(TEMECULA, Calif.) — NEWS: MuseWire has been selected by the panelists at Feedspot as one of the Top 60 Music Industry Blogs on the web. Musewire™ (aka Music Industry Newswire™) covers music makers, music gear, the music business and related topics; established 2005. A publication of Neotrope®. Edited by Christopher Simmons, a working tech journalist since 1984, and member ASCAP.
“This was a nice out-of-the-blue honor,” says Christopher Laird Simmons. “MuseWire used to be a fairly large news portal prior to 2016, when I scaled things back to more of a personal blog thing due to the explosion of ‘me-too’ music news sites. Now I just share stuff I’m into, and not every version update of a music plugin.”
“I personally give you a high-five and want to thank you for your contribution to this world. This is the most comprehensive list of Top 60 Music Industry Blogs on the internet and I’m honored to have you as part of this!” said Feedspot founder Anuj Agarwal.
“I hope to uplift the site by morphing into a video channel on YouTube sometime in 2022,” adds Simmons. “Video is really more compelling for many things now like reviews and tutorials of music tech. Since I just built a new home studio, the timing is just about right.”
