Day Trotter

So I was at my local coffee shop today and I was listening to my same old music I always do when it dawned on, I do not really have any new music. Then I remembered a site that I stumbled upon awhile back that could help me out but I could not recall its name. So I searched and searched for hours and hours (really 5 mins) and now I am delighted to direct your attention to The Day Trotter.(Link) This website gives you a daily dose of new music in the form of in depth reviews, interviews and of course free music downloads! Now I know you come to my blog to learn about kick ass new musicians but these peeps know what the hell they are up too. The Day Trotter covers all kinds of music but their main focus seems to fall in the alternative music scene. It has covered bands ranging from mainstream artists like Death Cab for Cutie to lesser-known artists like Aesop Rock. All and all this website deeply immerses you within each band it reviews so much that you feel as though you have known the for years.

Pandora Radio

Okay lets face it, normal radio sucks excluding stations like 89.3 The Current.(Link) Companies like Clear Channel Communications own most of the airwaves racking in almost $3.5 billion a year. How do you think they make all that money? By airing commercials and taking cash from the 4 main music companies so there artists will get that majority of the airtime. Now I don't think that is what people had in mind when radio was invented. Well when there is a problem there is most likely a solution online. That solution is Pandora Radio(Link) which is a website that makes you the DJ of your own radio station. With a few simple steps you will we be able to enjoy your favorite music for FREE while at the same discovering new music of the same genre. Ohh ya I almost forgot, NO commercials! Just type in an artist that you like and bingo you have created a radio channel dedicated to that artist and any other artists that are related to them. This makes discovering new bands almost effortless and once you have found a new band you like you can then make a channel about that band to find even more new bands! Pandora Radio has endless hours of content that will make even the most avid music fans discover something new.
