Covert Curiosity, A Good Music Blog

If you don’t know by now, my “job” is recording and producing bands. I have made it a huge priority to try and use these social media tools we learn about in class to find more clients (bands) in the local Austin music scene. As I have been exploring the Austin music scene’s blogosphere it seems that Covert Curiosity is the leading blog voice about music. Based in Austin, Covert Curiosity does a great job at providing an entertaining music related blog. Not only do they update their blog daily but they provide their audience with a look at unknown bands around the world with mp3 samples and intellectual insights about music. They also have tons of links to other blogs and a calendar highlighting some of the great shows to see in Austin.

The only thing I wish they would do more, is blog more, about local bands. I imagine their interested in having a larger fan base than just Austin, so that is hopefully why they don’t spend enough time on the scene. But for someone who knows that there is an abundance of great music in Austin, it would be nice for someone to inform the public about bands other than the Austin Chronicle.

But all in all, it is a good blog and I recommend it and it’s “ad free” too. Also I recommend checking out our fellow communication major friend Ian Morales’ blog, Ian’s Music Blog. Ian is honest and has a great love for music.
