Fill up that new player – 5 of the best music sites

 zune-hd-vs-ipod-touch So, were you entranced by the announcements from Apple? Or you are anticipating the release of the Zune HD? Or  maybe you just need to refresh your listening on the morning commute? These 5 sites are my recommendations to find new music to listen to:

  • Last.FM – my favourite music recommendation site, you gather up information about what you are listening to (called scrobbling) and then the last.fm site recommends new music that you might like. You can also browse what other people are listening to and recommending and listen to customised radio streams – and much more. If you use last.fm – you can add me to your circle of friends (my profile is here).
  • Rcrdlbl.com – completely web based music label, great for finding new music from around the globe. A great source for some cool dance remixes and European oddities.
  • The Hype Machine – aggregates reviews from hundres of music blogs across the web, and provides an alternative ‘lens’ on music reviews.
  • Stereogum – since 2002, a premier source for indie and alternative music news and MP3’s – new music, video clips and information about concerts and tours.
  • DJ Bynar – Indie music blog and podcast, which is amazing source of new music tips, at the very least you should be subscribing to the podcast.
