VIVA-RADIO

So, here's another website you should check out. The URL is www.VIVA-RADIO.com. Pretty much an online radio station that plays really ballin music. I like being able to choose from several different shows simultaneously. Also, this is a great way to find new bands you might be interested in, so after going to this site you can go out and buy the CD, if you can find it. One song I found on the site that I'm now hooked on is "Slow Beat" by the group Escape From New York. Oh yeah, the site is underwritten by American Apparel, so thanks for such an awesome site. I think I might even go down to the local AA store and snag some stuff...

The Hype Machine

So this is a new website I found today. The URL is hypem.com and it actually tracks music blogs to see what are some of the most talked about tracks and artists. This is great because it allows you to get to the interesting aspects of people's blogs (new music) and cuts out the worthless part of the blogs (people's lives). I really like that the "popular" section of the site only has songs that have been posted less than 3 days ago. If it didn't, we'd still be reading about "Paper Planes" and "All my Friends". Which brings up Paper Planes by M.I.A. . Yeah, it's a good song, but it really is getting way over-hyped. OMFG it has gun shots as part of the beat!!!!! I mean... it's ok but it's really not that interesting or original. But at least she's getting more attention. Usually, if my suite mate Patrick plays a song, it's time to stop listening to it... Unfortunately, he's put the track on the three song playlist that he keeps on loop all day. So now it's "Paper Planes", "Where is my Mind?" by The Pixies, and the Death Cab song "Crooked Teeth". Personally, I think that Kala has much better songs to offer, my favorite being Come Around... Well, if you want to listen to it, here is a link to the album:

This is my first blog, so I really have no idea as to how to start one off properly. Anyways, I hope that people get some sort of enjoyment out of this blog...
