1.618: Fine Looking/Sounding Music Blog
There's a cheesy, commercial radio tagline that goes like this, "Less Talk, More Rock." It's been somewhat of a guiding principle at 3hive. Keep it short, sweet and get to the point: the music. Well there's a new blog in town and while they haven't beat us in the "More Rock" department, they're cleaning it up with way "Less Talk." Actually, there's no talk. They're mute.
Introducing 1.618 (google it for info on the geometry reference). They're a bunch of synaesthetes over there. "Each post on 1.618 features a song and an image to accompany the song, with the image being the only discernible form of criticism. No words will ever appear on 1.618 explaining how its selectors feel about it."
Definitely a refreshing take on this music blog business. And to prove that they're "effete members of the precious American underground" (their quote) check out a few of their music selections: Nina Simone, Super Furry Animals, Elf Power, David Bowie, The Clash, Broken Social Scene and My Bloody Valentine.
