Extended Play and Soundboard are now Pop & Hiss

Those who may have been following this blog have probably noticed that the number of posts has drastically declined in recent weeks. And after this blog post, they will stop completely.

Launching today is the brand-new Los Angeles Times music blog, Pop & Hiss. Those of you who checked Extended Play for Grammy-related news and music industry ramblings will find the same posts over at Pop & Hiss, which I will be co-editing with Margaret Wappler, who up until now had done a fine job of running Soundboard, another music blog born within these walls.

So in short: Everything that was on Soundboard and Extended Play is now on Pop & Hiss. The new blog will feature the combined talents of every Los Angeles Times music writer, as well as (fingers crossed) contributions from the Business section staff and anyone else at 202 W. 1st St. who wishes to share an opinion on pop music.

Stay free, and we hope to see you at Pop & Hiss.
