Resources

There are so many interesting music-related resources on the net that if even a selection were to be added to the sidebar like a conventional blogroll, the blog itself would look stunted in comparison. And yet we feel easy access to these resources is important. So here we resort to a natural compromise - we collate the links, classify them into separate categories, and then add them to a dedicated post on resource. This page is intended to be updated regularly.

(NB: By and large, links within each category have been listed in alphabetical order)
