First of all, bad pun in the title. Second: Alright, so maybe I'm just a bit slow on the uptake, but I am obsessed with the Hype Machine. It's the music lover's dream come true. Type in almost any musical artist or track in the search box, and an entire host of songs pop up, just waiting to be listened to for FREE. A lot of the songs include a link to a blog where you can download mp3s for free. Can we say, score big?
The technicalities: the Hype Machine is an mp3 blog aggregator, and it's been around since 2005. It basically pulls from a bunch of daily music blogs and websites around the web, and allows for easy compilation of all your favorite songs.
So if you, like me, are perhaps a bit behind the times, stop by and give the Hype Machine a look. Check it out!
Personal faves of the week:
Illinois "Nosebleed"
Sea Wolf "You're a wolf"
Bloc Party "Flux"
Happy listening.

Doesn't this put your views on music piracy in pretty much direct opposition to the views of Lauren in this D-(eye) on Arts post?

You are right, obviously... in the case of all three bands you recommend (save for, possibly, Bloc Party in the UK), its far better for the artists if you snag their songs off of the blogs and then hopefully get excited enough to buy a ticket and tee shirt next time they swing through the Midwest.
We're not required to agree on everything. If that were the case, I'd have been kicked off the staff a long time ago.
