Blogariddims Top 50
Edit - Blogariddims is now over, but I'm using this post as a summary of the whole cast, so please don't be alarmed if you've been here before and it's all different - it's not your mind playing tricks on you.
This post is intended to replace the old and cobwebby blogariddims post currently in the sidebar, so apologies to regular readers for any repetition.
For those that don't know, Blogariddims is a fortnightly inter-blog podcast which was started in June 2006, with the aim of showcasing the high level and variety of selecting, mixing and writing talent in the small corner of the music blogosphere inhabited by nuumskulls, faded-junglists, genre-nerds and bass addicts of every stripe. We took a short break in the summer of 2007 after 24 episodes, and are now speeding towards our golden edition. Weareie's role in all this has been to manage and host the cast whilst also making the occasional contribution - basically, we're the blogariddims bureaucrats.
We like to encourage subscription to blogariddims, but the episodes are also available for download individually. Here are the options:

One thing that's been lacking since Paul Autonomic stopped doing regular updates on his blog, is that there is no central resource for accessing the mixes and the accompanying blog posts at the same time, so without further ado - here is the Blogariddims top 50, complete with a link to each mix (the title) and relevant post (the description):

"Before the ego of MCs took over radio was all about rollage - a steady, nervous momentum. A momentum we've tried to respect by matching grime's frenetic energy - that's why you've got 69 tracks in 60 minutes. The mix is largely instrumental not because we want to devoice a voice-heavy genre, but because grime started as club."

Blogariddims 49/Dubtronics
So here we are at our penultimate episode and the monstrous delay can only mean one thing – it’s another droid + slug mix! This time we're trying our hardest to be trendy by actually playing some tunes that are less than a year old... You may have noticed that weareie hasn’t really had much to say about dubstep over the last few years – but that’s not to say we haven’t been listening. I was drawn into the world of blogging through a desire to explore the emerging grime scene in 2003, and I’ve followed the split in the scene and it’s divergent streams reasonably closely ever since.
Blogariddims 50/Terminus
We're ending the series with a collection of short sets from some of the most crucial contributors, each of whom has produced roughly 7 minutes of music that has been slotted together to form this CD length final episode. Initially this set was going to consist of a drunken spoken word monologue from myself in which I aired all my grudges and complaints from the last couple of years. Unfortunately I ended up with a 5 hour recording that couldn't be edited down to a comprehensible 74 minutes rant.
Well thats it. Any questions or bad links please feel free to comment and let me know. It's been fun.

There is a blog for 32 - see http://www.weareie.com/2007/12/blogariddims-update.html
er... thanks anon, but thats a plug I wrote for the episode because there was no blog entry.
I realise that I may give the impression of being somewhat scatterbrained at times, but I do usually remember my own posts!
here's a better link for 4

Hello. Sorry but I wasn't trying to be negative. It's f**king brilliant what you organised with Blogariddims. I appreciate you'd prefer to link to the original blog/creater. As a listener of the music, I am keen to understand what I'm listening to. I'd prefer to see your blog if there is nothing else. Once again sorry but thanks for the music!
this one gives a list of the tracks for #14

Not at all. Many thanks for the corrections! Many of them are due to articles being moved or archived... Ive also contacted Hal about his earlier episodes and he's going to repost the articles in question. As for Stelfox's episode - the tracklist is available in the feed and in the ID3 tags of that episode, so I didn't see the point in linking to the same info here.
BTW - who are you oh anonymous proof-reader? ;)
John (real name) Average. Born in England 53 & moved to New Zealand 87 with wife + 2 kids. Cannot play a musical instrument nor mix but enjoy listening to virtually all music. West Ham fan. My site is www.westhamstats.info Thanks again for facilitating the excellent mixes! Downloading #42 at the moment!
Well thanks for all your help John. its greatly appreciated. I'm going to fix those linkos now.
I was feeling pretty stupid about all those link errors - then I realised that both John and Paul have upgraded their blogs since those casts, which is why the old links didn't work!
I'll get onto Hal and see what the story is with his posts as soon as. I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised that someone cared enough to let me know there were problems.
Thanks again John!
Do you have the tracklistings anywhere? I can't find it if you do. Ben
Yes Ben, in the blog posts and in the ID3 tags of nearly every episode - and in the RSS feed for that matter.
Can't believe I've missed this whole series until now (just came here from a mention on Grievous Angel's site) - the whole series looks amazing and I now have to find a *lot* of time to check it all out! Much looking forward to it - many thanks to you and all the contributors in advance.
Spotted a couple of broken links here:
The link for Blogariddims 1 goes to a page for the original Shwantology mix, not Shwantology 2. I think the link shoudl be this one: http://www.weareie.com/2006/07/blogariddims-1-shwantology-2.html
Also, the link for Blogariddims 46 has moved here: http://radiomagnetic.com/shows/blogariddims/46-doppelmix/
Hey Double K. Thanks for that. Ive updated those links, and I'm relived to see that the doppelgangers post was saved somewhere before he scrapped his old blog.
