Fluxblog




Fluxblog is known as the original mp3 blog, with its roots tracing back to 2002, a time before a music blogosphere existed. It consists solely of a single song followed by a positive editorial response to the song and the artist. These responses are very descriptive of the sonic and aesthetic qualities of the song and artist. Each song post is linked to a site to purchase the song and/or album, again a way of monetarily promoting artists.

There is a donation section on the right side of the page, operated through PayPal. There are also Fluxblog t-shirts for sale to the same vein of supporting the blog financially. The blog also has its own podcast and various exclusive videos, mostly of performances.

A short philosophy from the blog:

"Fluxblog is the very first MP3 Blog. It was founded by me, Matthew Perpetua, in 2002. You can subscribe to the RSS feed here, and peruse the FluxBlogRoll here.

Note: MP3s are only offered for a limited time and are changed frequently. Please buy the records from the artist if you like what you hear."
