A Friday List of…
With the recent shutdown/raid of the OiNK BitTorrent tracker, I’m sure people are left wondering where they’re going to get their fix of new tunes. Well, thank goodness I’m here. Here’s my list of…
5 6 Sites To Help You Find New Music:
- Tiny Mix Tapes - Mostly a news/review site, but I’ve previously linked to their Automatic Mix Tape Generator which is an excellent way to find new stuff.
- Pitchfork Media - Aside from being the most trusted name in indie reviews (regardless of how pretentious their reviews can actually be), they also provide MP3s and music news.
- Gorilla vs Bear - One of the weirder sites I’ve come across, but usually chock full of diamonds in the rough. Seems to be more hit-or-miss than most, though.
- Daytrotter - Their free-to-listen-and-download in-studio sessions alone are reason enough to check out this site. Absolutely amazing.
- The Hype Machine - A round-up of whatever’s popular on the mp3 blogs. I find it can be difficult to navigate at times (due, mostly, to the sheer volume of information), but an excellent way of finding new bands and expanding your library.
- Virb - Best described as a MySpace-without-the-suck, I’ve managed to find some excellent music on Virb lately. Especially this guy (link via Taylor).
