Yep you heard right, there's a new channel and it's all about da blues! Blues & Roots, actually.
Go check it out, vote up some good ole' blues music, and if you have any sifts that can be added to the channel, please don't hesitate. That includes blues music that was put in *jazz! I've already done quite a bit of channel reassignment and tagging, but any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, folks!
Here's a bit of the best of blues for ya:

I must protest slightly though - how can a channel called "blues" be OKed, even though we already have "Jazz and Blues" and Tech be dismissed because we have geek? I think that's a bit weird. Shennanigans!
Oh well, I suppose we gotta oust blues from the jazz channel and make them properly separate now.
EndAll, some clarification, if you please: What kind of Blues do you accept? Does it have to be real blues, BB King and such, or can we put sad music in it too (I'm thinking some of the Elliott Smith tunes)?
I understand the confusion, and I do believe that jazz will exclude legitimate blues posts' from now on, although there is such thing as blues-jazz fusion music. It might get a bit mixed, but that's all good IMO.
I'd like to keep it as having only music that is inspired by blues, IS blues, or is a derivative of blues. Along with that, as I mention in the channel description: This channel will be for all kinds of blues music, as well as traditional Americana, folk, roots music, and contemporary roots revival music, leaning towards a bluesy sound.
IMO sad != blues, but exceptions can be made and I'm open to accepting some of those.
Oh, I made myself a channel, but gwiz slightly protests.
And if he don't stop complaining, I'm gonna have to pinch his breasts.
I'll reassign or add (in case of jazz-blues/blues-jazz) for me posts..
And the Love channel loves blues (and so do blues lyricists:))
