Sad, after Giornale Nuovo quit last year, musical blog Woebot decided to do the same. He will be sorely missed. If you are new to his writing just check his penultimate entry on jazz.
Questions have been raised (by John Coulthart amongst others, though I can’t find his post) on what will happen to the archives of the writing of these wonderful blogs. Other than books, which are disseminated, web content is stored in a centralized fashion. If a source disappears, it’s usually gone forever. Services such as the Wayback machine may help. Check the archives for Woebot there.
FWIW, that post was here: http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/?p=2506
There seems to have been a spate of good blogs closing up shop recently.
