ReplyDeletegreat place and they offer weekend mixes.
pay attention to the end of the year lists as they will start to pop up here in about two weeks. pitchfork has some great end of year lists such as: top 100 singles of the year, top 50 albums, etc etc. if you can get over their smarmy diction in their reviews then these are great ways to subject yourself to new music. the top singles list has links to each song in downloadable-mp3, streaming audio, or youtube video. the list runs the gamut of music released in the year but you can bet that there will be some indie rock, some electronica, some mainstream rap, mainstream female r&b, and gobs of pop music (not top 40 pop). i feel like i'm cheating whenever i rifle through this list because i don't have to do anything but open the webpage and BAM i have 20 new bands or albums that i must download.
