A self-declared professor, Gray Balls, runs a playful mock-academic newsletter that treats music videos as objects for philosophical and cultural interpretation. Issues mix surreal course syllabi with essayistic riffs on songs such as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", offering loose, humorous commentary rather than rigorous criticism.

Molly Mary O'Brien's personal music blog mixes first-person accounts of live shows, driving and everyday life with song appreciation. The excerpts cover an all-ages punk show, a soft rock night and behind-the-scenes trivia about a music video, giving readers a warm, idiosyncratic take on music.
Diana Death's newsletter mixes personal, first-person stories from her rock career, such as the making of her first music video in Los Angeles, with news on new collaborations and a dated gig and recording history of her San Diego band Razor Nights. It reads as an artist's own archive and update feed rather than a general music publication.
