How do you stay on top of the latest music available. Music Magazines? No they are published once a month, by the time you read em, the hype is dead. Myspace? Great for bands but you have to actively search out what you want and relying on their top pics is now like asking a store clerk “What are the specials today?”. I read today about a great MP3 Blog aggregator site called The Hype Machine
The site is set up and run by a college student here in New York. It’s set up to scan music blogs for posts with links to mp3s, indexes those posts and provides the reader access to listen to the music, read the review/blog on the track and even purchase the music through Amazon or iTunes.
I’ve only been viewing this for a few days but I can see this page being a jump of point for most of my future music searches.
