Come on Sahil, you know the rules..
when promoting your own thing, you need to entitle it a JAG before someone else (like me in this instance) catches you out ;)
JAG-fest!
Here is mine. It is very much in its infancy.

And here is the website of a friend of mine, for whom I occasionally write. This site is genuinely good.
http://www.gigsreviewsnews.com

Self promotion again...
But me and my friend just started up one today, we only have one review but it is Jofo so DiS people might like a read.

This is mine.
Despite the shameless self-promotion, this is a fun thread because I get to read lots of other cool blogs.
before i started a blog two years ago
I used to read Another Form Of Relief, Sweeping The Nation, The Daily Growl and Take Your Medicine (now Nothing But Green Lights). And I still read all of them now. There are some great newer blogs of course but I guess the above are my favourites.
