Where The Music Blogosphere Comes Alive!

Star-studded may be the wrong term, but this week's show certainly features some blog heavyweights, including Chromewaves (Toronto), Music Like Dirt (London), and Cable & Tweed (Athens, GA). Plus, top up-and-comers Mr. Mammoth (New York, NY) and Sonic Itch Music (Austin, TX). It's like the music blog equivalent of a Sweeps Week episode of 'Friends.'

We've got lots of great music on the show, too, with something for everyone. From English dance and Glaswegian rock, to southern supergroups and indie hip-hop. What, no Canadians? Oh yes, we've got Wolf Parade too. And we even sneak in a dash of vintage Jamaican ska!

Plus, just in case you've been out of the loop this week, we run down the 10 most buzzed-about bands on our official yet always-fun Blog Fresh Chart (as seen, and regularly debated now, over on Rollingstone.com). Yep, that's what we call a show! Hope you enjoy it...
