Blogcritics.org Brings It With Burt Bacharach, Blistering Music News, Bracing Music Reviews, and Bal

Music has always been at the core of online magazine Blogcritics.org, the sinister cabal of more than 1,100 superior bloggers who find the time – when not writing about the local skate punk band they saw in town or the latest hip hop release to blingfully rupture the earth's core – to also get around to waxing off on movies, books, politics, TV, and pop culture reviews, news, and opinions.

Every day, over a dozen music articles get filed and added to the overall vault of 37,000 pieces dating back to 2002, when John Scalzi inaugurated Blogcritics.org with his take on a band called Dorman. Today, freshly minted Music Editor Connie Phillips presides over an award-winning (Bloggie – Best Weblog About Music) and thriving kingdom of rabidly commenting music fans and music reviews, opinions, and a unique spin on breaking news that you just won't find anywhere else.

Testify to the following for cutting edge flavor from the molecular pulsating neurons of the Internet right to your computer (and it's free, which doesn't hurt):

* Blogcritics.org publisher Eric Olsen rolls out a Burt Bacharach interview ahead of the pop sophisticate's worldwide Internet performance on November 18th.
* White Stripes Nation Manifesto, wherein self-proclaimed "rightwing nutjob" and sometimes Senate candidate Al Barger calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government in favor of a military junta led by Jack White of The White Stripes. Fortunately, Blogcritics editor Alisha Karabinus is on hand to provide the voice of sweet democratic reason… and to feed Al his meds.
* Get the week going with uao's Sunday Morning Playlist, which currently looks at the Top 25 Women in Rock, including Patti Smith and The Pretenders.
* Bjork graces the current edition of Mark Saleski's long running Friday Morning Listen, which polishes off the week in high style.
* Don't miss out on the latest from Katharine Donelson's Daily Music and Tech News, from cell phone jingle jangling to Madonna's Euro-tour de force.

If it's music, Blogcritics.org maintains both a state of being down with it and yet clearly and consistently knows what's up. Blogcritics.org members have access to a vast array of review materials, including CDs, concert tickets, DVDs, books, and film screenings. Those who wish to get the jump on what's going on in the music world are therefore well advised to check in and join the conversation with the BC early and often.

About Blogcritics.org

Blogcritics.org is a new kind of online magazine, an interactive community in which writers and readers from around the globe talk about stories, issues, and products.

Blogcritics.org was founded by Eric Olsen, who has enjoyed a 25-year career in writing and broadcasting on a vast array of topics including politics, music, and media. Co-owner Phillip Winn built Blogcritics.org, nearly from scratch, and continues to manage the technical and design elements of the site.

Blogcritics.org Music Editor Connie Phillips balances her writing and editing duties with raising two children and working on The Novel. Her love of the written word is only exceeded by her love of music, as she is rarely seen without her iPod, which runs the gamut from classical to metal, pop to jazz, with some country and rap thrown in for good measure.

Blogcritics.org is an official Google News and My Yahoo! source, syndicates content to online editions of newspapers around the United States via the Advance family of websites, and has won numerous awards, including a Bloggie for best music site, Forbes.com's Best Media Blogs, and was recently showcased on the prestigious AlwaysOn and Technorati "Open Media 100" list.
