The granddaddy of all music blogs, Pitchfork has a comprehensive online library of record reviews and top 50 lists of the past ten years. Check out their Forkcast for exclusive interviews.

The Rub is a renowned DJ crew that have been ruling the NYC party scene for years. Their blog, It's the Rub, shows that they’re not just your regular party machine, but true hip-hop aficionados.
