Open Up Your Heart And You Will Understand Me


I first heard about the term
Blog House on Hipster Runoff. Please watch the Current TV video below (or go HERE if you can't view Flash!)... they use it to explain how the (for lack of a better word) "genre" came about:
In addition to listing artists and weighing-in on whether or not they qualify as Blog House, Carles from Hipster Runoff also asked the "burning question:" JUST BC U PARTICIPATE IN THE REMIX ECONOMY, ARE YOU BLOG HOUSE? He then ended his rant with a poignant paragraph:
Anyways, BLOGS are great for finding new music, and reading the opinions of people who don't even matter (just like U!). Love all yall blogs, whether or not yall are creating blog house bands or not. Just as long as the music is free, and the content stream is consistent, that's all any1 rlly wants. Whether it is on the radio or on some sillie internet site or even inside of your local RCRD Store, we are all just trying to meet the needs of consumers. Good thing blogs don't write 2 much and appeal to the attention span of Generation Y. Love yall for buying so much stuff and being a demographic that advertisers want 2 reach.
His post (and Stereogum's, and Smoking Section's) sent my mind tumbling down a rabbit hole of music evolution. If Blog House can exist, then other hybrid genres of music must also be growing in the blogosphere's Garden of Eden. For example...

If there is Blog House,
isn't there also Blog Hip Hop?

I think so. And because these genres have already started merging, the post-structuralist nerd in me can't wait to see what happens to "formats" in the music industry. Let's hope for category Armageddon, shall we?



He's indie with mainstream support, but his music is shared and remixed on blogs, so Kid Cudi might be an example of Blog Hip Hop.

I just checked out his mixtape release party for A Kid Named Cudi tonight, and had a blast with Jen and Alex :) It's really dark, but here's Cudi performing "Day N Nite"


Photos from the event:





Blog Hip Hop aside, one of my favorite finds (admittedly, more mainstream than not) out of what I would consider the Blog House era is Hercules and Love Affair.

Their video for "Blind" has been around for awhile:


Also fiery is their song and video for "You Belong":
