heureusement qu il y a eux les disquaires, car leurs choix sont plus dans la diversité, pertinents , assez loin de que l on peut lire ici, ou autres organes de presse branchée , qui se regroupent dans leurs choix …. même liste a quelques exceptions , les blogs me semblent plus pertinent aussi .
après la soit disante bible inde alternative Pitch fourchette , c’est souvent mouvais pour 50% , ( comme les inrocks…) le reste est dans l ultra populaire .
