One of the interesting things about reading friends' blogs is seeing the different styles that emerge. For example, MikeDot's blog is mostly about storytelling. His posts are like mini-essays, usually with a lot of wit and humor. My personal favorite is the post about string arrangements, if only for this part:
(One day drummers and violists are going to be tired of getting picked on and are going to revolt against the Guitar/Violin Machine [G/VM]. The streets will run red with blood and catgut. We will build crosses out of rosewood & maple. And as we're rhythmically nailing them to the crosses, the drummers will undoubtedly rush the beat.)
Another style which I like is found in Waved Rumor, Dfactor's blog, and Travelers Diagram (Update: Tim's active link blog can be found here), Tim and Melissa's blog. Dfactor is like a clearing house of information about his passion, which is the rock. I don't know how he finds so much news, but he's always got something interesting to read. Worth checking out. Tim and Melissa also have the passion for music and they post interesting things like their top 10 shows for the year or their top 25 albums for the year. Think of them as the cool friend who seems to know about every cool band months before anybody has heard of them.

Dfactor has a way cool blog. Blogs a cool. I like cool blogs.
Oh yeah, Mike needs to quit seven or so bands in order to dedicate more time for blogging. Is Let It Be two weeks worth of being the best LP ever? I could fit twelve best LP's ever into the period since he posted last, in fact I may have.....

Thanks for the complement, Dave. The TD link blog (http://del.icio.us/travelersdiagram) is where you can find the bulk of my blog content these days... including the very best links to left-skewed opinion from the NYTimes!...;-)
I agree that it's facinating to see friends' blog styles. Glad to see you join the fray. Looking forward to more stories of Elf Girl!
