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...
