Musicovery
June 1st, 2010 Posted by Louise
Looking for a unique way to discover new music? I stumbled upon Musicovery.com and was immediately swept in by its innovative and effective design.
Musicovery is a music bank, organized in a way that you might not have seen before. Are you familiar with political compasses? They tell you just how far left or right you fall on the economic scale, but also whether you tend to fall on the libertarian side or the authoritarian side. What's this got to do with music? On Musicovery, you "pick" your music by moving the cursor on two distinctive "musical" compasses....
Top 10 Songs

Looking at a current list of the top ten* songs, I started wondering how it would compare to one from a few years back. Then, I thought it would be cool if there were a Web site that archived all of the top 10 songs lists. Naturally there was: www.top10songs.com.
You can use Top10Songs.com to compare lists from each year since 2004. You also can check out a specific month or even a specific week! Last week, Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now," Train's "Hey, Soul Sister," and Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" topped the charts, whereas in 2005, during the same week, we...

Expose Yourself! (To new music, silly)

When it comes to keeping up with what is new and fresh in music, I find the radio is not the only place you can use. You need to have reliable sources that can give you the best scoop on what to listen to. I’m going to list some of my ideas and let you decide for yourself.
First, your public library is a good start. Going through their music to find new albums, or just stuff that is new to you, is a great place to discover things. You can skim a few magazines like Rolling Stone or Spin, but...
Song Memories From Youth
June 11th, 2009 Posted by TK
As you grow older memories become a greater part of your life. This makes perfect sense as you have a greater pool of topics to pull memories from. But the more important part of this phenomena is that as you increase in years there are certain moments that you cling to. And music pulls these out into your conscious. Many of the song stories that are being shared at Song Journals deal with the events of youth. In our week-long study of how songs move people, we are going to look at the musical memories of youth:
