a full album is just icing on the cake.

Hey just listening to your Impalaville mix now, really likin it.
I am bad at keeping music secret, though. When I find some unknown shit that I think is ill, I always want to share it, if only to learn some more info about it if I can.
The blogs where the sole purpose is to download whole albums are pretty gay. For the most part these dudes aren't sharing music they actually own or even sharing their own thoughts about it. It is just an MP3 grip-fest. Fuck that.
The attempts at reviews more often than not annoy me. I just want long lists of download links to rare albums divided by genre, selected by people with unassailable taste.
For people like me who will always buy the original LP and not be satisfied with the MP3 it's perfect. Great way to sort out the turds from my wantlist (inside my private garden). The more of an album I'm able to hear, the more it helps me with my purchase decision.

and you are assured never to drop hard earned cake on weird records that suck
I generally avoid music blogs. Sure, I've downloaded some songs here and there, but the idea that everything is so easily available all the time to anyone has taken a lot of fun out of finding new stuff yourself[/b]. Besides, weak ass Microwave DJ's playing stuff they downloaded from some blog with no intention of buying the actual record get the gasface from me.

now someone on here list a few so I can check them out. Most I've discovered I forgot to add to my bookmark favorite site folder.

music blogs are great, i always wanted to start one.
care to explain your feelings on this? genuinely curious.
Now if all the Microwave DJs would exercise some restraint on file swapping then we wouldn't have the current glut of cats all playing the same shit.

ahhh...so you prefer the imperfections of vinyl over the cleanliness of digital? That I can get with.
pretty much sums up my feelings
By the "KL" tags, I assumed he meant it's better
to offer a low-quality Real Audio file of a song
than a 320kbps MP3 ... ?
I am bad at keeping music secret, though.
When I find some unknown shit that I think
is ill, I always want to share it, if only
to learn some more info about it if I can.
please to elaborate on the gay concept of music downloading.
Downloading music will make you gay... and sterile.
