I hope by now that anyone reading this will have been encouraged to at least visit some of the blogs mentioned in these posts. Some of you may even have made new blog friends and that’s wonderful, because that’s what my blog is all about. Getting Blogland moving a bit, encouraging us to venture out of our comfort zones.

So, without further ado, here are my recommendations for today:

A poetry blog here :

For anyone who enjoys a good rant (and this is one with a sort-of happy ending) pay a visit here:

For fans of Nina Simone, I would recommend this well written account of the Sao Paulo film festival:

A very nice poetry blog here: http://clubman.blog.co.uk/2009/06/17/a-rose-6322253/

A music blog here: http://topofthestairs.blog.co.uk/2009/07/08/ben-clempson-6472270/

And finally….. Sometimes I recommend the entire blog (when I have time to check it through) and sometimes I just recommend individuals posts….. and sometimes…well, sometimes you find a blog you just want to keep going back to...

This is my third visit to Orcus’ blog and I have to admit – I’m hooked! I’ve even subscribed so that I never have to miss another moment. It’s a classic, and today there is yet another mention of (Nazi) Dave – Oh, and MAKE SURE you click on the link to hear the busker! This is a real gem of a blog and I strongly urge you to check it out!
