Yeah so I'm still a pretty poor blogger but I'm trying as of now!!
I've used lots of musicy websites. My first was Pandora, which I loved, I was on it constantly then they changed it so you can't listen to it from the UK which sucks big toes! Then got into Last FM which I know is pretty much exactly the same but something about the interface and the adverts meant it never appealed to me in the same way as Pandora.
But I have recently been reunited with hype Machine through Last FM so it suppose it has its uses.
I apparently joined Hype Machine in 2009 but i can't really remember how or why.
So ok, you don't get music generated to suit your tastes but you search an artist or a song you like or are curious about and you can find fantastic, obscure covers or new material when you though you'd heard it all. Being able to spy on what other users are 'loving' and being able to keep tabs the the most popular music is a nice feature but I don't think I'll ever properly use it. I've found some fantastic bits to keep me entertained without that for now.
I see Hype Machine as a Spiderweb of blogs taking you from something you know you like to find something else. You have a music library full of things you enjoy, pop a song you like into it and you listen to a cover of that song, that takes you to another artist and their own songs or covers of their songs or collaborations.
To say the least I'm having great fun with it, and it will defiantly fuel my blog and hopefully make me slightly more competent at this.
Aye it's a pretty boring one but more to come!!
This is a song a discovered on Hype Machine last night and kinda fell in love with it
