A suggestion

If anyone out there wants to expand their musical horizons, the blog Mind The Gap gives really good insight into music scenes that are often neglected but still really interesting, and also puts music into a more socioeconomic perspective.

The best way to put it is this blog is kind of like reading The New Yorker, except for music. Even if it's not your style (it's hardly mine), it can still be interesting to see what else is out there.
