RISING: Footyhip

Judging a blog's character and quality is a difficult task. What makes one blog better than another? Do you read a particular blog just because of their music taste? Their news? Their editorials? I think the answer to my first question lies in between the lines of the page. What defines a good blog is one that is passionate and genuine about their literally endeavors, whether that may be music, sports, food, etc.

That being said, I am happy to say that I have found my new favorite blog: Footyhip, a site that certainly defines what good blogging is. Footyhip is a up-and-coming blog created by three witty, intelligent, and most importantly, passionate young college students. The "footy" aspect of their blog contains writing about their love of soccer, while the "hip" refers to all that is their passion for great music. They have already turned me onto many great artists including Foster The People and Ace Enders (I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business). Although they may be a relatively new blog, I already envision a bright future for these guys. Some blogs fly by on mediocre, bland, and unimaginative writing, while blogs like Footyhip are paving the way for what true blogging is. Their work is a clear labor of love and deserves some recognition. Check out Footyhip!
