Review

The blog I am reviewing is called open your eyes to music. This blog is about the Sydney music scene. It tells people what going on and when it’s happening. The main thing that the blog is talking about right now is the Sydney song summit. In this it talks about all of the people that will be performing, what are they performing, were and what times. This blog also discuses bands their stories and their songs.

One thing that I like about this blog is that it tells the stories of bands quite well. One band it tells the story of is the beach boys. It starts of talking about their roaring days of success with surf music in the late 1950’s, and then goes to explain what happed to them and why. Under the title “the early days,” one can see the blogger talking about the surfing days “the Beach Boy’s tale that will never be forgotten is their surfer music.” Later on in the post it talks about their fall, “Their efforts to use their position, at the helm of popular music, to steer listeners into new direction.... it’s safe to say they failed.” This post talks about everything one needs to understand the beach boy’s story. This is done very well and this is something I like about this blog very much.

Another thing I like about this blog is that it tells you very clearly what’s happening at the Sydney song summit. It lists very clearly who is playing and when, it also provides a link to the official website for the event.  One can see a list of who is playing at the song summit at the top of the blog, “Dan Kelly, Artisan Guns, The Last Kinection and many more. You can also see what time people are playing at, at the bottom of the first post. “Dead letter Chorus, Home Nightclub, Darling Harbour form 7:30,” this is just one example. All up this blog shows what’s happening at the Sydney song summit very well.

After looking at this blog, and the way it talks about what is happening, and stories of bands. I think this is very good and would recommend this as a music blog.
