I can imagine that most of you are too much like me. We all spend too much time online.
And, since we are going to be online much of the time, one must know - where should we go to see/hear some new music?
Well, I have a few favorites that I will share today.
I like the British magazine Blender. They have some great articles on the best/worst bands/songs/albums of all time - that will not only give you some new music to listen to, but you will end up laughing like a hyena while you're at it.
Here's a great entry they did on some of the most bizarre "mashups" that could ever be done. Now don't laugh because I only recently realized what a "mashup" really is - but laugh because these are really great! And, one must assume that the creators of these odd juxtopositions of different songs (and genres, as well) are some oddballs at home, like us, who are fearless in their experiments with music, and will combine things that seem to have no apparent connection. Doesn't this define "progressive" in a way?
Another favorite site are the NPR music blogs.
I heard a new band today on this site, The Cribs, and also read that the infamous Johnny Marr had joined the band.
I also like the LA Times music blogs - many of the topics are a bit more mainstream, but there's plenty worth reading and some nice video clips to boot. Here's an excellent article on how bands can get more fans through social media sites.
