Music on the Internet

Sorry for the late notice, but I’ll be on 207, the evening news program of NBC’s Maine affiliates, in about, 30 minutes. Didn’t know until the taping that it would show tonight.

The topic was finding new music online, so I thought I’d post some of the sites we talked about:

  • Pandora: Create your own radio station using the Music Genome Project. Basically, you enter in your favorite band or song and they "read the DNA" and start streaming similar, related music. You can weigh in with thumbs up or down to tweak your station to your liking. You can even add more bands, and create a bluegrass/gangster rap station, if you like.
  • eMusic: An mp3 store for independent labels. Ten bucks a month will get you 40 downloads that you can keep, burn, or store on your iPod. Check out Ultraglide in Black, by the Dirtbombs.
  • MySpace: Well, you can’t really talk about music on the Web w/o talking about MySpace. Forget about the bad press they’re currently getting and concentrate on the incredible wealth of songs and videos to check out. Listen to Meet Me in the City by The Black Keys.
  • LivePlasma: I didn’t mention this one, but it’s a great link. Addictive, interactive cues to what bands are "like" other bands. Also works for movies.
