Unfortunately another one of the best blogs out there, the original Lost In Tyme blog, was recently deleted. Despite the fact that the majority (if not all) of the albums shared there are out of print, their blog was removed for violating the TOS. At the moment they are currently searching for new host for their blog, but the url below will serve as a temporary replacement. All news concerning the fate of Lost In Tyme will be posted there. They have also come up with a great idea called the '100 Mirrors Project' to ensure that this doesn't happen again. If you would like to help them out, simply visit their page and read the post concerning the 100 Mirrors Project. All of the details are posted there. It's great to see bloggers uniting to save one another. Hopefully we'll see more of this in the future and put an end to to the foolish deletions of blogs which material that is out of print or otherwise unavailable.

News From the Music Blogsphere - New Link For Floodlit Footprint & Bolachas Gratis
I wanted to inform you all that a couple of popular blogs have recently had a change of address. Unfortunately blogger deleted their accounts, but fortunately for us, that hasn't stopped them from calling it quits. Floodlit Footprint is back up at a Turkish blog host, and Bolachas Gratis have since moved on to wordpress. You can find their respective blogs below:
Floodlit Footprint: http://floodlitfootprint.blogcu.com/
Bolachas Gratis: http://bolachasgratis.wordpress.com/

Criteria For Being Listed - Please Read Before Submitting Your Blog
This blogroll has grown much larger than I ever could have anticipated. In order to ensure the overall quality of the blogroll, I'm going to require that certain criteria are met before blogs make it in the list. Please read over these requirements before requesting that I add your blog to the list.
If your blog fails to the criteria, do not fret. There are plenty of other great aggregators and blog lists, which I'm sure would be more than happy to list you, and conveniently enough, you can find them right here.
- Blogs which focus only on currently released material will not be listed. I'm interested in listing blogs which feature rare or out of print material. Anything released within the last couple of years certainly couldn't be considered rare, and more than likely can still be easily obtained. Blogs which primarily share mixes, podcasts, compilations, and unsigned artists are the exception to this rule.
No pop-ups. Blogs with pop-up ads will not be added to the list. Also, if your blog is riddled with ads I will most likely assume that your primary goal is to make money rather than share music, and your blog will not be added
Blogs that are less than a month old, or have fewer than 20 posts will not be added. I've seen a lot of blogs disappear almost as soon as they start, which is my reason for this rule. This list isn't going to disappear, so please be patient and submit your blog once it has surpassed this mark.
Don't forget to include the category that you would like your blog to be listed under. Feel free to suggest a new category if your blog falls under a particular genre that isn't listed. I personally visit every blog on this list, but I don't have time to browse through your entire archive. Try to avoid using the 'Various/Eclectic' category unless there is absolutely no other category that your blog could fall under. If your blog primarily posts punk rock, but you share the occasional classical or jazz album, then your blog belongs in the punk rock category.
If your blog fails to the criteria, do not fret. There are plenty of other great aggregators and blog lists, which I'm sure would be more than happy to list you, and conveniently enough, you can find them right here.
