the modern folk music of america
Blogs I follow
| Introduction | the goal of my blog is to feature what i think of as "folk music" which is music made by people who are trying to get by leading lives in our modern world who love to express themselves through music. any genre or medium is welcome. i prefer submissions via soundcloud, bandcamp, or youtube, because these formats allow me to easily embed your music in my post and it leads readers directly back to your site, video stream, etc. my blog is unlike many music blogs because i do not select or review the music i post. i post what is given to me or what i come across with out making any judgement of taste on it (though i tend to say a few positive words, why not?), i accept it as an artifact of american folk culture, much like the spiritual namesakes of my blog, john and alan lomax, would have. MFOA has been going for over two years now and has featured nearly 100 musicians, many of whom do not have exposure anywhere else. i hope that it has helped this music reach more ears than it otherwise would have. at the very least, MFOA provides a place to curate and collect this music. i would like to collect a lot more. |
